Re: Pre-paid data plan for iPhone in Germany?

2016-10-22 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 
Hello,

Since your wife can speak German, following is a great resource for all 
infamiliar with the crazy prepaid system there -yes, nearly every supermarket 
chain has a carrier, there are offers for people coming from foreign countries 
etc.

www.prepaid-wiki.de

If internet access is all she's asking for, Alditalk would be the best option 
as you can get 5 gb. of data for nearly €15. It seems impossible to get more 
than 5 gb while on prepaid. You can get Alditalk sims and refill cards at every 
Aldi supermarket - they are to be found just about everywhere.

There are also offers focused on international calling - not sure if they cover 
the US.

I'm using Lebara where for €30 I've got 1000 minutes to the EU and 3 gb of data 
or 500 minutes and 5 gb. There are other offers like Blauworld or Lyca Mobile 
too. You've got to research on the website above.

Safe travels and a well-spent time.

kind regards

Paweł

  Subject: Pre-paid data plan for iPhone in Germany?


  Hello list,

  So my better half will be visiting the in-laws later this year. She’s going 
to be in Germany for roughly four weeks and will be taking her unlocked GSm 
iPhone. I was wondering if any of  the international  travelers or possibly 
German  based members of this list can recommend a pre-paid cellular plan that 
she can use while she’s over there? 

  Having the local number or the need to activate in German is no big deal for 
her since she’s from Germany, but as we’re not terribly familiar with cell 
plans, thus my question. 

  Calls/texts aren’t that much of a concern since there are options like 
Facetime, iMessages, Skype/Hangouts and  so on. It’s really more the data plans 
that she’s interested  in.

  Any input would be appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Hello all, 
  We have an audio conference program about accessibility on our private 
TeamTalk server. This program is generally in Turkish language however, Harri 
Pasanen, creator of legendary Braille program MBraille will be our guest this 
week, on 21st of May. Therefore, we thought people who can speak english can 
also join the program and ask questions or make suggestions to Harri. The 
program will be in Turkish but everything will be translated for Harri to 
understand and answer. Thus, we'd like to invite blind people all over the 
world to join us and ask questions about MBraille on iOS and Android. The 
program will be at 21:00 (9 PM) by Turkish time. For those who wish to join may 
contact me to solve the time zone problems and installing TeamTalk and joining 
the channel.

Re: A little explaining requested plus a rant about Loadstone was Re: Loadstone GPS: a campaign to get an accessible GPS app started on iOS

2015-10-12 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 
Hello everyone,

Thanks for the replies and explanations.

Krister, as far as I remember you're right, except local communities of users 
have created databases for a lot of areas of the world by converting the data 
of already existing projects, E.G. in Poland UMP (the Universal Map of Poland) 
was used for this purpose.

Someone on a Polish mailing list raised a point that Loadstone let you simply 
open the app and there you were with all your favourites loaded and time-based 
announcements on. Apparently Seeing Assistant Move is close to that approach 
but it requires some clicking and setup before you're ready to go.

Also Loadstone can give you some extra GPS info if you're geeky about that.

In any case this would be another GPS nav provided by people that were on the 
market before the touch era and their take at the app in this new world could 
be an interesting perspective.

kind regards

  Hey,
  As i understand it and i could very well be wrong, thus my request for 
explanation, Loadstone has no maps or such by default, the user has to create 
the maps themselves. If so this is a great showstopper for me. I don’t want to 
draw the maps for the orientation tool to then follow because i as a totally 
blind person am unable to do that. All i want is to be informed of eventual 
POIs, intersections, get turn-by-turn instructions etc rather like gps apps are 
supposed to do. Recording alternate routes to those suggested by the gps app is 
a plus, but creating a whole map myself, no way Jose. In certain areas of the 
world such as the U.s or the UK there may be readymade maps but i doubt there 
are ready made maps for this little Swedish town i live in, that’s why i and 
Loadstone like apps aren’t friends but as i say if i have misunderstood 
something then feel free to tell me.

MapQuest allows you to add stops to a route.
Put in your destination, then find the Add Stop button, which says “pi add 
stop” as it must have the “pi” symbol as part of the button label.
Then, put in your next destination and Mapquest will sort them by distance, 
but you can drag them to a different order if you wish.
Then, double tap on Walking or 
Driving and then hit the Start button.
There is also a list button so you can get step by step instructions on the 
screen as well as spoken.

This is probably primarily a United States and possibly Canada app.  I’ve 
not heard if it is used elsewhere.

But, these are based on locations ahead of time.  It sounds like My Way 
Classic allows you to drop points as you go so you can do that same route later.

  Hi Paul,

   

  Do you have any details about this? I followed your link to the GoFundMe 
website, but apart from the fact that they are looking to raise $2,000 and have 
raised $65 in the last 13 days there is no other information. I would have 
questions like this:

   

  Is there an ending date by which the $2,000 have to be raised

  If so and they are not reaching the $2,000 what happens to the donations that 
were made

  If they do reach the $2,000, when do they expect to have this app ready?

  How much do they think the app would cost and would it be a one-time purchase 
or would they require a subscription like Seeing-Eye GPS to keep it going?

   

  I guess they are joining the iPhone bandwagon pretty late and it would be 
interesting to know how they think they can differentiate themselves from the 
Seeing-Eye GPS app which now has become much more complete since one can now 
have user POI’s. Then there is of course Blindsquare which does a very nice job 
for telling you where you are and really only lacks more detailed intersection 
information (probably something the will be added at some point) and 
turn-by-turn directions which to many users aren’t as important as getting 
feedback as to where one is one more familiar routes. Lastly of course there 
are apps like Apple Maps and Google Maps which are becoming more and more user 
friendly for visually impaired users as time goes by and which in connection 
with an app like Blindsquare offer a pretty good solution. One big point in 
favour of them of course is that we all know support for them will not go away 
or that the product becomes less useful because the developer runs out of money 
and can’t provide map or app updates.

Re: Problems using onscreen Braille keyboard

2014-09-27 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 

Hello guys!

I've discovered that keeping your fingers together withno finger being 
longer than any other - the natural position of your middle finger 
enforces that - the dots should be alright. You can type with your 
fingers in their natural positions, but for calibration keep them this 
way for a brief moment. I think for some reason the system gets the 
fingers confused. Also: have you tried the Perkins-like mode where all 
the dots are placed on one side of the screen, the fingers of your right 
hand are closer to the earpiece and the left hand towards the home 
button. I find it quite comfortable as well and this is where you need 
to calibrate,I mean you need to do that if you want to get this effect.

The gesture for explore mode is not a double tap and hold, you simply place

Hello guys!

I was trying this feature out on an iPhone 5.

I've discovered that when I calibrate the dot positions, it often 
happens that the 456 dots cell changes the dots positions in a rather 
uncontrollable manner. Sometimes dots 4 and 6 are turned round, 
sometimes it is dots 5 and 4 that change their positions.This makes it 
rather hard to type on it reliably.Has anyone found a way around 
this?\I've also noticed that it works best when you hold it with the 
home button to the right.

recognized is the gesture to change the rotor setting. Is anyone 
else experiencing this?


I am an experienced MBraille user, and MBraille is still working 
reliably for me, so I don't think it's me or the hardware in my 
phone. Thoughts appreciated.

Re: spotify and offline mode

2014-04-27 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 

Hello,

Maybe somehow the offline mode got switched on.

Go to settings and uncheck the appropriate checkbox.

I'm honestly not sure how accessible it is now on iOS as I moved over to 
Android and am getting information from various sources that with the 
latets update the accessibility has got worse.


Therefore, I wish you good luck.

regards

Hi all.

I am having a little problem with spotify. When I use this app, is 
saying that I am on offline mode, even though I am getting access to 
WiFi, and everything is working fine with my phone. Why spotify is 
saying this, and it doesn’t let me search and play any thing?


Thanks!

Re: SpellStack Player's Guide

2014-01-18 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 

Hello.
I have downloaded Spelstack, tried to play a game, read the tutorial and 
I still don't understand one thing.

When is my turn supposed to end?
I have built a three-letter word vertically when it was my turn and 
nothing happened.Is there any button I should click to submit my move or 
is it supposed to end the turn for me?
Also one question to the developers: would it be hard and is it planned 
at all, to introduce support for dictionaries of other languages so 
multilingual people could play in different languages?


Spellstack looks like a fun game to fill the gab on Android where my 
favourite to time, Hanging With Friends, is lacking accessibility support.


Have a nice day.

Best regards
Paweł

Re: Facebook question

2013-12-15 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 

Hello Marianne!
What you mean is you want to tag one of your friends in a random place 
of your post, likeI've met up with John Smith this morning and we 
decided to go for lunch after work?
Now this is not gonna be  a strictly iOS suggestion although I believe 
it would work there:
Whenever you want to place a tag for some friend, put the following 
string in your post:

@[id:name]
ID is the random bunch of numbers that each Facebook profile has as one 
of the usernames.

You can find out the one your friend has by going to
http://graph.facebook.com/username
name is the full name of your friend as he/she put it in his/her FB profile.
so for example @[123456789:John Smith] will tag someone called John 
Smith who happens to have such ID.
Now for some iOS advice: the original Facebook app can do that just 
fine. Whenever you want to tag somebody insert the @ (at) sign and start 
typing your friend's name. Suggestions will pop up above the edit field 
with your post and you'll be able to pick one.

I'm sorry if it's not what you wanted to know.
HTH

Facebook Messenger: custom in-app sounds

2013-11-17 Thread Paweł Masarczyk 

Hello list!
According to the changelog of the latest FB Messenger update, custom 
in-app sounds are offered.
Where do I go about changing them and does it mean that custom sound 
files can be imported via lets'say iTunes file sharing and used as 
notification sounds?
I've searched all over the app, or at least I think so, and can't find 
anything, while I've seen feedback of people who managed to give this 
portion of the new update a shot.

Thanks in advance.
Looking forward to your reply.
best regards
Paweł

I hesitate to use the word best since I know how relative such terms

I don't need any bells and whistles. I just want the app to be

Thanks for any recommendations.

The Focus 14 is not supported in iOS 5.1.1. V. 6.0 was the first to

the 14.
