Re: Opinions on HomePod mini?
Hi, You can link the HomePod with the HomePod mini to play the same music in different rooms. You cannot create a stereo pair using a regular HomePod and a HomePod Mini. You have to have two of the same type of Homepods to create a stereo pair. I use my HomePods to primarily play Apple Music, Podcasts and online radio stations. While Siri can occasionally get cranky about a particular radio station, I really don’t have much trouble. I don’t have any experience with Google music so can’t say whether there is a lot more there. I will say that it is very rare that I can’t find what I want to hear on Apple Music. I had an Echo Dot for a little while but decided that I really don’t trust Amazon the way I do Apple so I got rid of the Dot. The Dot did not sound anywhere near as good as either the HomePod or the HomePod Mini. It is definitely not designed for delivering quality music. All of this is pretty subjective and you have to figure out what you want to listen to and try to find out which of the streaming services and smart speakers deliver the most of what you want. I personally have found that the Apple service and devices meet my needs really well. I have the complete Sonos system. Two Play 5 speakers, the TV Soundbar and the large Sub. It sounds really good but the HomePods in a stereo pair give the Sonos a run for its money. At least to my ears. If the HomePods had been available at the time, I would have felt no need to purchase a Sonos system.

Re: Opinions on HomePod mini?
Hi Traci and List, I am all into the Apple ecosystem. I have Macs, iPhones and Apple Watches connected to my network. I want to use Siri as my digital assistant. So, the HomePods are perfect for me. I have three regular HomePods and two homePods Mini. I also have a Sonos system. To my ears, the HomePods sound fantastic and they can all be very easily controlled with Siri. You can have music playing in one room, all rooms or only the rooms that you choose. I should also mention that I subscribe to Apple Music. So controlling the HomePods with my voice is much easier and more seamless than trying to control the Sonos through its app. Don’t get me wrong, the Sonos sounds great and is easy to use. It just isn’t as easy as the HomePods are. Again, the HomePods are especially great if you are all in with Apple devices and if you subscribe to Apple Music.

Re: apple's equivalent of the echo
Hi, Of course, how audio sounds is quite subjective. I have both a Sonos system consisting of two play 5 speakers, a sub, and their TV sounder. I also have two HomePods setup in a stereo pair. To me, I actually prefer the sound of the HomePod stereo pair to all of these Sonos speakers. Don’t get me wrong, the Sonos speakers sound really good. To me the two HomePods sound even a bit better. I was really surprised by this. I assumed that all of these Sonos speakers would blow the two small HomePods out of the water. Not the case in my ears.

Re: HomePod Question
Hi Mary, My HomePods are in a stereo pair also. Witch iPhone are you using? I am using the 11 pro.

Re: HomePod Question
Hi Mary and list, To make sure that I wasn’t giving bad information, I just started a BookShare book reading on my iPhone. I was using the James voice. I then held my phone near the HomePod. The phone gave a little haptic click and said transferring to HomePod. The James voice immediately began to read the book through the HomePod. I then held the phone near the HomePod again and got the haptic vibration and the phone said transferring to iPhone. The James voice again came through the iPhone.

Hi Kay, A google search told me that you can reset the Bose by powering them on and holding down the volume down and multifunction button for ten seconds. The SoundWare should then prompt you to choose a language. I am assuming that a factory reset would clear the Bluetooth pairing list.

Hi Kay, I don’t remember the command but I know I have seen a reset command for the SoundWare. Bose tech support should be able to provide it for you.

Re: TuneIn Pro Not Working
Hi, The latest update is flaky for me. It will work for a while and then refuse to load. I have to delete it and redownload it to get it working again. It will work for a while then maybe even a day or so. It will flake out at some point and I have to delete and download again. It is very strange. I hope this will get fixed in the next update.

Re: Question for those trying to access the latest Audible sale on your iPhone
Hi, I got this email also. I was able to add the two books from my wish list to the sale screen. At the bottom of the sale screen is a bar that shows that the books have been added. Apparently there is an arrow to the right of the bar that one has to click on before the system will advance to the proceed to checkout button. This arrow is not visible by VoiceOver on the Mac. I called Audible tech support and they remotely connected to my Mac and clicked the arrow. I was then able to proceed with the checkout. I asked the tech support person to report this lack of accessibility to the Audible web developer.

Re: Home Pod and test messages
Hi, Anyone in the house can activate the HomePod with their voice. The owner of the HomePod has to have his or her iPhone on the WiFi network before the HomePod will speak text messages. So, anyone in the house can only activate the text messages if the owner of the HomePod is present. Not a perfect solution but that is how it works at the moment.

Re: Help with One Password
Hi Kim, I just tried looking at my credit cards in 1password on both the iPhone X and the Mac. In both cases, VoiceOver reads all of the information to me as expected. I am guessing that you are working with 1password on iOS? I would suggest closing it out in the app switcher and reopening it to see if the problem clears up. You also might restart your iOS device and see if that helps. It is all working normally for me.

Re: Audible and Sonos fans rejoyce
Hi, When I open the select a different device screen, I can see my Sonos speakers. When I select them, I get a screen that says that Sonos needs to be authorized by my amazon account. When I press next, I am just returned to the now playing screen in the Audible iOS app. I cannot get this authorization to happen. I have both my Sonos system and Audible app up-to-date.

Re: AirPods
Hi, With iOS 11, when I am checking the charge of the AirPods and the case, frequently VoiceOver switches from speaking through the main speaker of the phone to speaking through the AirPods instead.

Re: Creating a wifi network from my Mac
Hi, You probably will have better luck strengthening the wifi signal. Mesh networks are very popular for this purpose.

Re: Apple watch and Air Pods
Hi, I have had the same experience that Deb has had. I am using the series 0 watch. I’m not sure if VoiceOver works better with the AirPods on the series 2 watch? When I restarted my watch with the AirPods in my ears, the watch started up with VoiceOver speaking through the EarPods. This only worked for five or ten minutes. Clearly, Apple has more work to do here. This seems to be a VoiceOver issue. Music plays from the watch to thee AirPods just fine.

Re: Moore voice dream reader nonsense
Hi, When Voice Dream Reader first introduced the iCloud syncing option, I had some problems. I deleted everything in my Voice Dream library and re downloaded the stuff I really wanted using iCloud sync. I have had no problems with the feature since then. It was especially nice when I switched from the iPhone 6s plus to the 7 plus. Voice Dream Reader automatically downloaded all of my books from iCloud. Unfortunately, sometimes you just have to start fresh when working with cloud syncing.

Re: Sonos
Hi Marie, I got two Play 5 speakers a few weeks ago and had to call Sonos to find out how to open the box. Don't feel bad. Place the box with the handle facing up. If you run your hands down both the left and right sides of the box, you will find a lock on each side near the bottom. The locks are covered with a piece of tape and a little piece of cardboard. Remove the tape and cardboard. You can then slide each lock forward and lift off the top of the box by grabbing the handle. Once you get it unlocked, it is very straightforward. Let me know if I can help further.

Re: TimeBuz
Hi Denny and list, To setup the Apple Watch to check the time without having to always open TimeBuz, open the Watch app on the iPhone and select general. Go to the wake screen button and double-tap on it.Turn wake on wrist raise on and choose always show most recently used. I would also change the sleep time from 15 to 70 seconds. This is also done on the wake screen settings. Once you have these items configured, launch TimeBuz and if you want silent time checking, turn off VoiceOver. Now when you touch the screen to wake the watch, TimeBuz will automatically be available as long as it stays the most recently used app. When you want to use the watch again with voiceOver simply triple click the crown to start Voiceover and press the crown once to go back to the clock face.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch
Hi Nancy and list, I love being able to read and reply to tweets, text messages and email on my Apple watch. This is particularly great when I am in a situation where taking out my phone is undesirable. I use my watch to time activities and the alarm function to keep me on track. It is a great time keeper. Just recently, a watch app became available that allows one to get the time presented in vibration patterns. This means that one can silently check the time without disturbing others with VoiceOver. The app is called Timebuz. There is a new app called iReg which allows one to make audio recordings using just the watch. Apple Watch is fully accessible with VoiceOver. Good luck with your decision.

Re: Starting and stopping audio in the Audible App
Hi, Using the iPhone 6 plus, I find that if I have not restarted my phone for a week or so, the two finger double-tap to start and stop audio quits working in all apps. A restart of the phone fixes the problem until several days have gone by. So, make sure that your problem is specific to just the audible app. Does a restart of the phone fixes it at least for a while?

Re: Voice Dream Mail, probably targeted for a sighted audience
Hi, As far as I can tell, at this time, Voice Dream Mail only works with the inbox and doesn’t allow one to work with other mailboxes. You can purchase the pro version and work with the inboxes of multiple accounts. The purpose of this app seems to be to allow one to very quickly run through the inbox, have mail read and quickly flag or delete the message. The app works really well if you don’t expect it to do more than this. When you are having the app read an email, a three finger tap will bring up a help screen with the list of available gestures. I saw the email from the developer saying that this help screen wasn’t working for everybody. It works fine for me on the iPhone 6 plus. Again, if all you want to do is quickly get through your inbox, this app is one way to do it.

Re: Deleting Books from the Audible App: An Alternate Method
Hi, That method has not been reliable for me. Sometimes after pressing the top delete button, I can find an edit button and sometimes it simply is not on the screen. Even when it is and I double-tap it, sometimes the delete button next to the book title will result in the delete dialog and sometimes not. It is not consistent. I don't believe any of these methods are completely consistent. At least that has been my experience.

Re: Deleting Books from the Audible App: An Alternate Method
Hi, Using iOS8.02 on an iPhone 5s, the only somewhat reliable way that I have found to delete a book in the most recent version of the audible app with VoiceOver running, is to double-tap and hold on the book title and while holding swipe left from the right side to the left side of the screen. Then double-tap the delete button that is just to the left of the book title. If this works, you will get the prompt telling you that your bookmarks have been saved and you can delete the book. This does not work every time for me but I have always been able to make it work after a few tries.

Re: Aftershokz bluez II
Hi Hope, If you wait about 20 seconds after the Bluez has stopped using A2DP, the volume buttons will give you battery status. The same thing for Siri usage. You have to wait until A2DP is inactive before using Siri. Also, when A2DP is active, pressing and holding the button on the left earpiece is actually toggling you between to different equalizer settings. One has more bass than the other.

Re: Changing Stations in the TuneIn app:
Hi, Your favorites are still there. They are now under profile. Once you double-tap on a station in your profile, you will need to double-tap on the name of the station to get it to play. So, it is now a two step process. First, select the station from your profile. Then when the now playing screen opens for the station, double-tap on the station's name to start it playing. The interface is different but completely accessible.

Re: new aftershotz blues2
Hi Andy, I contacted Aftershokz and they said that the online documentation was not yet ready. I do not know anything about how to configure the speech. For people who are having drop-out issues, I always carry my phone in my left front jeans pocket and don't have any drop-out with either the Bluez or Bluez 2. Also, if you are looking for a fabulous bluetooth headphone for music, I love the Bose AE2W over the ear headphones. They sound wonderful at least to me. Headphones are very subjective. It is always better to listen before buying if you can.

Re: new aftershotz blues2
Hi, I am a big fan and daily user of the Aftershokz headphones. I have both the wired and bluetooth versions. I do not use the Aftershokz for music. I use Bose headphones for music. So, the Aftershokz are only used by me for podcast listening, audio books and text to speech. I had excellent success with the original Bluez model. I find them comfortable and for what I use them for, to me they sound great. The new Bluez 2 are nicely designed with the headband smaller because the controls are on the right side and not in the head band on the back. I like the sound of the Bluez 2 but they do have more bass and they vibrate my cheek bones more than the original Bluez do. I am not finding them quite as comfortable as the original Bluez model. They hurt my right ear after wearing them for an hour or more. This isn't terrible and I just adjust them once in awhile to ease the discomfort. The new Bluez 2 do have speech built-in. The voice is called Audrey. It is a very clear voice. It tells you when the headset is in pairing mode and it tells you battery status. When no audio is playing, pressing one of the volume buttons will report battery status. When the battery is needing a charge, Audrey says "charge me." This comes as a bit of a surprise when listening to spoken audio and suddenly hear charge me. The volume and on/off buttons are very small and take a bit of searching to find them. The mini USB port is between the volume button and the power button. I do like the Bluez 2 and the addition of speech is nice. I think speech appeared in later versions of the original Bluez but mine didn't have it. I think the construction of the Bluez 2 is very solid. I am not at all sorry that I purchased them.

Re: Aftershokz Bluez 2 Headset
Hi, I got a notice that my Bluez 2 have shipped. I actually have had excellent success with the Bluez original version so am excited to try the new ones. I find these headphones perfect for listening to podcasts while doing other things around the house. I even use them while practicing scales on the guitar. It is great to be able to listen to a podcast while still being able to hear what is going on around you.

Re: Bluetooth keyboards not working
Hi, Bluetooth keyboards definitely work with iOS 7.1. I use mine every day. There is a bug when in an edit box, if you press the control key by itself to stop speech, you have to then press and release both the control and option keys together to get the keyboard functioning properly again. The simplest workaround is not to use the control key by itself in an edit field. Unfortunately, before this bug was understood, it was thought that bluetooth keyboards did not work. This is not true.

Re: is there a way to downgrade?
Hi Rebecca, If you are thinking about downgrading because of the bluetooth keyboard bug, there is no reason to do so. It has been determined that the bug happens when the control key is pressed to stop speech. You can totally avoid the bug by not pressing the control key by itself when in an edit box. Even if you do press the control key by itself, simply press and release control and option together and the keyboard will work properly again. With these workarounds, the bug really isn't a big deal. I am sure it will be fixed in the future.

Re: BARD BOOKS ON IPHONE
Hi, I have also experienced this problem. For me, it tends to happen when I move a long way backwards in a book. For example, if I fall asleep and the next day, I back up maybe 30 minutes or so to get back to where I was before falling asleep, it is likely that at some point while listening, the book will suddenly jump back to some where in the previous chapter. It is very frustrating and disconcerting.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case
Hi, As a general rule, I have never put my iPhones in a case. I think they are so awesomely perfect as they are. I do not put anything in my left pocket but my phone. That said, I bought the apple leather case with my iPhone 5s. I still prefer the phone without a case but as far as cases go, the apple case isn't bad. Yes, I know I have just given a totally mixed message. I have found that as a person who is very careful with his technology, a case on an iPhone really isn't necessary.

Re: utility of an iPad as a productivity tool
Hi, I am a huge iPhone lover and was rather slow to really come to love the iPad. I am totally blind and like others have said, I spent a lot of time wondering whether or not the larger screen really offered the VoiceOver user any advantage. Last year, my employer purchased the iPad 3 for everyone in my department who wanted one. I got one and gradually installed some of my favorite apps. I discovered that I really enjoyed working with email and safari on the larger screen. In mail, for example, all of the mailboxes are listed along the left side of the screen. You can simply run your finger down the mailbox column and double-tap on the mailbox that you want to open. Of course, I can work fine with email on my iPhone but this layout on the iPad is nice for both sighted and blind users. I also found that listening to audio on the ipad's built-in speakers was nicer than the iPhone's speaker. Again, I can hear audio just fine on the iPhone but given a choice of listening to a book or sports broadcast on either, I would choose the iPad. Also, it is really nice to have two iOS devices so that when the battery runs low on one, you can grab the other device and keep on working. I ended up liking the iPad enough that when the new much faster and thinner iPad Air came out, I gave the iPad 3 back to my department and purchased the iPad Air. I do agree that having both an iPhone and an iPad is a luxury. If I could only afford one, I would choose the iPhone. Having them both is certainly the best of all for me.

Re: passcode and touch id
Hi Don, Without a passcode, touch id is not needed. You would simply use the unlock icon to unlock the phone. Touch ID is away to use a passcode without having to actually enter the passcode manually.

Re: The Square root of IOS7
Hi Brian, I agree with others that this issue has to be either a setting or more likely a corrupted app. I would make sure that you have a backup of your phone and restore it to the factory defaults. This would involve erasing everything that is currently on the phone. Try using iOS 7 with no apps installed and see if the problem is still there. Assuming that it is not, I would then install apps one at a time. Not from a backup but by redownloading them either through iCloud or from the app store. It is very likely that once you have all new copies of the apps, this problem will be gone. You will have to do this same process with your wife’s phone if it fixes things on yours.

Re: Automatic iOS 7 download and space considerations
Hi, I very much agree with Cara. This should be taken up with Apple. I don't doubt that the iPhone 4 might have some difficulty running iOS 7. Apple does have second to none customer service.

Re: Automatic iOS 7 download and space considerations
Hi, I would like to address this issue from a historical perspective. Since it was founded back in 1976, Apple has always been about moving forward even if that meant canabilizing its own product line. We saw it when they moved from the Apple II to the Mac. Again when they replaced an extremely successful top selling iPod with the iPod Nano. Each time a new version of OS X or iOS is released, the previous version is unavailable by the very next day on every piece of hardware that is for sale in an Apple store. Apple moves forward leaving the earlier OS behind. If, for whatever reason, you choose to stay with an older version there will always be a price to pay. Stick with Snow Leopard and you will not have iCloud. Stick with iOS 6 and you will have 3 GB less space on your device. Apple wants all of its customers to run the latest version. They are about moving forward. Apple has never apologized for pushing out the latest operating system. It is at the core of Apple's DNA. People who don't understand this don't have a good understanding of Apple's philosophy. This is understandable given that so many people have recently come to Apple devices. This approach is extremely successful with the majority already having upgraded to iOS 7. Of course there are bugs but most of us find the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of using the current operating system. Since Apple wants its customers to keep buying products, it will fix the bugs. A willingness to move forward or an acceptance that one pays the price for choosing not to do so is just the way it works. No amount of complaining will change this reality. If you decide that 3 GB of space is to much of a price to pay for staying with iOS 6, you could upgrade or you could switch to Android. They, unfortunately, have the opposite problem where many devices cannot or are not allowed to run the latest version of the OS. Like with Apple, this reality is just the way it is. No amount of complaining will change it.

Re: After Shockz - Play / Pause Only Plays
Hi Darth, The problem is not unique to the AfterShokz Bluez. Many bluetooth headsets only issue a play command when the play/pause button is pressed. For whatever reason, the assumption is made that the app that is currently playing will be smart enough to know that if it sees a play command while playing it should pause. Unfortunately, all apps are not this smart. When I first got the Bluez, the fabulous podcast client "Downcast" had this problem. The developer made Downcast smarter so that if it is playing and gets a play command it pauses. All of the other apps that I use are smart enough to operate properly. So, if you try Downcast or the iPhone music app, you should find that the play/pause button works as expected. You must be trying an app that isn't smart about this button. Interestingly, the Audible app works properly when played at normal speed but if you speed up the reading of the book, the play/pause command fails with the Bluez or any bluetooth headset that I have tried. This suggests that there are other issues going on as well. Hope this helps.

Re: Requesting Comments on Logitech K760 Solar Bluetooth Keyboard
Hi Craig, I have the K760. I use it with my iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. I have all three of them paired and use the first three function keys to switch between them. I have never loaded any additional software to work with this keyboard. I have no experience using the K760 with windows computers.

Re: Deleting podcast episodes in DownCast
Hi, You can delete an individual podcast episode in Downcast by focusing on the name of the episode double-tap and hold the second tap until you hear three small clicks.

MBraille and Sending Email
Hi All, I have seen a few emails on this list and elsewhere about not being able to get MBraille to fill in an email address when using the dot mail command. I suspect that people are forgetting that for this to work, the actual email address must either be in your contacts database or you have to write out the entire email address on the dot mail command line. So, I want to send an email to Allison. I must first make sure that Allison's email address is filled in on her contacts card. Unfortunately, I have lots of contacts that don't have an email address filled in. Assuming, however, that Allison's address is there, I can simply write the body of the email in MBraille, go to a blank line, write .mail "Hello Allison" for the subject and the name Allison after the quoted text. When I then create another blank line, MBraille opens the mail program with everything already filled in. All I have to do is double-tap the send button. If Allison's email address was not in my contacts, I would need to turn grade two translation off and write Allison's entire email address after the quoted subject and then enter a blank line to get the mail program to load with everything filled in.

Re: Help with Podcasting
Hi, The real issue is that there are dozens of ways to go about creating and distributing podcasts. How one decides to go about it depends on technical skill, who your domain hosting service is, what blogging platform you are going to use and so on.

Hi Paul, I like the Lire rss app a lot. You are correct to get it to automatically retrieve the full-text of all rss articles, you do need to make an inapt purchase.

Re: access notes issues
Hi, To delete a note in AccessNote, locate the title of the note. Double-tap and hold. Without lifting your finger, after you hear the three clicks, flick right. Lift your finger and flick and you will see a confirm deletion button. The critical step is not to lift your finger before swiping right after the double-tap and hold.

Re: Braille Touch Doesn't Work as I expected
Hi All, For me, one of the keys to really getting comfortable and fast with BrailleTouch has been to find the best way for me to hold the phone so that it feels very secure in my hands. I am sure that we will all hold it slightly differently because of the size of our hands and just general preferences. For me, I do not have my iPhone 5 in a case. I like to position the phone so that the top where the lock button is located is against my left palm. I put my little finger on the bottom side and my thumb near the volume buttons on the top. With my right hand, I take a similar position on the right end of the phone but do not put my palm all the way against the phone. This way my hand does not cover the speaker. Holding the phone in this way positions my fingers perfectly to write the braille patterns. I think part of the point of BrailleTouch is that you can create text without having to have a flat surface, and additional keyboard and so on. Believe me, it feels a little awkward at first but if you take the time to find the holding position that allows you to feel confident that you are not going to drop the phone, BrailleTouch will quickly become a joy to use.

Re: Problems with BRAILLETOUCH
Hi, It is so funny how we can have such different experiences with the same app. I was entering text very quickly and quite accurately three or four minutes after installing BrailleTouch. I had listened to a couple of podcasts about it and had read the User's Guide. I am thrilled with this app. It is awesome for me.

Re: Phone Drive
Hi, Using Phone Drive, when I attempt to play any mp3 or m4a file from my DropBox, Phone Drive says downloading and then the program exits. I am using VoiceOver on an iPhone 5. Is anybody else seeing this behavior with Phone Drive music files and DropBox?

New Tech Doctor Podcast
Hi All, I am excited about the latest Tech Doctor podcast entitled "Apple Accessibility From the Early Days to Now with Darcy Burnard." Darcy and his partner Holly have been teaching us about VoiceOver since 2006 when they started their Screenless Switchers podcast. In addition to talking about the early days, Darcy and the Tech Doctor discuss how to go about selecting, customizing and purchasing the current line of Apple laptops. They discuss the new iPads and speculate a bit about the future of iOS.

Re: Zello
Hi Jenn, To get to the option to switch from the earpiece to the speaker in Zello, you have to first select a channel and double tap on it. Once you are inside the channel, you will have a button that lets you toggle between the speaker phone and earpiece.

Re: New Tech Doctor podcast entitled 1Password and VoiceOver
Hi, This issue is covered in detail on the latest NOSILLA cast over at http://www.podfeet.com As far as 1password, I save the password database in DropBox so it would be automatically available on a new device as soon as I installed DropBox on the new device.
