Re: New OS Releases from Apple

2015-12-09 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi Jonathan,
I don't suppose they have put in the facility to opt out of automatic download 
have they? we have very very restricted broadband here, but we also had several 
I devices… this is a real pain in the neck for us, we have to remember to turn 
off Wi-Fi et cetera when the phones and iPads are plugged in. I do feel that 
Apple are very cavalier with this particular policy.

just my jangling thoughts,

Re: I converter pro, app that converts youtube to m4a

2015-11-26 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi,
I am very interested in this app, but wonder if it works in the way I am 
hoping… my rproblem is not so much one of space on my phone, but, rather, the 
fact that I have a very limited broadband. so, if I want to watch YouTube 
videos or download films et cetera, will this app allow me to just import the 
sound file and, in t reduce my download traffic?

any info gratefully received,
Sandy

Re: "Light Probe" App

2015-11-25 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Eric,
I think I used to have a app that did this, but can't remember what it was 
called and don't have it on my phone at  present. I just went to the App Store 
and downloaded an app called ColourDetector, but it seems to be a very strange 
app that I don't understand and certainly isn't the one are used to have. could 
you possibly either send a link or give more details of the colour detector app 
you are using?

thanks, Sandy

hi,
Does anyone else think that we need a revamp of the light probe app? for me, 
for example, it works in general terms, that is, I get a sound indication if 
there is a light or if there is no light. but, in these days, with all our 
different devices/charges/indicators, including flashing LEDs, we need 
something more specific. I need a clever light detector app! are there any 
developers out there who might work on this?

Re: Has anyone tried this?

2015-10-25 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi Kimber,
To speak true, I've only had real success with the Guardian cryptic online 
crossword. this is mainly because it was free and I didn't have to take out a 
subscription so nothing lost if it didn't work. years ago, before I had an 
iPhone, I did play with the times online crossword, but it was inaccessible in 
those days anyway. I wouldn't mind paying for subscriptions, but won't do it 
again only to find they are not accessible. what I like about this app is the 
fact that you can take out a subscription to a paper and then access their 
Crosswords. however, the app itself is still problematical. I do have high 
hopes  that they will fix it though. to what address did you write  them for 
support? I would like to add my voice to yours. it is so much nicer being able 
to do these crosswords on the phone, you can move around, do other things, 
while thinking of the answers. ironically, I can still do the Guardian cryptic 
crossword using my iPhone four running iOS 6.13 (I think it is). luckily, I 
never upgraded that phone, so, I can still get my daily fix! strangely, when I 
first upgraded to 9.02, I could just about manage it on my iPhone 6, but this 
only lasted for two days and then it stopped working. it seems to be a question 
of focus with voice-over. I did write to the guardian support people, but 
really I think it is a question of voice-over rather than their app. this has 
become my benchmark for voice-over accessibility, i.e., if it works with the 
crossword, then all is right with  the world.

successful solving to you, Sandy

Hi Kinber,

Thanks for responding and giving this one a try! I get the same results as 
you, but it does look like it should be doable if only

I have found, once "keyboard" is chosen, that I do get letters in the edit 
field, but it is very hit and miss and I can't seem to find how to delete 
extraneous letters. So, the keyboard is being seen, which is good news, so we 
must be able to use the app, just a little tweaking, perhaps?

I found this app via Google, when looking for VIP solutions to online 
crossword accessibility and discovered that accessibility is the whole point of 
their app. I am sure they will be helpful. I also will write to them. For 
anyone else who is reading this, you can choose from many different types of 
crossword, from the most simple to the most obscure, including, as I tnote, 
some in latin Plus, of course, concise and cryptic (my personal favourite!)

So, lets keep trying and reporting back.

One final comment: for me, real pleasure is to do the crossword of the day, 
online, directly on the relevant newspaper, there is just something about doing 
things in real time, and for Prize crosswords, well

Slainte, Sandy.

2015-10-23 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

As ever, frustrated with my access to online crosswords. Indeed, I till 
only have success with my old iPhone 4 running 6x. So, I bought the below, just 
short of ten Euros, and it looks VO friendly, but I can't work out how to use 
it with my keyboard and it doesn't seem to have an onboard keyboard. I think, 
if you are not using an external one, you could input with a pen.

So, on the off-chance that someone out there loves crosswords and is 
prepared to risk the cash, do let me know if you work out how to use it, 
please

Best, Sandy. Crosswords Classic by Stand Alone, Inc.

Mary,
Using an iPhone 6 and the latest 9.1 I just tried this out: this is not exactly 
empirical research, but rather than trying the back button to go to the list of 
email messages, which, in my case, took me back to the top, try a scrub 
gesture. this took me to the message I was reading.
Good luck, Sandy

unwonted contact sharing

hi,
I wonder if anyone can help: I have an iPhone 6 my partner a 6S plus. to begin 
with Siri started calling him by my name and then when he corrected the phone 
identity, Siri started calling me by his name! now our contacts seem to be syn 
ching, but we don't want this, and, moreover, having put a new contact onto his 
phone it seems to have disappeared.

we are now using the same wireless network and we do have a shared Apple ID. 
can anyone suggest how we can clearly D-mark the identities of our phones and 
keep our information separate? I should say that I don't tend to use iTunes and 
my partner only uses it rarely. So, I don't have, for example, a backup of my 
phone on the computer. don't know if that is relevant…

thanks for any ideas, Sandy(The real one!)

just bought my way classic but…

2015-10-17 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi,
I just bought my way classic, running on my iPhone six and 9.02, Everytime I 
try to open a file to find the manual I get bounced out of the app. I have 
tried to reset and have deleted and re-downloaded the app. it's still behaving 
in the same way. So, I am wondering, is this a 9.02 bug? is anyone else 
experiencing this with this app? I note that it's most recent update is from 
September, so, might this be the reason?

all advice much welcome, as I am interested in this app now that it can work 
with beacons!
Sandy

crossword quandaries

2015-10-12 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hello the list,
I love doing crosswords, particularly the cryptic ones. once again, with the 
latest update to the iOS, I can fill-in the Guardian cryptic online crossword. 
now, and here is my quandary, the English times has started running a Latin 
cryptic crossword, but the times UK is a subscription based newspaper. so, my 
question is, has anyone got a subscription to the UK times online paper and 
have you had any success playing with the crosswords? I really don't want to 
pay for something if it is inaccessible.

thanks for any feedback,
Sandy

back to previous app button?

2015-10-11 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi,
I have recently upgraded to 9.02 on my iPhone six. I was under the impression 
that one of the new features was an ever present back button in the status line 
with which one could go back to the app you were in just before. thus obviating 
the need for using the app switcher. was I wrong? Perhaps it doesn't work on an 
iPhone 6? Or where is it?
Thanks in advance, Sandy

Re: AUTO language detections?

2015-10-10 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Rajmund,
when I go into settings/General/access ability/voice-over and finally to 
speech, The first thing I see is "default dialect". my default dialect happens 
to be set to UK English. The next thing I see is other languages and here I 
have UK English and Italian. with this set up all three show in my language 
rotor. so, only when I select default language/dialect, I can't remember what 
it's called now, the screen will read whatever languages are available. but but 
if I select either UK or Italian the screen will read in that language or at 
least try to in a weird sort of way. are we getting closer here?
Good luck, Sandy

Re: AUTO language detections?

2015-10-10 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi,
I have the English UK voice and the default language set to English UK on my 
iPhone 6. if I turn my rotor I get under the language options English UK 
Italian (which I also have) and default language. if I leave it set to default 
language, then my iPhone will read in whichever language the text was written. 
but if I leave the rotor set to English UK, everything is read in English 
regardless of its actual language. does this make sense?

good luck, Sandy

Re: The best bits of 902tc

2015-10-09 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi Richard and all,
I am also finding this very useful when editing dictated text. say, for 
example, I dictate a rather long multi clausal  sentence and find there are 
some mistakes in the middle of it. I don't want to lose the whole sentence, 
being rather proud of it, so need to make some corrections…I just go to the 
first mistaken word apply the editing text selection thing choose words flick 
to the right till I've covered them all  and then touch delete then I can read 
dictate that portion of the sentence again. Whereas, undo typing, will only 
remove the whole sentence, not necessarily what I wanted.

Thanks again, Sandy

Re: Voiceover pronunciation

2015-10-09 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

for me, the issue is a simple one, to it: I want my chaps to stay chaps and not 
to become chapters; I want to be able to get married on days other than 
Wednesday; I want to write to Italian friends speaking of their possessions in 
the feminine plural and not be told that it is Tuesday; I could go on and on 
and, I am sure, many of you you will know of other examples. The solution, 
moreover, is simple: they could just stop doing this and let the screen reader 
read what it says and not let it interpret. which is a Saint and which is a 
street is for me to decide when the abbreviation ST is used.

 That really is to bad.  It was one of the nicer things about iOS 8.4.
 Hopefully at some point down the road they'll put it back in.  I
 don't think voice over pronounces all the words correctly like it use
 to.  As some describe it, she sounds like she has a mouth full of
 marbles.  I don't know that I'd go quite that far but I appreciate
 the description just the same not to mention it gave me a chuckle for
 the day. LOL!

Richard,
Thanks so much for this. I didn't have edit selection turned on but I do have 
it now, thank you! as you say, the old pinch gesture was very iffy, but this 
seems to be solid and completely usable. now, if it will only work with Safari

The best bits of 902tc

2015-10-08 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi there,
I've just upgraded to the latest iOS 902. I was running 8.4 on my iPhone 6. I 
wonder, would anyone like to tell me what their favourite new functionality is? 
for example, editing? I haven't managed to get to grips with that at all yet. 
because I am a little late with my upgrade, I have missed all the messages 
about the new functionality and wonder if by people telling me their favourite 
bits I might be able to jump straight in and use it fully.

sorry for typos/dictation errors, I am still a little challenged  re correcting 
again.
Thanks, Sandy

Voice dream reader and zip files

2015-08-29 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

hi there,
if I receive, in the email app, a message containing a zip file attachment, 
when I double tap and hold upon it, I have options to open it in different 
apps. One of those apps is VoiceStream reader. if I choose voice dream reader, 
I get the sound of the file opening and the app opens and I'm in my selection 
of files. however, I cannot see the new book that I have received and sent to 
VoiceStream reader. if I use an app such as Filer, I can unzip the file and 
then send it to voice dream reader and all is fine. so, it seems that voice 
dream reader can deal with  zip files, or else it wouldn't show in the options, 
but text files, for example, seem to disappear in the app.I am assuming that 
voice dream reader deals with zip files is it the case that voice dream reader 
will only opens it files if they contain MP3s? where are my text files going to?

any help much appreciated!
Thanks, Sandy

Anyone using Estimote with BLE Stickers?

2015-08-09 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

Ever in quest of really usable orientation devices: I discovered an app 
called Estimote, which I have on my iPhone 6. However, until iBeacons appear 
here in Ireland, there is nothing for me to use it with except some stickers, 
made by Estimote, which look promising.

The rub is this: I am having trouble purchasing them. I think they are now 
available in the US, so, is anyone using them yet? There are also some things 
just called Beacons, from the same people, but these are larger and more 
expensive and not suitable for my purposes. Is anyone using them yet?

Looking on the net for alternatives, I have found something called 
Stick-N-Find, which looks good, but has very bad reviews on Amazon, is anyone 
using this system with their iPhone yet?

Hoping to open a fruitful discussion re usable bluetooth and 
location/orientation. Any takers?

Sandy.

Hi,

So long as I can use the edit function, I make use of the onboard 
dictionary, it is very good and VO friendly. I also have an Italian dictionary 
option, also good! I think I am remembering aright, this came with the ios and 
didn't cost anything extra.

 While it was Richard Petty who recommended it, I did a little research 
 because of Mark's question about why it costs so much.
 The hard cover print edition is $41.83 on Amazon.
 Its shipping weight is 7.5 pounds.
 It is 2112 pages.
 This app says it contains everything that is in the print edition.
 About 20 years ago, Oxford English Dictionary 2nd edition that was 21 
 print volumes, was about $900 in print, became available for $130 on a CD 
 Rom.
 Granted the OED 2nd edition had over six hundred thousand words, the cost 
 of dictionaries have dropped dramatically.
 What you are paying for is the linguistic expertees that goes into the 
 research on the history and usage of the words.
 According to Mr. Petty, the American Heritage app is quite accessible with 
 VoiceOver.
 
 Just my two cents worth.
 Richard

Battery drain on my 6 since 8.4

2015-07-03 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

This may even be true of my phone since 8.3, but, certainly, since 8.4, my 
battery is draining alarmingly since I upgraded. I have always found the 
battery life of the 6 to be excellent, but, unfortunately, no longer. Am I 
alone in this? If so, it might be attributable to an app I have installed or 
some such. However, Location Based services are not showing up in the status 
bar and I am just at home, not running GPS etc.

Can anyone confirm?

Sandy.

distractions, twigs/stones and pussy-cats, he is often forgetful. I have always 
had dogs, mainly, guide dogs, who were, de facto, trained before they came to 
me, so this is a new departure for me, though, I am no new dog handler. I do 
find, and this is true of working with a trained dog as well, that knowing the 
direction of the dog helps, immensely, when recalling one's dog. Thus, I am 
looking for an app and I do seem to remember that such a one exists. 

By the way, I do already have a retractable leash, but have found it 
problematical as Lupin is great at Macrame! He can knit his way around the 
trees etc and we then have a great time untangling him!

 Thanks again from me and from him!

Finding my Puppy!

2015-07-03 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hallo to the Viphone Community,

Seeing as many of us will have Guide dogs, I was wondering if anyone has 
found a good app which will allow them to find their dog in open spaces? I have 
a new, non professional, puppy. We also have a largish plot of land, about an 
acre, with lots of bushes and trees etc. I have put a little bell on his 
collar, but often don't know where he has gone. He is still very young and so 
doesn't know to come to me when called. I have been looking at various apps 
that work alonside a device, to help find him, but most of them are geared to 
GPS and a map for location. I am looking for something that will allow me to 
point my phone in a sort of scanning mode to help me locate him by, say, 
buzzing, when I am pointing in the right direction and, perhaps, indicating the 
distance? Is anyone using such an app and, if so, what is it and what 
Bluetooth/GPS device are you using?

Thanks in advance from me and puppy Lupin!

Re: Replacing Braille Notetaker with iDevice

2015-06-21 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

Tempted to chime in here: i learnt Braille in my secondary school education 
and then didn't really use it again until i sat my finals of my degree and 
then, not again until I did a degree in Italian, in my late fifties, just for 
the craic! I have obtained other degrees etc apart from these, but I didn't use 
braille for them. What I am trying to say here is this, Braille has been dying 
with the influence of the screen-reader, plus the tendency of educational 
authorities to use less qualified teaching assistants who could teach braille, 
encouraging the use of the voice rather than the letter. For this reason, 
Braille has been dying. However, now that we have refreshable Braille, things 
can change, but not unless the price seriously drops.

Jonathan, you quote a drop of, perhaps, 50 percent, however, I must say 
that this simply won't do. This does not answer, if we want to reinvigorate 
braille. Like many others, I have been watching and waiting for the Polymer, 
full page, refreshable braille display. It seems to me that were this a 
mainstream initiative, it would   already exist and would cost a few quid, but 
this is "research" based and as such, is just not happening, even though it is 
so, so close!

   As far as all the talk of different types of braille coding, I think most of 
us can weather that particular storm, we can adjust, but we cannot manufacture 
money where it doesn't exist!

I am not speaking directly to you or anyone here, I am just so frustrated, 
I want to make a serious study of Dante in the original Italian, with the 
ability to see the lines and read, not only along them, but also down them 
vertically, not doable  without  that illusive polymer display!!!

Sandy.

Re: Fixing Pronunciation In IOS8.3?

2015-06-18 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

Speaking of VO pronunciation: I would love to be able to toggle VO's 
propensity to extend what it sees as abreviations. We all know them, feat, Mon, 
anon, (although, for me, right now it is not doing it!) I can live, very 
happily with just hearing exactly what is written and not what VO decides is 
written by implication. Has anyone ever contacted Apple support with this in 
mind?

Just wondering if I am alone in this?

Re: Apple Music goes official, free for 3 months

2015-06-12 Thread &#x27;Sandratomkins' via VIPhone

Hi,

Because of bad connectivity here, I have never made use of services such as 
Spottify or even NetFlix, So all of this is virtual to me, but I am wondering, 
having listened to the MP3 download that was kindly made available here, of the 
WW DC, it seemed that the music range was very limited. I am thinking both of 
music from all round the world and, also, classical music, and I don't just 
mean Beethoven et al. Can anyone reassure me?

Thanks, Sandy.

Hi,

And thanks for all the advise! I found the below app which is free, has 
inapp purchases. It looks VO friendly, but not played with it yet. It also 
seems to do email groups as well. Take a look,

Re: Zip files with non-audio content and voice dream

2015-05-22 Thread Sandratomkins

Mary,

Although I have had Filer since I have had an iPhone, when the 4 first came 
out, I have never studied how to use it properly, only using it as is needful. 
So, problems with the "Help" file I cannot answer, however, I can say how i 
manage Zip/Rar and some other tiles using this app. So, I have a Zip file, 
perhaps in mail as an attachment, I choose to open it in Filer. Assuming you 
have not created a protocol in Filer as to where new files should go, they will 
probably arrive in the first level foler, (this can be managed if you find it 
necessary), flick right until you find your Zip file. Doubletap on it and you 
will hear a sound warning, as if you flick once to the right, the first option 
will be "unarchive". Doubletap on that and you will be put back into your list 
of files again. Assuming you have not altered anything in Filer Settings, you 
should land back on the Zip file, and may need to flick around to find your 
newly unarchived file. By the way, I have mine set to delete the original Zip 
file, and so I land back on the unzipped one instead which is easier. Oce you 
have VO announce the text file, doubletap and hold. (the passthrough gesture) 
and you will be offered all possible options available on your phone for 
dealing with this sort of file. VDR will appear in this list. Doubletap the app 
of your choice and voila the unzipped book should appear in that app, ready to 
go. 

It would save some trouble is Winston could make is possible for BDR to 
open Zip documents, but, for now, filer will do. plus, because Filer can deal 
with various types of files, it is a useful app to have onboard.

Hope this is of use,

Happy unzipping!
Sandy.

Re: A link for the new Voice Take a Picture app.

2015-05-21 Thread Sandratomkins

hi Richard and all,
Having heard the podcast and downloaded and played with the app, just a little, 
I think  Shalin would do  better to drop the Google part of the process. for so 
many reasons, some of which may not have occurred to Shalin, we could all make 
much more use of a text file using voice over to read it and having the ability 
to edit export et cetera. in short, I think this app has great potential and a 
lot of room for improvement, never forgetting the pricetag! iPhones and apps 
are available all round the world, but the significance of an app costing, for 
example, 80/hundred dollars, is sometimes lost on those of us in the more 
affluent countries.

Just my thoughts, Sandy.

First impressions of Voice, Take a picture and have it read.

2015-05-20 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,

Having seen this app mentioned here, I decided, it being free!!! to 
download it and take it for a spin on my 6 running 8.3.

Once I enabled the camera and turned on the flash, I took a shot of a dog 
magazine and then did the same with the KNFB Reader app. I have to tell you 
that, on this one example, this free and tiny app, did as well as the very 
expensive KNFB reader. I am, by the way, not knocking the latter app, merely 
wanting to encourage people to give it a try, especially if the KNFB is too 
pricy for you.

The are a few things that could be improved with the interface. If it were 
possible to simplify and automate rthat than having to press extra buttons, 
such as the "done" button, I would say we have an outstanding winner! Always 
with the proviso that I have only tried it using one example. I liked the way 
that the app told me that all 4 edges were visible without me needing to use a 
"field of view report" button. Plus, I did try opting for the "automatic" 
option in settings, but couldn't see how to use it. The 6 page intro seems a 
bit lacking and I don't understand why, and on this other apps are equally 
guilty, there seems to be a need for multipage introductions, generally saying 
nothing of use and yet requiring the use of the page switching button, a thing 
that often does not work properly.

I shall play with this more, but would like to know, as it is so small, do 
I have to have internet connectivity? Plus, the choice of using VOs built in 
voices would be nice as I, for example, can understand Danniel much easier than 
any other voice.

So, as a first impression I would suggest to anyone to give it a try, costs 
nothing and has been designed for the love of doing it and helping.

Sandy.

Re: How do I improve dictation with Siri

2015-05-19 Thread Sandratomkins

I don't know if this is correct, but having shaken the phone and accepted the 
"delete last typing"you just hit the delete key on the virtual keyboard and 
your last typing will disappear.

What is the easiest way to create group messages?

2015-04-30 Thread Sandratomkins

Hallo the list!

I know that I have created a small group of 3 people in my messages app, 
but a friend of mine, new to the iphone, needs to create a group which would 
send text messages to upwards of 70 people, on a regular basis. Can he do this? 
I am imagining it is possible as it is the sort of thing that one has to do 
when in business or involved in some sort of group project.

What he would need to be able to do is set up the first message, add in all 
the necessary contacts to it, and, from then on, only need to choose that group 
message and all future messages would go to all of the chosen contacts. Can he 
do it?

The poor man is suffering because he is trying to adjust from a Nokea, 
which he is missing like an old friend!

Thanks for any tips,
Sandy.

Re: ARE YOUR KEYBOARD ISSUES COMPLETELY SOLVED!

Carol,

I do have the problem from time to time, but, and I have my fingers crossed 
here, but a tripple tap of the home button, turning off Vo and then another 
tripple tap to turn it back on seems to work for me. Much less bother than what 
you are doing. I am running 8.3 on an iPhone 6 and using an Apple BT keyboard.

Dodgy Apple BT keyboard on/off button!

2015-04-27 Thread Sandratomkins

Hallo,

I have had my BT Apple Wireless keyboard for some years now, However, I 
haven't used it much of late, getting rather good with the dictation function 
on the phone. Well, thinking to brush up on my keyboard skills, I dug it out 
and it stopped working. So, I put some new batteries in and away we went! But, 
and this is intermittent, I am having problems with the on/off button, it can 
take several attempts at working. I was just wondering, does anyone have 
suggestions, in a hardware sort of way, for me to rejuvenate the switch? I am 
thinking, for example, WD40 or some such cure-all?

Thanks for any ideas, I am not at home to just dumping a thing because it 
isn't as young as it once was, who knows, someone might apply the same logic to 
myself! Does anyone know of a human equivalent of WD40?

Sandy.

Re: Blind Mice Mart

2015-04-21 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,

I just managed to register with Blind Mice Mart, which was a long job, so 
many sites, although they purport to deal with hundreds of countries, the 
address field is US centric and one has to faff around with Zip codes and State 
abreviations etc. Anyway, now it is done and I took a look at the Movie Vault. 
I only found about 10 films there, is that all there is or am I missing 
something? plus, my real interest would be to listen to films/TV episodes in 
Italian, is there any chance of this?

Probably, shooting for the moon here...

All info most welcome,

Re: Blind Mice Mart

2015-04-20 Thread Sandratomkins

hi,
I am tempted to try this app out and get an account, but I have two questions: 
firstly, what are the costs involved? secondly, on average, how large are the 
files? I asked this because I am on a severely limited and slow Internet 
connection.

thanks for any info,
Sandy

Got the latest version of Fleksy and it is driving me mad.

2015-04-15 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,

So, I have the latest version of Fleksy and I just can't work it. At this 
point, I am not talking of the typing method, I can't even get that far. It 
seems I am constantly being offered something called Keypad. I have set all 
settings as suggested by Harry, but, even when I find the letters keyboard, 
flicking left does not delete, and to the right, does not say the word and put 
in a space. Flicking only results in moving the cursor from one element, letter 
etc, to another. In other words, I can't get Fleksy to be Fleksy.

I have, on my 4s, Fleksy VO. It works reasonably well. I have, on my 4, the 
original Fleksy and it works. However, on my 6 running 8.3, the app is a total 
mess.

Now, this might be user error. I did read Jonathan's Blog/article on Fleksy 
and he said that Fleksy was working well for him, so, I imagine it is just me 
and that I need someone to talk me through it. Is there anyone out there who 
can get me set up? I would be so grateful.

Fingers crossed,

Frustrated Tomkins.

Hi,

I am trying out my Apple BT keyboard, and, thus far, I am not getting the 
double key issue thing. Are other people finding it is better with 8.3?

Thinking of enrolling on a writing course and need to know that this

Re: what am I doing wrong with the latest fleksy update?

2015-04-13 Thread Sandratomkins

hello Harry,

thanks for this advice! I believe I have done all of these things, but the 
keyboard is still not behaving as flexes should. four example, if I create a 
pattern for a word I just get rubbish. if I swipe left or right I just moved to 
the previous or the next letter. I have tried choosing fLeksy from the switch 
keyboard button but it makes no difference. I have redownloaded the app in case 
it was a bad download.

any more suggestions would be very welcome here!

Re: changes to voiceover with new IOS updates

2015-04-06 Thread Sandratomkins

hello Paul,

although I have an iPhone six running 8.2, I keep alive my old for running 6X 
because only with that version of the iOS can I access the Guardian cryptic 
crossword. this is an online crossword which I can access perfectly and fill in 
the grid. this became impossible using my for S and 7X on the iOS. now, with my 
six running 8.2, it looks like it will work, but after just a short time of 
putting in entries, it completely collapses. so, yes! Different versions of the 
iOS will change our access to different webpages and not always for the better.

just my thoughts and experiences,
Sandy

anyone playing with Bluetooth beacons?

2015-03-16 Thread Sandratomkins

hi,

In the App Store I found an app called Estimote. it is, apparently, an app for 
working with veriest types of Bluetooth beacons. you can also buy both beacons 
and stickers, which are stickable beacons small and thin, to any given 
object/location. I haven't managed to buy any of these yet however. I am just 
at the beginning stage of my research with this app. has anyone else tried it? 
or, perhaps, a different app? it does look like it's something that could be 
incredibly useful for us. it is a mainstream thing, aimed at marketing and 
retailing, and, as such, should stay fairly cheap and reliable. I am thinking 
that we could bend it to fit our purposes. One will also be able to use it with 
the Apple Watch. so, any info out there?

hope to get some responses, and will pass back any feedback I have personally.

Sandy

The speak screen command

2015-02-25 Thread Sandratomkins

hello,

I have just started to use the speak screen command and discovered something 
fairly interesting:to wit, if I try and read a book in, four example, 
iLike2ReadPro, the speak screen command will not work it merely says that no 
content was found to be read.my books in iLike2ReadPro are all text 
format.ordinarily voice-over gestures work perfectly in this app.so, I am 
wondering why the speak screen, and can't see anything in these files.does 
anyone have some sort of technical explanation for this?

Re: KNFB Reader drops to $49.99

2015-01-31 Thread Sandratomkins

hi,
given financial constraints, I would like to say this:if you are someone who is 
well practised at aiming the camera,if you are someone who is used to OCR apps 
and getting good results,then, Prizmo, certainly, gives the KNFB reader a run  
For its  money!but it is a little more fussy to use and doesn't have the same 
guidance that the KN FB reader has.textGrabber is also a brilliant app! And it 
has the added attraction of being really very cheap!indeed, particularly with 
envelopes or upsidedown text et cetera,I often flick from KNFB reader to one of 
the above two and get good results!however, I did already owned these two apps 
so it costs me nothing more to do this.One thing is certain though, the KNFB 
reader has enabled many many more people to get passible if not excellent 
results, whereas, before, they simply didn't.so, turning to the original 
question "is it worth it?"you hath to know yourself and your own capabilities 
to answer this one.if you are not an experienced iPhone/OCR user,then, I think, 
it is worth it especially at this new half price.

just my thoughts, Sandy

Perhaps you could look under settings/General/privacy/location based services 
and allow or disallow Facebook?A word of warning though, having your location 
known on Facebook might be a little bit risky?something to think about anyway…

hi,
I also find that Prizmo is better at reading text when it is

is not up  the right way I get gibberish. anyone else experiencing this with

I would like to remind people that Prizmo is also an excellent app!it is 
cheaper and reads the text as soon as it is recognised just as quickly as the 
KNFB reader does.however, the interface is a little more clunky.I find it is a  
great partner to the K and FB reader.that is, if one doesn't manage very well, 
then, the other probably will.

Re: saving a message

2015-01-27 Thread Sandratomkins

hi,
I just tried the following and it worked.I went into a thread of messages, went 
down to the very bottom where I heard "message editing".(Or something of the 
sort).then I flicked left until I reached the particular message I wanted to 
copy.using the rotor turned into words, I made sure I was at the beginning of 
the message.then I turned the rototill I heard "edit"and I selected copy.now I 
had my message in my clipboard and could paste it wherever I wanted.so, you are 
still copying and pasting but you're not needing to do any tricky gestures to 
expand Textor select something et cetera, which I also find very hit and miss.

Hope this helps, Sandy

Re: [Bulk] Re: 4S Users- did IOS8 degrade your phone?

2015-01-15 Thread Sandratomkins

hi,
Just thought I'd chime in here:I now have a six but after upgrading my for S to 
iOS 8 12, I found that it ran so slowly that when I offered it as a present to 
my partner, who has an old four, he said "no thanks".he said that it Ranzo so 
slowly, even with voice-over off because he doesn't have to use it, That he 
would rather not have the phone at all.so, I think it is fair to say that for 
some of us, at least, running iOS 8 12 on there for S has made the phone much 
less responsive and prone to crashing.

however, this will only capture a small section of text and is restricted to 
that.

I too am looking to find a way to take clips from websites but I cannot find 
any means to do this.also, it has been suggested that a "select all" command 
will help me but I cannot get this to work when in the website.I press command 
a nothing seems to happen unless it's happening and voice-over is not 
announcing it…

any and all help from those who are having success would be gratefully received

Re: hilighting and selecting and copying a text with the Apple keyboard.

2015-01-09 Thread Sandratomkins

Terry,
Not sure if I'm understanding exactly what you want here, but I will throw in 
my two pennyworths:if you want to  edit or extract text from an email message, 
four example, you can opt to reply to that message which will then put the 
cursor at the beginning of the new message in new reply that you are editing 
see you can then use the rotor to find edit and then select all and carry on 
from there. Obviously you don't have toactually reply you can always cancel but 
you you would have added to the clipboard that which you were looking 
for.another way, and this one I can use, once in an edit field or even in a 
message not in reply mode, if I'd just touch the centre of the screen to draw 
attention to even just one word of text or even just one letter of text and 
then slide two fingers apart on the screen I might get that letter or word, 
depending on the mode on the rotor, selected. Once I have something selected, I 
can then find edit on the rotor and work away from there.

Hope this helps and is vaguely clear,
Sandy

Re: Good color identifying apps

2015-01-06 Thread Sandratomkins

Neil,
Do keep practising, this really is an excellent app and I've used it for a few 
years now on a four for S and our six.indeed, with the six I am being 
challenged!I got so used it before and before S their size et cetera, but now 
I'm finding I am a little less accurate with six being a bigger phone with more 
latitude for  misalignment.as far as "true" colours are concerned, it is a moot 
point because colour really varies according to light.A shadow will not only 
change the colour to something darker but it may change it intentive make it 
more blue on more red et cetera.I have found the CamFind is best at saying blue 
red brown green rather than going into euphoric descriptions of multiple shaded 
colours.Plus, I took a shot of our Christmas tree and it said "green Christmas 
tree with Christmas decorations and Santa Claus".so, for complex pictures it is 
really useful!finally, if you want to identify a product if you can get some 
label into the camera view you have a very good chance of it being identified 
but  when you take these shots you have to try and get the camera to focus 
primarily on the object you wish to identify rather than within a general 
scene. So, close-up!

good luck!
Sandy

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader

2015-01-03 Thread Sandratomkins

Siegard,

Firstly, please excuse my typing, Siri is not working for me, and so I 
hagve been reduced to the keyboard, but the phone is misbehaving, not allowing 
me to edit, and talking over the top of my typing. A Thermomix is a fabulous 
madhine, and, indeed, you dcan find one in most Italian houses, it is also big 
in Australia. I know this is off topic for the list, but I am allowing myself a 
bit of post Xmas advertising, as I reckon that this machine, which has turned 
me into a gourmet cook. And, I was awful before.

As for the recipes, yes, they are on the website, but that is a bit like 
saying, here is the ook, isn't that enough? I am trying out Indian cuisine at 
the moment, and want the original recipes.

Kitchen Goddess, Sandy.

Re: Requesting Suggestions On Scanning A Large Paperback Book WithThe KNFB Reader

2015-01-03 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,

A Thermomix is a super kitchen machine and is, in my opinion a true 
liverator to

for blind cooks, but rather expensive. Now, a tip for scanning with the KNFB 
reder and the Stand Scan Pro, if you don't want to damage the spine of the 
gook, I would suggest scanning one page at a time, You dan hold the other side 
of the book virtically, so as to allow the scanning sheet to sit flat. Now, I 
have noticed that KNFB does not do so well if the print is upsidedown, and, 
using this method, every other page will he updidedown, so, do try Prizmo as  
well..

 Good luck, Sandy.

Hi,

I have a book in VoiceStream reader, but I find it difficult to read in a 
detailed manner and navigate with ease in this app.it is probably my fault, but 
what I want to know is this:how can I export the entire book into another app 
such as iLike2ReadPro?

Thanks for any suggestions,

there will be the odd error.these errors are so slight that if I was scanning

Re: K-NFB Reader and the 4S

2014-12-01 Thread Sandratomkins

Hello,

I have it running on my for S and it Scans pretty well.if I try and edit the 
document I may have problems but this is true right across-the-board when I'm 
using my Bluetooth keyboard and the latest iOS 8 11.all in all I would go for 
it because you would have it for the future as well but it will work now on 
your for S assuming you don't have some strange app  configurations  which 
changes things but nobody can know about that kind of thing…hope this helps,
Sandy

Re: moderator warning - Re: starting with IOs 8.1.1

2014-11-27 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,

I should like to add my voice to that of Pablo.I too felt somewhat pushed to 
update my for S.The unwanted update had been downloaded to my phone against my 
desires and was  sitting using up the last bit of available space there.I 
could, of course, have deleted it, but it would've downloaded again!add to this 
the fact that I have severely restricted bandwidth  and have no desire to 
download gigs of up dates dthat I don't want.I certainly don't want and cannot 
have this occurring on a repeated basis.Apple is in the wrong here.we should be 
able to downgrade if we find it necessary and we should be able to tick a box 
which says we will only download an update manually.for these reasons I would 
argue that Pablo has been completely correct throughout with regard to these  
policies re updating.

As far as moderation is concerned:I would have thought, given the blurb at the 
bottom of every email, that it would be better had you spent your time 
discouraging people from entering into a feeding frenzy of insulting remarks 
aimed at people who are discontented with the service Apple is in many ways 
foisting upon us.instead, I see you have joined in…

Alan,

I have Fleksy VOR, proudly sitting in the dock of my iPhone for S, and I have 
updated to version 8.1.I am sorry to tell you that for me, at least, Fleksy VO 
is not usable.I was one of the early adopters of this app and would love to see 
it working at least as well as it did when it first came out.

Fingers crossed,

Using dictation in emails

2014-10-27 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,
Well, I have dated my for S2 8.1 a few days ago.I had been carefully monitoring 
this list in anticipation of bugs, but have been sadly disappointed with how 
badly the dictation function is working under the new I S.notice things are 
going wrong, perhaps, the worst one is that many of my words are being put 
together.for example, if I write the words at the end of a sentence and then 
begin the next sentence with the word it, The space is taken out and the editor 
sees what I have written as an Internet link.visually, I am told, this shows up 
as a highlighted link, but also when read out loud voice-over says "link".it 
even reads this way when forwarded to A PC.Plus, when I was forwarding a 
message and then changed my mind, I hit the cancel button only to find that 
voice-over has registered that as hitting the send button and my message was 
sent.further, when I dictate, I do not get voice-over reading, nicely, my 
dictated text, but, rather, I get what little sounds noisy some words and I 
have no idea if I have been heard a right.I had thought that I had heard all 
the worst bugs and I waited to be sure that I could cope with them.however, 
nobody really mentioned these bugs, perhaps, it is my for S? But this phone was 
working perfectly and 7.12 prior to the update.to remind people, the for S is 
supported in this update.I don't have a computer, are use my phone all my 
communication needs and this is a serious problem for me!
All the best,
Sandy

Re: Searching a webpage with Safari?

You could always try using the item chooser which is activated with a two 
finger triple tap.
Good luck, Sandy

Re: was Re: Is it time to upgrade? now is bug with email attachments IOS 8.1

2014-10-25 Thread Sandratomkins

Hi,
I tried this yesterday and it worked for me: in an email with three attachments 
at the bottom, I touched the bottom of the screen where it says 
Mark/Move/archive/reply et cetera.I flipped left from leftand I found myself 
positioned over the third attachment.from there I could flick to the other 
attachments and I could double tap on any of them and begin the process of 
downloading/opening et cetera.

HTH, Sandy

Homesharing

2014-10-22 Thread Sandratomkins

Hello the list,
I have just updated to 8.1 on my for S.when I went to the App Store I was asked 
if I wished to initiate homesharing.now, like everyone else, I am used to the 
old system whereby myself and my partner can share ET cetera.he is not going to 
update, indeed, he is running an iPhone for and iOS six.it is however his 
details and card details that we use for buying apps et cetera.so, what I want 
to know is this: if I choose not to use homesharing will we lose all our 
previous sharing functionality or should I go for homesharing in which case 
will it be me who is the administrator?in general, it is me who buys apps 
rather than him, who tends to use his phone primarily for email and as phone.I 
need to understand the best way to go as soon as possible as his fingers are 
drumming the table wanting to update on Navigon maps which are free at the 
moment!I don't have Nant y glyn on my phone any more, but may reinstall it…

Thanks for any info/suggestions,
Sandy
