RE: Question about the reminder app

[Paula Jordan]

There is also a little app called alarmed.  There is a free and a paid version. 
 It is accessible and you can set a reminder to nag you every minute or however 
often you need.  Believe me, it reminds you until you turn it off.  It takes a 
little fiddling around to set it, but it’s doable.  I use it for any really 
important reminders.  HTH.

God bless!

Hello,

 

What should I do to have the phone reminding me about anything?

Once I asked Siri to remind me and the reminder showed up in my windows pc 
instead of the phone.

I would like the phone ring or make any sound to remind me  

Is it possible?

RE: Accessable alarm clock App that allows you to use nature sounds for the alarms

[Paula Jordan]

So, once you've created a new alarm sound, will it stay in place for all future 
alarms?  In the past I could use a song for my wake up alarm one time, but then 
it would go back to that annoying default sound.  Thanks.

Yes.  ON my 13 Pro, when I double tap on the sound in the alarm I am setting or 
editing, above the Ringtones is a Pick a song button.  I think for some, that 
button may be at the very bottom.
Once you double tap that, it will give you choices in your music library.

Also, the Naturespace app has a free Ocean sound that I think is quite good.
And it can be used as an alarm clock from what Anna Dresner said.  I have not 
set mine up, but it is a free app, and if primarily you want the Ocean, it 
would be a good one to try.

voice memos question

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  I'm taking flute lessons over zoom and wanted my teacher to record
a piece of music using voice memos and send it to me.  She's not able to
find the voice memos app on her 15 pro.  I thought that app was native to
the iphone.  Is that right? Is there another free recording app that would
allow her to record and send the recording as a text message like you can
with voice memos?  Any thoughts are welcome.

I've had a Walmart Plus account for about 3 years and use the Walmart app on my

fee is waived provided the order is $35 or more. I find the app easy to use and 
since I tend to reorder the same items repeatedly, the app remembers what has 
been ordered which makes this easy.

To those of you who play the blindfold solitaire games, Thanks to Linda on

and want to upgrade the game.  This morning when I opened the game I was
told that I had no more coins and told that I needed to buy more coins or
upgrade.  However, it took me immediately to the game and allowed me to play
rather than sending me  to the app store.  I am willing to pay to play but
not sure how to go about it.  Any thoughts.  By the way, I won the game.

Hi Linda and anyone else playing the blindfold solitaire games.  I don't have 
any problems with direct touch.  What I have figured out is that each time I 
play a game in the app I need to close the app with the app switcher and then 
go back to play a second game.  By the way, thanks for the suggestion about the 
 spider game.  So far I've only played with one suit and have only won one 
game, but it's a lot of fun.  I'm going to purchase it.

I really miss playing my spider Solitaire.

I would also be interested in hearing from any knitters that have found any

RE: Instacart update broke tip adjustment

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all.  One of the reasons I switched from Shipt to Instacart was the wider 
variety of stores I could choose from.  When I had a Shipt membership several 
years ago, there were only two stores available. Has this changed?  Thanks.  
I’m hoping that if anyone changes to Shipt they’ll let Instacart know that 
they’ve changed due to accessibility problems.  Letting the problem be known 
might put a little pressure on. 

God bless!

Hi Sarai and all,

Funny you say this about Shipt, I just got a one-month subscription to try it 
out due to my absolute inability to effectively communicate with Instacart 
regarding accessibility related concerns.

I’m still wrestling with the inability to search for products beyond those 
which Instacart recommends for replacement options.  Some have said they can 
find a search button with screen recognition turned on but I cannot reproduce 
this at all running iOS 17.5.1 and the latest version of the Instacart app 
which by me is version 8.26.0 34014.

I’m sorry to hear yet another thing has broken. This is very disheartening and 
since grocery procurement is such a vital pert of life it saddens me that many 
of the consumer orgs don’t pay more attention to such matters.

Take good care,

Robin

IOS 17.5.1 and SIRI

[Paula Jordan]

Hi everyone.  I noticed that 17.5.1 is now available.  Since SIRI seems to
be working quite well under 17.5, I am reluctant to update.  I don't want to
screw up a good thing.  Has anyone noticed any negative changes?  Thanks.

God bless!

RE: The Accessibility of a Particular Metronome iPhone App

[Paula Jordan]

Hi Jim.  I use the app smart metronome and tuner.  It’s fully accessible and 
can subdivide.  It has tuner tones also.  I’ve had it so long that I can’t 
remember whether there is a cost or not.  HTH.

God bless!

Subject: The Accessibility of a Particular Metronome iPhone App

 

Hello there friends and list members,

I am needing to get a good metronome app that goes beyond the basics. I’m 
needing one that is easy to set and that allows for particular sub beats to be 
set as well.

The app my music teacher is using is called ProMetronome, and it does some 
fantastic stuff. However, I don’t know if it is just operator error, but I 
haven’t found it to be very accessible or useable. Some of the buttons don’t 
seem to be labeled, and I can’t tell how to set a particular tempo or beats per 
minute.

Before I write to the app developer, I wanted to know if anyone has used it or 
if other people find it useable and maybe I am the one missing something. I 
don’t want to write a developer and give him a whole deal about accessibility 
to blind people when other blind people are using the app just fine. I hope you 
don’t mind if I brought this up on the list.

If this is not a useable app, does anyone have a good app that can be used with 
the phone? I’m using Tempo Perfect, but to set it, I have to literally slide my 
finger up and down through the beats per minute, and if I’m going from 60 to 
160, I would like a better way. Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

RE: Seven Little words.

[Paula Jordan]

I no longer play 7 little words because it’s clunky and hard for me, but I play 
a game called zannograms.  Not sure about the spelling.  The basic game is free 
and includes 2 puzzle packs.  Additional puzzle packs are around 99 cents from 
the app store and you can also purchase hints.  I believe the game is designed 
by someone who is visually impaired, so it’s completely easily accessible. 

I love it.

God bless!

Alex,

 

The game 7 Little Words is accessible. My thought is, the gestures to play the 
game is different from the voiceover gestures. A 3 finger flick switches from 
words & characters. A 2 finger swipe from left to right reads the clues by 
letter or word. Swiping in the opposite direction the clues will be 
spelled/spoken in reverse. A 1 finger swipe left to right moves down by line. 
Swiping right to left moves up by line. A 1 finger swipe down jumps from the 
clues section to the letter tiles section & a 1 finger swipe up moves from the 
letter tiles to the clues section. I hope these instructions helps you to be 
able to play. The game structure was changed 2+ years ago because coding the 
game for Android is easier than APple, So the game developer just has to do a 
minor tweak in order for the game to work on the Apple platform & voiceover 
users making use of the Direct Touch feature.

Alison, I tried it, and it’s horrible, completely inaccessible in my view!

What are you using as your client?

I believe Apple Mail, Google Mail and Outlook apps can all support gmail, and 
then of course you could be using the web page.

Sorry, but not quite enough information.

Gmail does call its folders “labels” because instead of considering a set  of 
folders that one can drop mail into where each message is independent in every 
folder, Gmail u has only one grouping of messages (found in All Mail or 
sometimes archive folder in services that communicate with Gmail via the IMAP 
protocol. It then labels to each message like “Inbox” or “Sent”.

 

So perhaps I have given you enough information so you can figure it out.

RE: hearing aids and iPhone

[Paula Jordan]

I have Starke hearing aids which I can pair to my phone.  I have two settings 
under audio routing.  The “call audio” setting is for phone calls. The “media” 
setting is for sounds on the phone.  I usually keep my call audio setting 
paired since I find it easier to hear phone calls through my aids.  I typically 
keep my media audio setting turned off unless I’m doing something like writing 
a text or playing a game when I’m out and about and don’t want to disturb 
others around me.  It is quite easy to pair and unpair the aids.  The setting 
is on my phone under accessibility.  The only small drawback with having the 
phone calls paired is that I can’t call my phone from another device if I’ve 
mislaid it since it rings through my aids so I can’t use the ringing to locate 
my phone.  I’ve solved this by telling Siri to tell me a story.  I can usually 
hear the speaker and find the phone that way. Good luck with your hearing aids. 
I put mine in as soon as I get up in the morning and take them out  the last 
thing at night.

God bless!

Subject: hearing aids and iPhone

 

Hi,

I am plunging into the world of hearing aids.  While it’s mostly because I have 
difficulty with quiet voices and loud environments, the guy who will set up my 
aids did tell me they can connect to my phone. I’m assuming most sighted people 
only connect theirs when listening to a book or music; that is what the guy 
made it sound like.  I’m trying to get my head around  what that is like for 
voice over users.  Do you leave hearing aids always connected to the phone?   
Sometimes I’m on my phone and want to show my sighted family something.  Would 
I have to turn off the hearing aid connection to let them hear the audio from 
the phone?  They guy told me I’d have 4 to 5 programs set for different 
contexts.  Any recommendations of things I should ask when I go in to have the 
programs set up for the aids?  

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Robin

RE: changing alarm sound

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all. Here's The next episode in my alarm SOUND SAGA.  I SET MY song as an 
alarm and the next time the alarm went off, the song played just as I'd hoped.  
However, my alarm today went back to the default.  Weird!  Any thoughts?  I saw 
the repeat every day option, but I thought that meant the alarm I'd already 
set.  Maybe it meant the song?
God bless!

I think Richard already explained it, you absolutely can select a song from 
your music library, but as Richard said, the key is that the song has to be 
downloaded to your iPhone, if it's in the cloud it won't work.

RE: changing alarm sound

[Paula Jordan]

Hi Chris.  The song is already downloaded. 

I can’t find a place that lets me choose audio.  Where is it.  Maybe I’ll just 
have to deal with the default which isn’t quite as annoying an 17.1 as the 
previous sound.  Thanks for the suggestions.

God bless!

OK, I just tried this myself, and at first, it did the same thing.  I had the 
song selected, but it still played the default sound for me.

 

But now it works for me.  This is what I did.

Open music, go to library, and find that song.

Flick down, and download should be one of your choices.  So choose download.

In order for any song to be used as an alarm sound, it must be downloaded to 
your device.

 

If this for some reason does not work, then I have one more thing to try.

Go to music, swipe and choose audio quality.  Make sure lossess is turned off.

I read online that this sometimes caused an issue.  But you might not have to 
do that if downloading it works.

 

Hope this helps.

Well, unless something changed in 17.0.3, when you double tap on sound, you 
should be able to flick through to song, and double tap and pick something from 
your library. 

I'm on the 17.1 beta 3 and everything works as always. 

So maybe trying 17.1 when it is released if it isn't working now will be the 
answerÎ

mute button on facetime

Hi all.  I need to occasionally mute my phone while I'm on a facetime call.
I can't seem to find a mute button.  Is there one and where is it if it
exists?  Thanks.

God bless!

Subject: Weatherology iOS app

 

Thanks to Dennis Long for recommending this app.

I have added its details to my web site.  I'm copying what I put on my site 
below which includes the link to the app store.


Weatherology Mobile, LLC., free


I had tried this app some years ago. They have been udpating it, and now it 
works well with VoiceOver, at least for the forecast info. IN the 7.9 version, 
in settings, if you double tap on details instead of the simple forecast, it 
doesn't say selected, but it is. That should be fixed in the next update. Their 
customer support is excellent!

Description from the app store:
The first weather app that fully integrates into your home and car with 
real-time audio weather reports and emergency weather notifications; 
personalized for you.
We take weather to another level.
Our patented technology delivers real-time audio weather reports to your 
location.
It's voice-activated: Ask Weatherology for the latest forecast.
At home. In your car. On your phone.
It's real-time. With up-to-the-minute weather updates including the latest 
watches, warnings, advisories, and bulletins. We alert you with relevant 
weather notifications to keep you informed.
It's real people, not voice simulation: Select your favorite weather talent, 
and they provide real-time weather reports on demand.
It's accurate and personalized for your location.
The technology is new, but the Weatherology team has been around for 34 years. 
We have contributed to more award-winning local weather broadcasts than our 
largest competitors combined.
Apple CarPlay audio apps must be voice-activated and offer audio capabilities 
only, which is exactly what our app does. With the exception of navigation 
apps, content such as weather maps and radar are currently prohibited from 
being displayed as content on the dashboard. We are fo­cused on cre­at­ing the 
best hands-free audio ex­pe­ri­ence in ve­hi­cles in ac­cor­dance with Apple 
Car­Play guide­lines.
Although our expertise is audio, we are meteorologists, so we offer all the 
tools you need to stay informed. Up-to-the-minute radar that loads quickly and 
zooms in to your specific location. Storm vectors that illustrate current storm 
location and storm movement.
We offer current weather advisory graphics with up-to-the-minute audio weather 
details for each bulletin.
Hourly and 7-day forecast displays.
Weather conditions from around the world.
With Apple CarPlay, Weatherology provides a hands-free, safe way to get the 
latest weather in your car.
At home, have a real meteorologist provide your forecast with details for your 
location unmatched by synthetic voices currently available through Smart 
Speakers.
Automobile safety is priority number one and our app is the only weather app

RE: light detector

[Paula Jordan]

I have a very old app simply called light detector.  When you launch it it 
produces a tone.  The darker the area, the lower the tone.  When you get close 
to a light source the tone gets higher.  I don’t know if this app is still 
available in the app store.  I think it was one of the first apps I got some 10 
or so years ago.

Interesting to hear how different people work the roter. I find it easiest to

Hi, everyone, 

 

The trick to the rotor is to have your thumb and index finger spread quite a 
bit apart.  At least, this works for me, and hope it works for all of you as 
well.  As I said, my index finger and thumb are spread apart and I find that I 
can turn the rotor very easily.

Hello, I replied to this on MacVisionaries, but what I’m talking about is for 
iOs. :)

 

Two little things I’ve thought would be useful:

A VoiceOver gesture, (say a 2-finger swipe right) in the messages window to 
send the composed message. Instead of locating the send button.

A VoiceOver gesture to spell the current word in focus. Often I’m on the web 
and want something spelled out. It takes many little steps to turn the rotor to 
word, flick to the one I want, then turn the rotor to character, flick letter 
by letter. A simple shortcut would be super useful.

Those are two little things off the top of my head. :)

Take care,
Traci

Are there any features, accessibility-related or not, that you would like to

Sometimes Eye Note  works for me,  sometimes it doesn't. But now, I know that 
when it doesn't, it needs more light. So, I either turn a light on in the room,

It has been some time since I tried using EyeNote, but as I recall as soon as a

Beyond this “no action” issue, when I tapped on the screen I merely got a dull

You can use regular mp3 or m4a files for alarms. M4R files are only required 
for ringtones and text tones. 

It can be tricky to get to the song selection in the alarm settings, it is 
either at the top of the list or at the very bottom where you have to use the 
three finger swipe up multiple times to reach it. At least, that was the case 
the last time I changed songs.

Hi all.  The subject says it all.  I want to use an already downloaded song for 
my alarm sound.   Know it can be done, but I’ve had no success.  Any help would

hi,

 

Apple purchased Dark Sky years ago. the built-in iOS weather app got a major 
update with iOS thirteen, in which it ganed much better functionality. it works 
well. I have another weather app, Weathergods, which works well. it has savare 
storm threats, andf the neet thing about it is it has the ability for you to 
hear the weather. the sounds it has have a tutorial to know what they all mean. 
it works well with VoiceOver, and the developer is extreamly responsive to 
requests posted on AppleVis  for VoiceOver feedback and suggestions. 
WeatherOffice is also quire good. I don’t use it much, but i bought it to test 
it out, and it is good.

Hi guys,
   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who is not 
really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his 
property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would 
be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back 
to his house from another part of his property.

If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let me 
know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the person, I’d 
appreciate that as well.

automatically from the app store. I think there is somewhere else that I
need to turn automatic updates off, but I can't remember where that is and
can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated. I've found a few

broken. Again, thanks for everyone's help with all of our questions.

Swipe to code scanner then reorder code scanner button Voice Over  announces 
double tap and hold wait for sound then drag to rearrange.

Did not double tap but swiped more controls is heading with many options.

It states insert Apple TV remote.  I am using Spectrum TV remote.

Next time I hear scan QR code on TV I’ll open camera and swipe to QR code.  

Or maybe take a photo and hope QR code is on photo.  

I usually watch TV on TV in bedroom.  However, I have Spectrum TV on phone.  

Open Spectrum TV on phone set to CNBC the host is talking wait for commercial

I’ll try a photo later today.

Best option is to make sure "Code Scanner" is added to your control panel, you 
can check in Settings > Control Panel and if it si not in your list you can add 
it.

Then swipe down from the top to bring up Control Centre, tap Code Scanner and 
point your rear camera towards the QR code. You typically don't have to be 
super close, once the camera sees it it will get recognized, there is nothing 
you have to do.

The article says a label is attached to the bottom of the pill bottle. The 
reader is made by En-Vision America. Also, when the medications reminder 
feature of the current IOS was released, I read that it reads a specialized bar 
code on the bottle that has some information. I tried to get my iPhone to read 
this code but did not have any luck and just put my one medication reminder in 
manually. Did anybody have success with scanning their bottles into the health

RE: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all. Interesting thread. When using the onscreen keyboard I primarily use my 
right index finger. I also use M Braille or dictation. I make myself use the 
onscreen keyboard for short messages just to keep in practice. 
God bless!

Subject: When It Comes to iPhone, Are You All Thumbs?

Hello All,

A friend of mine and I got into a discussion about how we type in iOS, when 
sending text messages.

It started when she asked me if I use my thumbs to type.  Even though I know 
that a great many people use their thumbs to enter text on iPhone, personally I 
find the technique slow and awkward.

How do I enter text in iOS?

First, I keep my VoiceOver typing mode set to "Touch Typing."

Second, I use a folio case.  Not only does such a case cover the display when 
not in use, it also provides a nifty way to balance the phone in one hand, 
fingers-free.

When entering text, I open the case, kind of like a book, with the wallet side 
to the left and the phone to the right.  I position the phone case in the crook 
of my left hand (where the base of my thumb meets my hand) so that the back of 
the phone, in the case of course, is resting against the palm of my left hand, 
leaving all five digits on my left hand, free.  

The wallet side of the case acts as a kind of counter balance so that the phone 
does not slip out of my hand, even when the phone is tilted, off-axis, so to 
speak.

I use my left thumb to access the letters and numbers, located on the left side 
of the onscreen keyboard and the index finger of my right hand, to access the 
letters and numbers located on the right side of the onscreen keyboard.

I hold the phone in the exact same way when using Slide-to-Type; except in that 
instance, I use my right index finger, only.

Okay, that's my method for entering text on iPhone.  

How about you?  What technique do you use to enter text in iOS?

When it come to iPhone, are you all thumbs? (smile).

Mark

Hi all. I have a friend who just got an iphone 12. She's having difficulty

accessible free cell game

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all. I really enjoy playing free cell using the blind fold games suite.
However, I'm having increasing problems being thrown out of the game while
I'm playing. It's getting frustrating. Does anyone know of an accessible
free cell game that actually works, or a fix for the blind fold suite?
Thanks. Just board on Christmas Eve with church and all other activities
cancelled due to bad weather.

Thanks in advance.

God bless!

RE: Iphone 16.2

[Paula Jordan]

Yes, close apps out pretty much every day.
I have been in contact with apple accessibility and they can't figure out 
what’s going on either. I called them using my land line while the phone was 
frozen. We did screen sharing so they could see what was going on. If I 
remember right the phone worked when voice over was turned off. We’ve tried 
re-setting all settings, deleting and re-installing the 16.1 update from my 
computer using itunes, and I can't even remember what else we’ve done over the 
last month. I really hate to purchase another phone and I worry about 
transferring the problem from icloud to a new device. Thanks for listening.
God bless!

Iphone 16.2

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all just a curiosity question. Does anyone have any idea when 16.2 will
be released. I'm having a very strange problem with my iphone 13 mini and
hoping that 16.2 will fix it. At least once a day my phone will completely
freeze up. I can't find any thing that consistently happens just before it
freezes. I've talked with apple accessibility several times. We've tried
various things including completely reinstalling 16.1 update using Itunes
from my computer. Nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do is to shut
the phone down and re-start. It'll work normally for a while until it
doesn't again. I'm hoping that a major update will solve the problem. Very
very strange! If any one has heard of this or has a thought about a fix, I'm
open to trying. 

God bless!

some rather disturbing problems, so I'm not sure if it's my phone or if
there is some sort of glitch with the server or the app. Just curious.

Thanks.

God bless!

previous email

[Paula Jordan]

Hi all. Just FYI, I contacted Apple Support about a different issue and as
we worked through the issue, we discovered that the update was corrupted.
They helped me update my phone using ITunes, and now everything works as
expected. I can use Hey Siri, turn off haptics etc. Thanks for all the
information you give.

God bless!

questions about haptics and hey siri

[Paula Jordan]

Hi everyone. I am asking about two very unrelated questions, but thought it
might be easier in one email message. I had to reset all settings. Now I
can't get rid of the haptics vibration. I went into sounds and haptics and
tried to disable them but I still feel that annoying heavy vibration. I'd
like to get rid of that. 

 

Also, for some reason I can't get hey siri to work. I'VE looked at siri in
"siri and settings as well as siri under accessibility. That says listen for
hey siri on, but when I say "hey siri" nothing happens. Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.

God bless!

RE: further questions about wifi calling

[Paula Jordan]

Hi Sieghard and all. Thanks for the info. I did finally get Wi-Fi calling set

a look. However, I can’t find it anywhere in settings. Any help would be 
appreciated. Thanks.

Do you maybe have screen recognition turned on? I already have my Wi-Fi calling 
set up, but I didn't have any issues and just now I went to change my emergency 
address and while I had a submit button at the bottom, there was nothing about 
any checkboxes and so on.

If you still can't figure it out why don't you call Apple Accessibility and ask 
if they could look at your screen as you are doing this and they can probably 
give you some guidance.

iphone not unlocking

[Paula Jordan]

Hi everyone. I'm having a new issue since my 16.1 update. I do not have face
ID or a passcode set up. I unlock my phone and swipe up to get to my home
screen, but, in spite of the fact that I get the expected sounds, my phone
stays stuck on the screen that gives the notifications, time, date, camera
and flash light status. After swiping up a few times, locking my phone and
unlocking it, I still can't get to the home screen. This has happened twice
since last night. Is this a bug or is it my phone being flakey? I haven't
yet done a re-set all settings. That's the next thing I can think to try.
Any thoughts?

God bless!

I can still get to the list of events for today. It’s right after the list of 
the days of the month, so you can get to it by just touching the bottom of the

of the days of the month then you’ll have the list of events for that day at

Subject: native calendar app

 

Hi all. I just updated to IOS 16.03. In my native calendar app I used to be 
able to read my calendar appointments by simply flicking right and the phone 
would announce the date, time and title of each appointment. Now I can only get 
it to say “one event” or how ever many events there are on each day. Is this a 
change or can I change a setting somewhere to get it to behave the way it used 
to? Thanks. I’m very grateful for this list.

God bless!

If they are movable, flicking up or down gets you to the option, move up, etc., 
then double tap.

I had to do one more step.
I flicked up to remove, but when I was done, they were all still there.
I went back and found that after removing them again, I found them in the list 
after the word favorites, and then when flicking up, the option was delete.
That took care of it.

Other than Photos and Store, if you want more than just Audio there, you can 
also move them up and down in the list to put the things you use most closer to 
the beginning of the list.

Hi all,
If you are one that uses the audio message feature daily, I would highly 
recommend that you manage the messaging apps. You can remove all the clutter by 
removing the apps that you don’t need and then it won’t be a big deal to leave 
the apps expanded. Follow these instructions to remove apps:
One. Open messages app.
Two. Access one of your context conversations.
Three. Expand apps, if it’s not already.
Four. Scroll through all the apps, until you find more and activate it.
Five. Here, you can swipe up and delete the apps that you don’t need to have in 
this section.

Note: you cannot delete photos and store, but you can remove the rest to 
minimize clutter. This will not delete apps from your phone, simply removes 
these messaging appS from being in the way. You can always add them later by 
following the above steps.
Hope that helps
Feliciano

RE: Thoughts on Brailliant?

Hi Brandon.  I have had a BI20X for over a year.  I like it very much.  I use 
it for church since they email me the order of worship.  I copy it onto the 
unit and use it during the service.  I'm very satisfied with it, and they 
continue to work out some of the bugs with updates.  If I remember the 
BrailleNote commands correctly, there's a lot of similarity.  HTH.

Also I’ve found that if you slide the card with your pointer finger and point

Yes, sometimes the card doesn't move; but a couple retries and it moves just 
fine for me.

The double tap and hold then drag without breaking contact with the screen is 
the gesture.

The game is by Bitpress.

I played Kings corner for quite some time but had the same problem that I’m 
having now. When I go to play a card and I double tap on it and hold it and 
move it to drop it it doesn’t drop under card that I want to put it on. Is 
there a workaround for this? Is it a double tap and hold? Do I have the right 
game? I saw a lot of different ones but I chose to download, I should say 
re-download, the one that I had before. I really like the game, but I’m really 
frustrated with not being able to move the cards properly. Thanks for any help

In Kings corner you play against the computer and can set different 

levels, easy-difficult.

It begins with in a square formation card spots and each corner is empty 
awaiting a king.

The spots in between the corners are played much as you do in basic solitaire, 
alternating red and black, adding these piles to the corners when they fit the 
next spot on pile, once a king is down.

Objective of using up your cards, of which you get a new one each round across 
the bottom of the screen.

Hello Les,

By financial software, I was referring to my banking apps, my utility provider

I do not use any third-party finance management apps.

Subject: From Mark to the List, Just a General Apple Accessibility Gravity 
Check-in

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to check in with everyone and wish you all a happy Apple 
accessibility summer.  I cannot believe that August 2022 is already underway.

You know, it's kind of funny, I use my Apple devices more and more and yet I 
have less and less to say about them as they continue to get better and better. 
 (smile)

A few things that I have been intending to post but have not:

1.
In addition to my wired EarPods, I now use both AirPods, third gen, and Airpods 
Pro, on a regular basis.  While I would have to say that my Airpods Pro offer 
better sound quality, I like the Airpods third gen, because they offer an 
easier / lighter listening experience.  I know that sounds crazy but, for me, 
it is true.

2.
My poor old 8 Plus is truly on its last legs.  The lightening port can no 
longer hold a cable, unassisted.  This is to say, in order for me to keep a 
cable inserted, the phone must be on a horizontal plain or the cable will fall 
out.  I do use a wireless charger with it but .  I am going to try to make it 
last until the next iPhone release which, hopefully, will offer some form of 
touch ID.  However, If touch ID is not included in the next release I will 
either purchase the biggest best new phone or I will get an S E.  One way or 
another, my beloved 8 Plus is on its way out (smile.)

3.
My iPad 10.5 2017 is going strong; it runs like a champ. However, I am 
definitely going to get a new MacBook Pro after I purchase my next iPhone.
I have a MacBook Air, M1, in the house but I really don't like the fact that it 
automatically powers on at the touch of any key. This is quite annoying.

4.
As for software?  I find that I am using fewer and fewer apps.  I am not sure 
why.  

All of the apps that allow me to easily manage my finances continue to be my 
favorite apps, of course.  However the Amazon apps continue to be at the top of 
my must have list.  I noticed some kind of a glitch between VoiceOver and Alexa 
on an iPhone 11, the other day.  Interesting as this glitch does not occur on 
my beloved 8 Plus.  My solution?  Delete and then reinstall the Alexa app.  

Pill Reminder, My Chart, CA Lottery, and Yelp also head-up my favorite apps 
list, these days.  Of course, I am omitting all of the native Apple apps as 
their significance to my accessible life is unparalleled 

While I continue to be a big fan of Twitter, for some reason, the app, and the 
service itself, for that matter, feel less streamline and unencumbered, these 
days.  Just my opinion, of course.

Uber, Lift, and Insta Cart are amazing, as always.   

And of course, all of the book reading apps remain dear to my heart.  

While I would love to list some games that I enjoy on either iOS or iPad OS, 
alas, I cannot.  I do not know of any onboard (not requiring an internet
connection) VoiceOver accessible card games and / or board games; a sad 
reality, to be sure.

All replies to this post are welcome and, in fact, greatly appreciated.

I hope this finds you all happy and well.

Mark

Hi all. Since this last update I've noticed that I need to pair my iphone 13

have headphones and speakers paired also. Maybe I just have too many things

RE: Playing with the camera app

[Paula Jordan]

This really sounds cool, but I'm having a hard time getting it to work.  I 
flick to view finder and it occasionally will say what is near, but, for 
example, if I hold a dollar bill up it may say "currency" after a bit.   As I 
walk around the room it may say "curtain and glass door"  but I can't figure 
out how to hold or point it to make it more consistent.  Any thoughts.
Thanks.

You open the camera app and then you move VoiceOver focus to the view finder, 
which is at the top of the screen. As long as the view finder has VoiceOver's 
focus, you'll hear descriptions of whatever's in the view finder, such as 
object recognition, text and apparently currency identification as well.

This is probably old news to everyone, but I just stumbled across 
something, and I’m so excited, I want to share. This is how clueless I am, but 
I was looking for a screen recording I’d just done, and not knowing where else 
to look, I brought up the camera app. While I was exploring the camera app, I 
heard it announcing things like no people, keyboard, … I realized it was 
telling me what was on my desk! After playing around, I found out that if you 
move focus to the top to the view finder, the camera app will read text to you 
and identify objects. I ran downstairs to show my wife, and I heard it say “cat 
on a flat surface with a laptop and a glass with a beverage”. I was pointing it 
at my kitchen table which had our cat on it, waiting to be fed, my wife’s 
laptop and her glass of sparkling water! It’s not going to replace the Seeing 
AI app for me yet, but it seemed awfully fast and accurate!

I like King's Corner. It is a solitaire game.

You can look up the rules on Wikipedia if you don't know it. The basics are 
with this accessible version, you double tap and hold on the card you want to 
move and slide it to the place you want to drop it and lift your finger.

Kings go in the corners, and you build down from their with alternating suits, 
as well as building down on the 4 cards in the middle of the sides.

Here is the link. I think it may be 99¢.

an accessible euchre game

[Paula Jordan]

Hi.  Does anyone know of an accessible euchre game?  I've tried Ears euchre
from the blindfold games series, but it keeps throwing me out.  Just
curious.  Enjoy the game and would like to play it on my phone. Thanks.

God bless!

Hi all.  The subject says it all.  I'm looking for information about how to
set up a group text using voice-over and siri.  I can't remember the website
for apple accessibility for some reason, so would appreciate the website
info and/or a description of how to set up a group text.  Thanks much.

I’m thrilled I can still use nearby explorer. Thanks for the info. I also have

As far as I understand, if you had purchased Nearby Explorer, you should still 
be able to download it to your phone even though it isn't currently offered in 
the App Store. You have to go into your account in the App Store and look under 
the purchased tab and you should see it there and it should offer you the 
ability to re-download it. I agree 100% that nearby explorer is the best GPS 
app out there and I will keep using it as long as it works. Hope that helps.

RE: New iPhone without tactile home button.

[Paula Jordan]

When I tried it I had blue tooth turned on in my hearing aids for phone calls. 
The beeping sound came from my phone, not in my ears. I’ll continue to play 
with it. I do tend to forget where I laid my phone, so I’ll have plenty of 
chances to see if this is really true.
God bless!

You can also go into Settings, Siri and search and turn on Listen for hey Siri

RE: the today screen again

[Paula Jordan]

That makes sense, but no matter what I do I don’t find the edit button. If I 
flick right this morning I end up at Mail, which is an app I’ve used today. The 
phone simply goes “bonk.” I’ve tried both flicking right and a four-finger 
single tap near the bottom of the screen. Nie gesture gets to any kind of an 
edit field. I have tried re-booting my phone but nothing changes.

Maybe I should call Apple Accessibility. Thanks anyway. I do understand how it 
should work, but it doesn’t.

God bless!

Your problem is that  you are going  into Edit mode in the search field and at 
that point a 4-finger single tap on the bottonm half of the screen will take 
you to the last element on the screen which would be the dictate button on the 
keyboard.

 

Don't double tap on that search field, just go to the Today View and do a 
4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen or just continue to flick right 
until you get to the very bottom and you find the Edit d button I mentioned. 
Now double tap, then go again to the very end by flicking right a lot or again 
use the 4-finger tap and you find the customize button.

Once you activate customize you get to choose from all the options and you can 
add items to the Today View, remove others which are already there if you don't 
want them and reorder what is showing the way you want.

 

Best regards,

Sieghard

Hi Richard and all.  Still having issues with the today screen.  From the home 
screen I flick down with one finger to get to the showing today view.  It puts 
me on a search text field.  There is an edit field there.   If I double tap  
edit it brings up a keyboard. It also shows a few other things.  I stayed in 
that edit field and did a 4-finger single tap which took me to the dictate 
field. That’s obviously not what I wanted, so I tried again doing as you 
suggested.  When I do a 4-finger single tap at the bottom of the screen I hear 
“screen time, pyramid 13 4 minutes.”  I tried flicking right with no results.  
Just for fun I tried flicking left. I hear all the apps I’ve used today with 
the number of minutes I used each one.  I do eventually see my photos app, 
hearing aid batteries charge, and iphone 13 mini and it’s battery charge. I 
really want to move my apple news and my weather widget to the today view.  I 
am running IOS 15.2 on my 13 mini. This is getting personal and I refuse to be 
defeated by this cute little phone.  Sorry for the continued questions.  It’s 
probably something very basic I’m missing. If you think this is not appropriate

You probably could get a better explanation of the Today screen on Apple's 
site; but I think of it as a place to store widgets you don't want taking up 
home screen space.

Once you are on the Today screen, a 4 finger tap at the bottom should put you 
on an edit button.

If it doesn't, try flicking right until you land on an actual edit button. 
Double tap.

Then, do the 4 finger tap at the bottom again, and you should find a Customize 
button, double tap.

Now you should be on a screen where you will flick to the right through any 
existing widgets, then get into a list of Widgets you can add.

The home screen is page 1, the "Today View" as it is called now is just that, 
the Today view, it's not page 1 or page 0, but it is where it always has been, 
to the left of home screen 1.
You can get there either by doing a 3-finger swipe from left to right on Home 
Screen one or go to the item picker just above the dock and if you are on page 
1 do a 1-finger swipe down.

Here is what I find is the easiest way:

1. Go to the Today Screen

2. Do a 4-finger tap near the bottom edge of the screen which puts focus on 
the last element on the screen, in this case it is the Edit button

3. Double tap on the Edit button

4. Do another 4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen and focus again 
goes to the last element on the screen, after you enable Edit this will be 
the Customize buton

5. Double tap the Customize button and then have fun going through all the 
dozens of things you can pick from.

RE: an Instacart question

[Paula Jordan]

Hi. I don’t use the chat feature on Instacart at all. I have them text me and 
we text back and forth. I can’t remember what I did to set that up though. I 
still have to explain each time I order that I am blind and can’t see the 
photos they send when they want to replace an item, but once I explain I get a 
text describing the item. It’s a little cumbersome, but it works.

God bless!

Hi,

Yes I've noticed this along with the fact that now you can't always read the 
replacement item a shopper has picked during shopping or when rating an order. 
I too used to report things that broke in relation to accessibility only to see 
them fixed in short order. However, this is no longer the case. I've been 
complaining about the replacement thing for a good 4 months to no avail.

I've tried tweeting at them politely to perhaps reach someone directly 
responsible for app design to no avail.

Sorry I haven't better news but you definitely have company in misery.

Take good care.

Robin

impossible.

 

As far as responsiveness goes, yes, sad, but true.  A few months ago I gave 
them a poor review specifically due to the deteriorating accessibility.  
Ironically, one of the issues I mentioned, that of the correct number of stars 
being spoken when rating a delivery experience was corrected soon after that 
review.  I would like to think that tiny review had something to do with it, 
but I'm probably deluding myself.

I have been using the Instacart app for more than two years with a great deal 
of success. However, in the last five months I notice that, when chatting with 
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.

 

 

Best Regards,
