Re: iTunes Radio

2013-09-28 Thread Penny Golden
Thanks for such a fun experience-letter. My own tastes must not cost as much. I 
bought A horse Named Bill, sung by the poet Carl Sandburg. Fifty cents. I was 
tired of trying to find it, even though I was fairly sure I had one somewhere. 
Then I looked at some violin piece played by Rachel Barton Pine of Chicago. It 
was only 89 cents, but I didn't buy it. I checbed yet another classical piece 
which was 99 cents. But yesterday I got a couple beautiful violin Cd's. One was 
one cent and another 2 cents, but each had 4 dollars shipping. 
Now I know why I could not get to iTunes radio. It is in the music part, not in 
iTunes proper. Is that right? Because, for the last few tries, I could not get 
to my opera channel. And I had had such fun voting for what I liked and 
occasionally saying: Never play this again. Why, it is so very arbitry. And so 
much fun. But when I went to iTunes, my genre stations were not being found. So 
you've showed me where they are. 
I'd better stop. More another time.

Subject: iTunes Radio



 Hi All,
  
 I finally got around to playing with iTunes radio which is in the music 
 folder of ios 7. With this cold holding on for over a week, I've spent a lot 
 of time laying around doing not much of anything so I thought this would be a 
 good time to give it a test drive.  I should also say that I'm not much of a 
 radio fan.  I don't like other folks selecting what sort of music I listen 
 to.  Apparently with this app all you need to do is to enter into the text 
 entry field, the name of a song, an album, or an artist.  So, I typed in The 
 Eagles  iTunes radio came back and offered me Eagles Radio  Wow! I thought 
 that meant that I would hear one Eagles tune after another but instead, I get 
 great songs that go together.  I suppose there are other music apps and 
 services out there but I see what their doing here.  They played a song by 
 The-Nitty-Gritty-Dirt-Band called An American Dream which I hadn't heard in 
 some time and I decided to add it to my collection.  Wow again! a buck twenty
  nine USAID.  You could go to the poor house buying songs 1 at a time.  I 
wonder if there is anything like ten songs of your choosing for an album price. 
 Sense I have no experience with these kinds of deals, if anybody can give me 
any kind of a quick look over I'd appreciate it.

Re: iTunes Radio

2013-09-28 Thread Penny Golden


well, that is not quite accurate. because I did not create the opera 
station, nor the one for medieval and renaissance; but it allows me to 
thumbs-up or vote for a track; play more like this. and it also tells me 
to vote never play this again, if I want to.  of course, I don't know 
if that will really be taken into consideration, but these were stations 
that already existed.

So my experience is a bit different from yours.

yourself, either by specifying an artist/song or using one of the

Re: How to shuffle in iTunes radio

2013-09-27 Thread Penny Golden


there may be a way to have a couple of genres running at the same time.  
I was enamored of their opera channel, and they sure won't let me get 
there anymore, somehow.
but it's all right.  iTunes is only 1 strand of my iPod radio.  I paid 
to join calm radio on the PC which never did work for me, but it is 
wonderful for a blind user on the iPod; but expensive.  Well, I think it 
is.

But it has lots of sub-categories in the classical genre.
Okay, this ramble has reached a conclusion.  And I hope to hear about an 
inexpensive football source. I put one in, which was free, but the  
choices did not speak; it was a shame, for it started out speaking. 
There was an A section with the NFL teams whose names began with A; B 
for the B's, etc.
After I had selected the Chicago Bears, there were 2 stations.  Well, i 
picked the first one and it started playing hard-rock, for, of course, 
there was no game then.  But I could hardly turn that off and get back 
out to the menu with the A B C's.
So I just deleted the app.  Isn't that the way to do it--if at first you 
don't succeed, give up?

Grin.

As some of you may know, some people are having speaker distortion on
the iPhone 5s and 5c.
Have any of you  had the distortion?
This occurs when the speaker is turned up to full volume or when
playing a song at full volume.
Voice over is distorted.
I am asking because I am considering a iPhone 5s.
Thanks

turning on a device from completely off

2013-09-25 Thread Penny Golden
Someone brought up today that she or he hated to power down because 
it is impossible to tell how long to hold the button when powering back 
on.  I totally agree.  Someone told us that you should empty the app 
switcher before powering down.  For a full switcher makes the start-up 
longer.

Well, I was trying to power back on after the iOS 7 had updated itself.
I dcouldn't get it and I couldn't get it. Well, I thought, let's put 
this beast on the power supply.  It was actually a docking station.  
When I did that and held the button, I do believe that I heard something 
that let me know that we had power.
If they give you a light, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they gave the 
slightest beep too!

Yes, it should have turned itself back on; but somehow it didn't. i 
don't know why; but it hasn't been off since. thanks for all the input.

As for the distortion, it's sad that it's there, but I can work around it.

When turning the phone back on hold the power button for about four
seconds and it will power back up. It takes a few seconds.

Re: turning on a device from completely off

2013-09-25 Thread Penny Golden


Just to clarify:
I did have it plugged in with the upgrade.  I must have waited forever 
because I went away and when I came back the phone had upgraded but was off.

sorry, it's an iPod.
It's that not knowing that is the trouble.  Sure, it turns on, but you 
wait 30 seconds.  And while you're doing that wait for 30 seconds you 
say to yourself: but did I actually get the thing turned on?

Now I'm shutting up. and shutting down.
All the best, and pardon my excessive mailing.

Hi Penny,

AS John said, if you update over the air, eventually Voiceover should have
come on by itself, you may not have waited long enough. Having said this, it
is always best practice to empty the app switcher and doing a restart of the
phone before doing an upgrade and it is not a bad idea to have the phone
plugged in when you do an iOS  upgrade. If there is lots of juice left it
shouldn't be a problem, but maybe you forgot that you only had 15% left. If
that happens and you start an upgrade and half way through the phone dies it
is probably not a good thing.
The lack of any sort of feedback during part of the over the air upgrade
process is the reason why I simply prefer to update via iTunes, at least I
get to hear the various USB disconnect and connect sounds as well as check
on the status of the update with Jaws.

if I do a restart because I think something isn't working right, I always
empty the app switcher as well. Keep in mind that if your phone is turned
off and you plug in the cable it will turn itself on automatically after the
normal boot time.

Lastly, if you do turn your phone off it does probably not hurt a bit to
hold the power button down for 4 or 5 seconds as many here pointed out, but
it also isn't necessary. Push the button and hold it for a second or so,
think one one thousand if you like as you push it, then let it go. Your
phone will boot up and depending on the model at the end of 20 to 30 seconds
you will hear Voiceover come on.

Sieghard

Re: Siri

That is very odd.  I use the british accent, and siri understands my 
american speech.  I don't doubt what you're saying, Jonathan, but my own 
experience has not mirrored it; however, maybe British accents would 
confuse an American Siri more than American accents would confuse a 
British Siri.  Now I'm clearing out of here before something dreadful 
happens.

I have not had the courage to upgrade, by the way.
I know I'd like the new operating system, but, well, I'm afraid of 
getting stuck somewhere in the upgrade process.

 Hi Ed, 
  
 When using standard typing, you have to double tap on each letter before it 
 is selected or printed on the screen.   Touch typing involves sliding your 
 finger over the letters on the keyboard. When you hear the letter you want, 
 lift your finger and that letter is activated or printed. selected. You can 
 try both modes by double tapping on an edit box and selecting typing mode in 
 the rotor.  BTW when the I phone first came out, standard typing was the only 
 option available. 
  
 Good luck,

Re: Compass directions 101, was: getting the most out of Blind square

2013-08-05 Thread Penny Golden


You know, I thought that Blind Square was 15 dollars. I find it's 23 or 
perhaps 24.  Perhaps one day it will go back on sale and then I'll try 
to get it.
I can afford it, but I just don't do enough traveling to make it a 
necessity; it would be fun to play with; so I'll wait to perhaps a sale.

Thanks for the compass readings.  You're nothing if you're not thorough!
Thanks so much.

On 8/5/2013 11:15 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote:

Hello Penny, Krister and List,

OK, so I just did some experimenting with the compass and how you can hold
your phone to get the correct reading. If I want directions I actually use
an app called Voice Compass rather than the stock Compass app. Voice Compass
has it's own male voice which is of very good quality, actually I'd say it's
a human voice which plays wave files or whatever since all it has to say is
North, East, South, West and the ones in between like Northwest, Southeast
etc. That's only 8 pieces of information so it would be easy to do. The app
does also display the actual degrees on the screen so if you want more
accuracy than North or Northeast than you can check the screen. If anybody
wants to check out Voice Compass, here is the link, it is 99 Cents:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/a+-voice-compass/id320952364?mt=8

Anyhow, back to directions and how to hold the phone. I know my living room
window points due east, so here it goes:

If I hold my iPhone flat in my hand with the top edge where the headphone
jack is against the window, Voice Compass correctly says East.
If I flip the iPhone around and hold the bottom edge with the charging port
against the window I do, not surprisingly, get the announcement West.

Now, if I hold the iPhone vertically, but still with the top edge against
the window, I still get East.
It doesn't matter if the touch screen is facing to the left (9 o'clock) or
to the right (3 o'clock) as long as the phone's top is pointing the right
way.
Once again, if I hold the phone vertically but flip it so the bottom edge is
against the window, I get the West announcement.

Now, holding the phone vertically in front of me which means I am holding
the entire back of the phone where the camera lens is flat against the
window with the phone right side up (home button on the bottom), the compass
still works as it should and announces East.

If I flip the phone upside down so that the back of the phone is against the
window, but the home button is pointing up and the headphone jack is
pointing down, the compass now reverses and announces West.

Now, for the last 2 positions. I am once again holding the phone right side
up (headphone jack pointing straight up, home button on the bottom), but I
am now holding the phone with the touch screen facing away from me and flat
against the window. Voice Compass now tells me West.

Lastly, I once again flip the phone upside down, I am still holding the
touch screen away from me and pressed against the window, but now the
headphone jack is again down and the home button and connector port is up.
Voice Compass once again tells me East.

The conclusion is the for the compass to work correctly, the phone can be
held flat or on edge as long as the top of the phone where the headphone
jack is points in the direction you want to know you are facing. This means
you could have the phone on a belt clip holster, but for compass directions
to work, you must be able to turn the belt clip so the phone is held in
landscape position and the headphone jack has to point in the direction you
are walking with the home button towards your back.

What I found out with this test and hadn't realized as much before is that
you could also have your phone in a chest pocket in either one of 2
orientations:
1. With the touchscreen against your chest and right side up
2. With the back of the phone against your chest and the touch screen
pointing in the direction you are going and upside down.

The same would apply if you had a neck holder like this one:
http://www.iphone-lanyard.com/Site/iPhone_Holder.html
Here it would make sense to have the phone in the holder upside down and
hanging with the back of the phone against your chest or stomach (depending
on how long you adjust the neck strap). This would give you accurate compass
direction and it would give you easy access to the touch screen as well.

I hope I didn't confuse people with this and that it might help some in
deciding how to best carry their phone.

Sieghard

that pairing code for hims

2013-08-03 Thread Penny Golden
you turn blue tooth on in both. then you are going to be asked for 
a 4 digit number in  your iPhone settings / accessibility spot.

you determine the 4 digit number.
Then you go back to the braille device and you will be asked for the 
same 4 digit number.
I hope this helps, for I wanted to copy and paste the whole shebang from 
their website, but the U2 wouldn't allow for it.
if you need help, go to their web site and the whole thing is listed 
under resources.

And please remember, I'm greener than grass when it comes to these things.

hourly news app question

2013-08-02 Thread Penny Golden
I see a free thing when I go to hourly news. it gives you NPR.  I 
also see and purchased the one for 99 cents which is called hourly news.
I saw where someone said that it would give you several news sources, 
but I can find only npr and BBC.  but I'd like others.

If someone knows how to access others, could you tell me?
Thanks. and sorry to ask a dumb question, if it is one.

Re: THE RII KEYBOARD!!!

2013-08-01 Thread Penny Golden


You can get the help thing, in which every key or key combination that 
you press announces itself.
I know how to do it, but don't know the names of the keys; but this 
might help keyboard users.  so feel free to chime in and give that command.
It's the outer key and the third one in or my keyboard. that is, outer 
and 3rd in from the left on the space bar row.

and the k.
Forgive my being such a poor communicater of these things.

Hi Anthony.
I assume you mean the VO keys, control and options? They are located
to the left of the spacebar,. To the immediate left you'll find
command, then control, then options, and then function. Pressing
control and options together form the VO keys. So if something says to
use VO right arrow, you would press and hold control and option while
pressing the right arrow. I can only assume the VoiceOver keys are
what you're after, as I don't believe there is anything called an
Apple key.

Re: camfind, taptapsee, goggles etc

2013-07-25 Thread Penny Golden


There is another way to do it;  you could press your button, but know 
that it would not activate for 3 seconds or something, just time enough 
for you to get quiet or not move, or whatever.

Just my two cents, and probably not worth that much.
If you're using the phone at home, you could figure out a steady way to 
use it and not purchase a tripod or some other kind of holding device.

Hi all,
I thought I'd get your opinions before I go chatting with the 
developers of these kinds of apps.
I have found that one of the biggest difficulties I have is holding 
the phone steady enough to take clear pictures.  I personally can't 
afford purchasing devices to hold the phone so I came up with another 
idea.
I have found that I can take pretty good pics if the phone is resting 
on a table top or something.  However, I still tend to jiggle the 
phone when tapping the button to take a pic or start the video and the 
like.
My thought here is asking the developers to add the ability to 
activate pic taking or video starting and stopping via a sound.  this 
would enable us to position the phone and then clap our hands or 
whistle or something to activate it.
I figure that if you folks feel this would be helpful enough I'd start 
the discussion with the developers and see if they would be open to 
such a change.

So, what do you all think?
Thanks.

hd radio

2013-07-18 Thread Penny Golden
Hi.  I downloaded one more of these big radio things. I thought it 
was radio.com; but it comes across as hd radio. it's free, but when it 
opens, you have to decline something.  Nevertheless, it's really 
accessible.  there are at least 150 inspirational stations; 200 
classical ones; and I don't know whatAll else.
I really like the sound.  Perhaps it's been covered, recovered, and 
discovered a million times.  but it's new to me, and I really like it.  
It's been running for hours without dropping out or anything strange.

Re: HD Radio

I think that I went to the app store and put in radio.  I saw things I 
already have, songza, pandora (the free one), and others.  but I believe 
at the top of the screen was something called radio.com and it was 
free.   I'm such a newbie, and almost worthless at trying to duplicate 
something like what happened.

I'm sorry if this is still very vague.

Travel apps in general

I'm new to all this.   I hear you discussing all these apps that 
show roads and streets walking or in the car.  How does that all work?  
Do you just download the app and learn?  Or do you first have to 
download something such as google maps


?
Or would the addition of some other kinds of GPS that I haven't even 
thought of make these apps you're discussing more effective?
Or, do they just work all by themselves without additions?  Thanks, and

Re: keyboard

2013-07-08 Thread Penny Golden


That was a genius suggestion. The control key was the furthest out, and 
the other was the third in.  When pressed with the letter k, i got the 
keyboard help I needed.  I can now do about everyt hing from the 
keyboard except a double-tap.  any idea on that?
I had that calm radio on my computer and I paid way too much for a 
subscription for 2 years. well, it never worked for me on the PC; 
something about flash player; i got that upgraded but still cannot make 
it work.  however, I could transfer the Calm radio full version to my i 
device because it's fully paid.  There is a free version that is quite 
nice; but the full version is really super, for it has nature sounds 
that i do not think are in the free one; but I may be wrong about that.
All that above to say this: I now have the iPod recording 75 minutes of 
dolphin sounds for a friend who would like a cd of dolphins.  Yep, we 
can accommodate that.
Another note: I am seeing names on this list that I have not seen in 
years.  It's almost a class reunion or family reunion to see so many 
familiar handles.  I imagine some of you feel the same as I.

Does the capitalizing of a first letter matter in an email address?  i'm

uncap of a letter before the at-sign is immaterial.  I'm probably 
talking through my hat.

Hi Chris, there was a bug with the Voxer app that prevented people

do it I'd be interested if you think it's worth it.


Voxer is in my view the best of all these walkie talkie apps so I'm

In the Bbc news app you can now get push notifications for breaking

on the Sky News app, which some days I don't get any breaking news at 
all. Not saying it's bad; just comparing. The sound used is I think a 
little clip of the jingle used in the Bbc News channel.
As for Voxer, one can now upgrade or at least try Voxer Pro. But I 
have a problem with this.
When I double tap on enjoy Voxer Pro, nothing happens. Any ideas? 
Wanted to try the extreme notifications feature.
Anyway just thought I would share my observations with the app 
updates I personally received today.

Re: Moderator warning about letting emotions run away from you

2013-07-03 Thread Penny Golden


First they bash Seeing Eye or Sendero:
They are greedy for blind folks' dinero.
And the mod's gentle chiding
Brings too little subsiding,--
Makes me want to destroy my sombrero.

Thinking of doing a podcast on this app. Are you interested?

Thinking that an app is too expensive is one thing but calling a company
greedy and accusing them of taking advantage of the blind and stealing
from them is another thing altogether. It's hard to think this isn't
emotional when you start tossing around terms like greed, taking
advantage of and stealing.

If your original post was more like the post below, I doubt this thread
would have been as long as it's been.

I'm curious what you think is a reasonable price. I'm also curious how
much you would pay for such an app and how much it would have to cost
for you to think it's too expensive for yourself but still wouldn't call
the company out for stealing and being greedy.

screen that wants you to pay so much right away with out even a trial
leaves a bad taste in my mouth. As for writing a review before
purchasing, if the price drives one away from purchasing, I think I have
a right to let the developers know of this so that may be they will
think of a more suitable plan. I have expressed my views on this and
this is the last I will write concerning the subject. I thank the list

Hello all. Let's remember that being passionate about how we feel VS

couple of years back, the Sendero Lookaround app did the same thing. I'm
not a Sendero Fanboy, but it certainly seems like there are some people
who just have it out for Sendero. Or, maybe they just have it out for
paying for things. I don't know. I don't really care what the reasons
are. All I'm writing about here is to warn you all that if anyone has

Easy BlindFriendly game sought

2013-07-02 Thread Penny Golden
Hi.  Now that Anna has kindly set me on the path and I can hear 
everything I type, there's a good chance I might be able to play an easy 
game.   I would like a word game like hangman or freeze up.  Do any of 
these exist--preferably lowCost.
How about a math game where you have to do addition, subtraction, 
multiplication, or division.

I even signed myself in to Calm Radio--WooHoo.
I already have trivia world.
Maybe after  I get tolerably conversant with this iPod, i might even try 
to set up the email.

Kindest regards,
Penny
And thanks to Anna.

Re: Pandora.

2013-06-30 Thread Penny Golden


Thank you. Pandora is working fine now.   I don't remember what the 
problem was, but it's resolved.
Stay tuned, though; I can make simple things complex, and easy things 
frustrating.

The reason you need to Sign in is because Pandora stores your 
favorites, likes, and dislikes, on their server. This way, you can 
customize your stations and what you want to listen to


I have no problems with Pandora, I just Enter   a artist name, and it 
will give me a station that has music of his genre.

would like keyboard to announce letters using voice over

2013-06-29 Thread Penny Golden
I have an iPod touch and a paired keyboard.  I have typed in my 
email address and when I hit the at-sign, it will give me the first part 
spoken.

Is there some way to hear each letter as it is typed from the keyboard?
I have written this query before and it did not show up on the list.  
Maybe I made some kind of simple error.

Thanks for any help.

On another front, I am having a beastly time getting my info plugged 
into the device so that I can use the free version of  pandora.  I'm 
getting some good help, but it has still been a bear for me.

Ipod with keyboard

2013-06-29 Thread Penny Golden
I have an iPod 5th generation; I've been learning a thing or two; 
but I bought a keyboard and would like to hear each letter or keystroke 
announced by the voice-over.  Can you tell me how to do this?
When I put in my email address, I hear the first part announced when i 
hit the at-sign.  If I could hear letters, why, I'd be so much more 
efficient, maybe.

Help appreciated.
