Audio Description On Dish

2018-08-13 Thread Scott Rumery

Hello,


I would like to hear from anyone who has Dish for their television 
service in regards to being able to access audio description on those 
programs that offer it.



We have been using Dish for almost a year now and for the most part we 
are satisfied with it with one major exception. For some reason any 
programs that are on TBS or TNT that have description we do not get the 
description. There are 3 shows that my wife and I are most interested in 
on these channel. On TBS The Big Bang Theory andSeinfeld(which I have 
just learned is described), and on TNT Law and Order.



I keep trying to get the described versions on these shows but as of now 
I have never been able to get the described versions of these shows. 
What is strange is that on any other channel where there is a show with 
audio description it works just fine.



I have talked several times to Dish about this but as of yet they have 
not fixed this for us.



So my question to the group is: is there anyone on the list that has 
Dish that is able to get audio description to work on either TBS or TNT?



Thank You,



Scott

Sharing Aira

2018-05-04 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello, as the discussion began yesterday about Aira  I mentioned that I was 
going to be signing up with the service end that  after   doing so I would then 
 share a referral link that  if someone  was to click on the link end then they 
 signed up for their own account  we would both get a free month of service. If 
you are  interested in becoming an Aira explorer  then   please use this  
referral   link.

Yes I just spoke with Marty from Aira and he informed me that you can
add 100 minutes for $50 whenever you needed to. Right now I am waiting
for their customer care department to call me back so that I can sign
up for the service.

2018-05-03 Thread Scott Rumery
Hi Linda,

The name of the company is Aira pronounced "Eye Ra".

I am actually going to be signing up for the service today and if you
or anyone else on the list are interested I can share a referral link
that if you use it when you sign up for the service will get us both a
free month of the service.

The pricing for Aira is as follows:

100 minutes per month for $89

200 minutes per month for $129

400 minutes per month for $199

Unlimited minutes per month for $329

I know that it sounds like a lot of money to pay but if you really
think about the service that they are providing it really doesn't seem
that high to me. I know that for my wife and me we will get a lot of
use out of this service as there are a lot of times during the month
that we have to ask one of our sighted friends or family members to
either come over to our house to help us or to use Face Time on the
iPhone to help us.

I am going to be signing up with the 200 minute plan to start, but if
we need more time (which seems unlikely) I can change it later. Also,
keep in mind that if you find that you are not using all of your
minutes in the month you can then downgrade your service unless you
are already on the lowest tier plan. I believe that if you use all of
your minutes in a given month that you can then purchase more time but
as of right now I do not know how much it cost to add time to the
current month.

I hope that this information is helpful, and please let me know if you
are interested in getting a referral link as I will then share it with
you.

I hope that everyone has a great day!

Hello Everyone,

With the beginning of the Major League Baseball season tomorrow I
wanted to let all of the baseball fans on the list know about a What's
App group that I have created for the purpose of meeting other
baseball fans in order to share our love for this great game. The name
of the group is simply "Baseball Talk" and it is open to anyone who
would like to get together with other fans and talk about whatever is
happening in the world of baseball.

If anyone is interested in becoming a part of this group just send me
a message off list and I will get you all set up so that we can all
enjoy some spirited baseball related conversations over the next
several months.

Thank You,

Re: iPhone X and first impressions...

2017-12-04 Thread Scott Rumery
Hi Ed,


I couldn’t agree with you more about the iPhone X. I have been using mine for 2 
weeks now and every time I pick it up I am just amazed at hoe much I love using 
it. There is a little bit of a learning curve with this phone but after you 
have it for an hour or so that learning curve will be no more. Even my wife who 
is also blind was very nervous about using an iPhone without a Home button but 
she took right to it very quickly.

I am having one issue with it however. I cannot seem to use the AppStore with 
FaceID or for that matter when I set up ApplePay Cash earlier on my iPhone X I 
couldn’t use FaceID for that either
 . When I try and use it with FaceID on VoiceOver will say Double Click to 
Install or Double Click to pay but when I do that nothing happens. Are you able 
to use these with FaceID on your phone?

Is Roomba Accessible?

2017-12-04 Thread Scott Rumery
Good Morning,

I am interested in getting an Roomba vacuum cleaner for our house for 
Christmas. Does anyone on the list have one and if so which model would be best 
for a house with 2 German Sheppards. Also, is the app accessible with VoiceOver 
and what about setting it up when it is first taken out of the box? Both my 
wife and I are blind and we do not have any sighted help in the house so I 
would have to get the unit set up on my own. Any help with this would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Re: The Dish Anywhere App

2017-12-01 Thread Scott Rumery
Hi Regina,

Yes I know about the screen reader on Dish and I do use it in the living room 
but our 2 other tvs do not have the screen reader even though I was told when I 
called Dish to inquire about their service that we would have the screen reader 
functionality in every room with a tv.

It is true that in the living room I can use the guide and it is very slow to 
go through all of the channels but I would like to be able to quickly view thee 
listings in an app because this would be much quicker.

I am going to keep bugging Dish about the poor accessibility of their app until 
they decide that it would be better for them to just make it usable for all of 
their customers.

More On Dish

2017-11-29 Thread Scott Rumery
Ok, I have some more to report about Dish. I have been working with them all 
afternoon on several issues and I will try and outline them in this message.


First issue:

When I called Dish last Saturday to ask them about the service I asked the 
representative if I would be able to have the text to speech feature in our 
bedroom and my office as well as having it in the living room. He told me that 
I would and that was the main reason why I decided to make the switch from 
DirectTV at this time.

Well after spending more than an hour and a half in a chat session with another 
representative trying to enable this feature I finally gave up and decided to 
wait until we had some sighted help which happened shortly there after.

Our friends did not see any accessibility option on the bedroom tv so I then 
called Dish and inquired again about this feature. Are you ready for this? Yes 
that is right. It is not possible to have text to speech on one of the tvs 
connected with a Joey, only on the Hopper in the living room.

It was at this point that I kind of raised my voice and expressed my extreme 
displeasure with basically be lead to believe that we would have this 
capability with Dish.

I was then transferred over to an account resolutions specialist(I just love 
these bogus titles) He then confirmed to me that this feature is not currently 
possible.

I then told him that I was going to go back over to DirectTv because I was very 
very unhappy with Dish at this point.

Second Issue:

I then asked him about Audio Description. I told him that I have enabled it on 
the Hopper but that we have yet received any Audio Description with programs 
that I know have a descriptive track.

He was going to transfer me over to tech support but I told him that this 
wouldn’t work right now because I did not know if there were currently any 
shows on that have description. I told him that tonight when I know that there 
is a show on with description that I would enable the feature and if I still do 
not get the description that I would call back so that we could troubleshoot 
this.

Final Issue:

I then told him about the inadequate accessibility of the Dish Anywhere app. 
More specifically I explained how when viewing the guide in the app the channel 
numbers are shown but not the name of the channel or what is currently on a 
particular channel.

I told him the way that this information should be displayed is with the 
channel number followed by the name of the network and finally with the name of 
the current program.

He did write everything down and submit it ti the team working on the app.

Conclusion:

I am pretty sure that I am going to go back to DirectTv because the audio 
description was not an issue with them. It was a very big mistake for me to 
switch to Dish.

Does anyone on the list who uses Dish have any luck with get audio description? 
I would love to know if it is everyone with Dish that does not get description 
or if it is just me or my area.

Thank You for reading this and I hope that everyone has a great evening.

Re: The Dish Anywhere App

2017-11-29 Thread Scott Rumery
Hi Regina,

Yes I know about the screen reader on Dish and I do use it in the living room 
but our 2 other tvs do not have the screen reader even though I was told when I 
called Dish to inquire about their service that we would have the screen reader 
functionality in every room with a tv.

It is true that in the living room I can use the guide and it is very slow to 
go through all of the channels but I would like to be able to quickly view thee 
listings in an app because this would be much quicker.

I am going to keep bugging Dish about the poor accessibility of their app until 
they decide that it would be better for them to just make it usable for all of 
their customers.

The Dish Anywhere App

2017-11-29 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello,

I have recently moved our tv subscription from DirecT over to Dish. This was 
done for many reasons but the main reason was with Dish we have a much lower 
monthly bill and the price is locked in for 2 years.

I am so far very disappointed in the Dish Anywhere app which is the app that 
Dish subscribers use for accessing their dvr recordings and for viewing the TV 
guide. The main thing that I would like to be able to do with this app is to 
bring up the guide and see what is currently on. I would also like to use the 
guide in the app to learn the location of the channels that we watch. The 
trouble is that when in the app with the guide tab selected Dish Anywhere will 
only show the number of the channel and not the name of the network. To get 
this information you must double tap on the channel number and then that 
channel will begin to play. I would like to know if anyone else on the list 
uses Dish and if so, have you had any success using the Dish Anywhere app. If 
not, does anyone on the list have any suggestions as to an accessible app for 
viewing tv listings on Dish?

Thank You for any help with this.

Re: Direct TV app

2017-02-20 Thread Scott Rumery
I can tell you that the accessibility of the DirectTv app for me is very good. 
I am able to browse the guide and the On Demand sections very well. As for the 
Talking Guide feature of the Genie receiver, this is something that as of 
December 20th we have had access to and it works well as well although I find 
it to be rather annoying at times because it can be a little hard to understand 
and when I want to get it to stop talking it doesn’t seem to want to stop. 
Having said this, I am glad that we do have the Talking Guide as an option but 
it does need quite a bit of improvements. One more thing to consider is that if 
you have a television in another room like a bedroom the only tv that will have 
the Talking Guide is the room where the mane receiver is. I have talked with 
DirectTv and I told them that this is not acceptable because this means that a 
blind person cannot easily access the information on all of the tv's in their 
house and as a paying customer of their service we should be able to use the 
Talking Guide feature on any tv in our homes. They of course gave me the canned 
response of “we are planning on putting out an update that will make this 
possible in the near future.”

I don’t know about what their definition of near future is, but this was back 
in December that I was told this and still I cannot access the Talking Guide on 
any other tv in our house accept for the one in the living room.

I hope that all this will help with your decision.

Finally Took The Plunge

2017-01-04 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello,

Well after finally getting a chance to hold and play with a friends Apple Watch 
I have taken the plunge and purchased one for myself. I had a few problems at 
first with getting it to pare with my iPhone but I must say that after finally 
getting the watch all set up I am loving wearing a watch on my wrist again.

One thing that I want to do is to change the watch band. Is there anyone on the 
list who has an Apple Watch and that has been able to successfully changed the 
watch band? I can’t seem to figure out how to get the one that is currently on 
the watch off so that I can put my new band on.

Thank You for any help on this.

I Thought That Some Might Be Interested To Hear This

the iPhone more than 3 years ago and I am very proud of her.

 Tomorrow (Monday, February 23), Brie Rumery of Fedora Outlier will be our 
 featured guest on Branco Broadcast at 3:00 p.m. Eastern, 2:00 Central, 1:00 
 Mountain, and 12:00 Pacific Time.  Fedora Outlier assists people with today’s 
 computer technology in many ways.  To participate on Branco Broadcast, please

 Bronwyn “Brie” Rumery is a Junior Partner along with being the Public 
 Relations/Social Media Liaison for Fedora Outlier, LLC. She is also the 
 co-author of Fedora’s “Old Hat Guide to iPhone Accessibility” e-books and 
 also moderates a weekly interactive Twitter chat entitled, #AccessChat-A 
 Twitter Chat Committed to Access.
 
  
 
 Fedora Outlier, LLC was founded in June of 2012 by Managing Partner VaShaun 
 Jones and it is the nation’s first provider of consulting, teaching and 
 support for Apple’s range of accessible technologies (including the Mac, 
 iPhone and iPad), Fedora Outlier, LLC, partners with private consumers, 
 agencies and government organizations to provide better than excellent 
 products and services to encourage, equip and empower users to do more with 
 their technology.
 
  
 
 The entire team, including Brie, are either blind or visually impaired and 
 use some or all of Apple’s products on a daily basis. Therefore, the 
 knowledge and experience she and her fellow colleagues offer their clients is 
 not only innovative but “Top Down Better Than Excellent.”
 
  
 
 Brie’s claim to fame at the firm is the fact that she suffers from 
 technophobia and that there was a time that she was quite terrified to even 
 think about learning how to use an iPhone. Thus, the first e-book for the 
 firm was conceived which is a true depiction of Brie’s journey from being 
 “scared to death” to becoming not only a loyal iOS fan but an experienced 
 teacher as well.
 
  
 
 Brie is also proud to be the moderator of a weekly interactive chat entitled, 
 “#AccessChat-A Twitter Chat Committed To Access,” which takes place on 
 Tuesday evenings via Twitter at 8:00 PM Eastern. This chat allows the 
 blindness community the opportunity to interact with individuals, 
 organizations or brands that are making and continue to make a difference 
 within the blindness community.
 
  
 
 When Brie is not busy working she enjoys spending time in Jasper, Georgia 
 with her husband Scott, daughter Makayla and their two German Shepherd 
 Fidelco guide dogs. She also enjoys writing short stories  poetry, crafting, 
 listening to various types of music and of course playing word games on her 
 iPhone.

2014-11-04 Thread Scott Rumery
I keep getting the same message and I have learned enough over the years to 
never and I mean never click on a link in an email such as this. The best thing 
to do in this case is to delete the message and then go into the Appstore and 
try and purchase an app. If your account is truly locked then you will be 
prompted for more information in order to unlock it.

 Hello, I have a question for all of you on the VI phone list.
 So I keep getting this email, and it says your Apple online access has been 
 temporarily locked quote click here to confirm it and unlock then, it 
 wants my username, and password. Then it want my credit card number, which 
 to me seemed a little bit suspicious, so I did not go any further. And I'm 
 about to change my password. I would like to know if anyone can tell me if 
 this is a real legitimate email or not? Do I need to confirm my account with 
 them or is this just a hoax? Also The strangest part, was that it opens up 
 and IP address, instead of ID.apple.com. So I'm kind of concerned about 
 this.and they sort of don't know what to do with it. Just to see what would 
 happen to see if it would prompt me for the other message it did with the 
 credit card number, I did click the link and I saw where it said this 
 account has been suspended and nothing else. Awfully strange. I would think 
 that if Apple wanted to suspend my account, I couldn't download from the app 
 store. I just downloaded a dark room for the app store so something really 
 strange is going on. Sorry if there are any errors in this message, I am 
 dictating to my iPhone at this point and I do apologize if there are any 
 mess ups LOL. Thank you all for your help, I do appreciate it. Should I 
 maybe call Apple and conferment? Just out of wonder and again I do 
 appreciate all of your help. Jerry Mader

Hi John,

I contacted KNFB about  this issue just last week and they told me that there 
will be an update coming out soon to deal with this issue. As a matter of fact 
I remember seeing on their Twitter feed just last week that they have already 
submitted the update to Apple, so it is just a matter of waiting for Apple to

 I have one into settings and measure the camera was allowed.
 The app will come up but voiceover is extremely extremely sluggish so makes 
 the app not usable.
 What can I do about this that I cannot think of?
 I have reset all settings.

Sluggishness With KNFB Reader

2014-09-26 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello,

Well I finally got my hands on the KNFB Reader app and I am just a little 
frustrated at this point so I am in hopes of finding someone who has 
experienced the same sluggishness with their version as I have with mine.

I have installed it on both my iPhone 6 plus and my wife’s iPhone 6 4.7 inch. 
On my phone VoiceOver is very slow to react to my gestures but on my wife’s 
phone it is very quick.

On my phone I cannot get Tilt guidance to turn on but on my wife’s phone it 
came on just fine.

Let me say this though. After taking several pictures of various documents I am 
very pleased with the results, I just would like to know if there is anything 
that I can do to resolve the issues that I am having with it on my iPhone 6 
plus.

Is there anyone on the list that has had this problem and if so, were you able 
to fix them?

Scott Rumery

Re: Sluggishness With KNFB Reader

2014-09-26 Thread Scott Rumery
I just had an email response from KNFB Reader support that told me that they 
know about the issue and that they are investigating the latency issues with 
the interface and will have an update to the app soon that will fix the issue.

He also told me that the latency is due to the camera access that the app 
needs. If you go to Settings/Privacy and disable the camera access for the app 
you will notice that the latency issue goes away, but this will also mean that 
the app does not work because without camera access we cannot take pictures of 
our documents.

I guess that this  means that we will have to wait until the update comes out.

 Hi, all,
 I've done this several times reliably, so I'm going to outline it here, since 
 there's been some discussion of it in recent threads.
 
 Turn on VO sounds. This will make it easier to detect audio feedback while 
 moving. Find the app you want to move. Press VO-shift-M. Voiceover will say 
 moving and the name of the app. Use the arrow keys to move the app. VO will 
 announce your position and say is editing. Go to the page indicator. It's 
 easiest to use the up and down arrow keys instead of option-arrows to move 
 from page to page. I haven't been able to get the second method to work while 
 in edit mode.
 
 Once you get to a folder, simply press the VO-shift-M command again. VO will 
 say opening folder and the name of the folder. Now your app should be nside 
 the folder you've specified.

 Teresa

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility

2014-06-18 Thread Scott Rumery
I find this crap absolutely unacceptable and I would suggest that we all should 
send them a complaint message. If we just say something like, Oh well, I guess 
that I just won't use their app or service anymore then they will get away with 
treating us like this and there is no way that any company should treat any 
segment of the public like this. I think that this Warren should be fired but 
of coarse he did not give his last name. Just like a coward.

 This was a reply from Pandora tech support to a blind user. I happen to know

 So, this reply is totally unacceptable. I no longer have Pandora, and will

 Yeah yeah, we know we know. You're not the first blind dude who's written

Not as of right now but we are exploring ways in which we can archive these 
AccessChats.

As for an audio demonstration on the AGOGO app I haven't been able to find any 
as of yet and right now Fedora Outlier does not plan on doing any of these kind 
of shows mostly due to the fact that we are really focussing on our newly 
released Mac Master Series online coarse for learning how to use VoiceOver on 
the mac.

Shop Until You Drop, There's An App For That

2014-04-11 Thread Scott Rumery
Good Friday morning everyone,

If you are someone like myself who likes to shop for that new gadget or maybe 
you need a new pair of earbuds for your iPhone or even if you just would like 
to purchase something for the home from Amazon or Target then you will 
definitely  enjoy reading this weeks edition of There's An App For That. I 
think that Brie has really outdone herself with this weeks post so won't you 
please take a few minutes out of your busy day and come on over and check it 
out?

To read the entire post just go to: 
http://www.fedoraoutlier.com/Shop-Until-You-Drop

If you have any ideas for a category of app that you would like Brie to cover 
for a future There's An App For That post you can send it to 
b...@fedoraoutlier.com

Thank you for reading and I truly hope that everyone has a great weekend.

Scott

Re: This Weeks There's An App For That

2014-04-01 Thread Scott Rumery
Thank you linda for your kind words.

Actually, I have to be honest and let you know that the person on our team that 
deserves all of the credit for these posts is my wife Brie who does the 
research and on the apps and then writes up the weekly blog post. I agree that 
she is doing a great job with these and I have passed your message on to her 
with a suggestion that she look for some apps based on what you are looking for 
that she can put in a future There's An App For That blog post.

If you would like to email her personally in the future with your kind words

 Hi Scott, 
 
 Thank you very much for taking the time to research apps and post the info
 to the list. I have passed several messages along to friends that are not on
 the list. Keep the posts coming. 
 
 If you are looking for an entertainment topic to research, I would be very
 interested in knowing if there is an app that that allows users to look up
 biographical information about various band members etc. 
 
 Have a great day, 
 
 Lynda

 I wouldn't worry about it.  Some people aren't happy unless they have

iOS 7.1 Won't Download

2014-03-10 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello I can't seem to get the iOS 7.1 update to download. I am doing the update 
through iTunes because my phone was jailbroken and I am assuming that this may 
be the cause of my trouble.

When I choose to restore and update my iPhone it will get to about 40% and then 
iTunes will give me a message saying that my network connection has been reset 
and that I will need to try the update again. This happens every time. Has 
anyone else had this issue and if so were you able to solve the problem?

Hello everyone,

My wife Brie has written up this weeks edition of There's An App For That and I 
thought that if you were interested that I would put the link here so that you 
can go and check it out.

If you have any ideas as to the type of apps that you would like to see a 
future post on then please let me know and I will pass it along to Brie. Each 
week there will be an app category that she will choose 5 apps for and this 
week the subject is Word Games so click on this link and give it a read.

A Bit Surprised That This Hasn't Made It To The List Yet

2014-02-20 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello everyone,

As my subject line says I am quite surprised that the news of Fleksy finally 
becoming an option for app developers to use for inputing information in their 
apps has not been talked about on this list yet. Is it because a lot of us have 
decided that because the makers of Fleksy have sort of turned their backs on 
the blindness community by abandoning their initial claims of making a 
revolutionary on screen keyboard solution that the blind can use to speed up 
their typing on an touch screen device? In my opinion I find this decision  
deplorable but if there is a solution that is out there such as the one that 
they offer in Fleksy VO that can make my life easier when it comes to using an 
on screen keyboard then I will use it, and now that more apps will be updating 
and making use of the Fleksy SDK that just came out of beta today, I will 
probably use it even more often than I have been.

I have written a blog post on this subject that I invite you all to read in 
which you can read the Fleksy press release if you like and I even link to 
Jonathan' Mosen's blog post on the subject of Fleksy VO as well.

Please if you have a few minutes go give it a read and then let me know what 
you think. I really do want to get everyone's opinion on this, even the 
negative ones. It will all help me to understand what it is that iOS users will 
find interesting and want to read.

The Time Is Finally Here For The Number One App!

2014-01-31 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello everyone,

It is finally time for Fedora Outlier to reveal the app that is at number one 
on our top ten of 2013 list. All of us here at Fedora Outlier have had a blast 
putting this list together and the response from the blindness community has 
been overwhelming. We really do appreciate each and everyone of you who have 
taken the time to read these blog posts each day, and yes to acknowledge that 
there were a few of you that did not like these messages on this list. To those 
who feel this I would say that I am sorry if our daily messages caused you any 
trouble, but at Fedora Outlier we are trying to build a company that everyone 
in the blindness community can be proud of.

I would also like to think my good friend Mike Malarsie of How To Be Blind for 
agreeing to sponsor this campaign. We simply asked him if he would sponsor this 
campaign and without hesitation he agreed.

Without further ado here is the link to read about the number one app on our 
countdown.

We Are Almost There And The App That Came In Second Is One That We All Love

2014-01-29 Thread Scott Rumery
Okay everyone,

We only have 2 apps left on our countdown of the top ten apps of 2013 as voted 
on by those of you that took part in our survey. As the subject line says the 
app that just missed the number one position is an app that most of us if not 
all of us have used at one point or another. I am sure that you can guess which 
app is at number 2, but if you still aren't sure just go to the page with the 
post on this app to find out for sure what the app at number 2 is.

Writing WithBraille On iOS

2014-01-27 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello All,

Here is the app that made it to number four on our countdown of the top ten 
apps of 2013.

I think that you all can guess what this app is just by looking at the subject 
line. For those of us that use Braille on a regular basis this app is a 
definite must have for our iOS devices. Again, I am sorry for those that would 
like me to reveal the name in this message, but I have been told by my team 
leader not to and his reasons make perfect sense to me.

Without a due  here is the link:

responding to this message I changed the subject line.

Re: Taking a walk? Don't leave home without this!

2014-01-26 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello Christopher,

As the Senior Partner at Fedora Outlier I thought long and hard about having 
anybody from the firm posting about these daily blogs to this list just because 
I was worried about this type of negative reaction. Our team has been working 
very hard on this list and you are 100% correct when you say that we are trying 
to get some attention for our website. If I am not mistaken this is what is 
done every day on the Internet, and because our list is talking about iOS apps 
I thought that there would be some people on this list that might enjoy reading 
our posts.

Let me clue everyone into how this list has developed. Each one of our team 
members picked one of the apps in the list and then wrote up a post about that 
app. This way we were assured of having very different styles of writing which 
in my opinion would make for some interesting reading. I believe that we have 
accomplished this.

When you make the statement that this list has a drum role feel to it you hit 
the nail right on the head. This is the whole point of any kind of a countdown.

Finally, everyone on this list or any other list in which people post blog snip 
its  in order to get people to go to their websites have the right not to click 
that link or to just delete the post, however, I do not think that it is fair 
for those of us who are working very hard on trying to create content that 
hopefully the community will like, should be ridiculed for just trying to get 
noticed.

I have said my peace on this and I would hope that others on this list will not 
hold my words against me if I have said anything in this message to offend 
them. Believe me, if I did then I apologize  because it was not my intent.

 I don’t think anyone here is trying to put down the work you guys have done,

 However, this:

 says nothing except that you only had time to type up a sentence and then 
 paste the link. This:

 makes me really want to know more, because that sounds like a great app and I 
 want to know what else you have to say about it.
 
 To be very clear: I have no problem whatsoever with you guys posting these 
 app picks here, and I even welcome it as it lets newer list members in on 
 some possibly useful tools for them to go try. However, when is the last time 
 you clicked a link because someone basically said “click this link”? I never 
 do, and I’m sure most people don’t, because I have absolutely no idea what 
 the link goes to and if it is worth it. Giving us just a one-sentence summary 
 of the app, and the app’s name, provides that missing information and will, 
 it seems to me, make people more likely to click through to the website. 
 Maybe I’m off base here, but those are my opinions. Again, I’m more than fine 
 with you guys posting content like this, and would suggest doing it more than 
 once a year, but you may want to look at how you are trying to draw people in.

Wanted To Share

2014-01-10 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello All,

I know that this list is here to discuss everything iPhone and even though this 
message does not specifically talk about anything that would make using an 
iPhone easier or give you any tips on any good and accessible apps I would 
still like to share our news with you.

If you have already heard about this then I apologize for taking up your time 
but for those that are not one of our newsletter or blog subscribers I would 
like to tell you about a 3 question survey that we have set up. It is called 
The Number One App Of 2013. We are asking folks to go to this website and take 
our very easy 3 question survey so that we can compile a list of the top ten 
apps of 2013. Once we have compiled the list we will be sending out a 
newsletter and a blog post once a day beginning on January 21 until the 31st 
with each post telling you all about that days app. Obviously we will start at 
number 1- and then work our way down to number 1.

To date we have had a very good response from the community in regards  to this 
survey but I know that we can do even better and I would like to have as many 
responses as possible for this list so that we can get an accurate 
representation of the apps that people are using.

To join us in this survey just go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RPRHF9S 
and answer the 3 questions for us.

I thank you for your assistance with this and I hope that you all have an 
absolutely awesome Friday.

Re: iOS7 Jailbreak Released

2014-01-08 Thread Scott Rumery
Hi Chris,

I applied this jailbreak last week and all seems fine to me. BTW, does anyone 
have a good list of tweaks that can get a new jail breaker started?

Thanks for any suggestions.

 Subject: iOS7 Jailbreak Released
 
 Hi,
 
 Just a quick message to let everyone know that as of around a day ago
 iOS7 is jailbreakable; it was released at very short notice and with a
 healthy dose of drama as per usual.
 I would suggest that people wait a few days before jailbreaking their
 devices so we are able to gage the reliability of the jailbreak; this
 has always been my recommendation for jailbreaks but it is more
 important with this one than previous ones due to a potentially
 incompatible version of Cydia. Having said this, I intend to jailbreak
 an iPad running 7 later today and will report back once done.
 
 For those of you wanting to give it a go, visit http://evasi0n.com/ to
 get started.
 
 Some frequently asked questions relating to jailbreaking and some
 things to bare in mind:
 
 1: Before applying the jailbreak make sure that you updated to iOS7
 through iTunes as opposed to the over the air method.
 2: Perform a backup via iTunes or iCloud just to be safe.
 3: Voiceover is unaffected.
 4: If something doesn't work out or if you don't like your phone being
 jailbroken you can restore through iTunes to undoo it.
 5: Jailbreaking does void your warranty. It is however worth baring in
 mind that if your phone is still usable enough that iTunes sees it,
 you can simply restore it to a non jailbroken iOS7 and Apple will not
 know that you were previously jailbroken.
 6: Jailbreaking brings lots of benefits; have a Google or read some of
 the previous posts on this list or Applevis to get an idea of the
 possibilities.
 
 Cheers,
 Ben.

Re: New 5s, please help

2013-12-02 Thread Scott Rumery
It is very easy to do this. When you are setting up your new phone make sure to 
choose to set up from an iCloud backup and as long as you have been using 
iCloud to back up your phone all of your apps and settings will be brought on 
over to the new phone.

Have fun playing with your new iPhone.

 I currently have an iPhone 4S and my new iPhone 5s, and running Windows 7 and

 I haven't even got iTunes installed, so know this is my first step. But can

Re: New 5s, please help

2013-12-02 Thread Scott Rumery
Contacts and apps it will do, I am not sure about the photos though. It depends 
if your iCloud settings are set so that your photos are backed up to iCloud. 
Remember, that iCloud isn’t actually hosting all of your content it is only 
taking a periodic snapshot of your device so that when you request the info the 
service can get it for you.

Does this make any sense?

 I'm sure that's a stupid question.

Re: Info about the Radium Music app and XM.

2013-11-28 Thread Scott Rumery
I have been having some real trouble getting Radium to work with my Sirius XM 
account. I know that the username and password that I am entering is correct 
because on the computer I can go to the SiriusXm website and log into my 
account but whenever I try and log into this account from the Radium interface 
it says that the authentication has failed. Does anyone have any idea as to why 
I am having this trouble?

Scott
On Nov 28, 2013, at 4:39 PM, Kevin Minor kmi...@windstream.net wrote:

 Hi.
  
 I got the Radium app from iTunes on my PC thanks to other users of the list.  
 I have several observations about it.
  
 First, you have to have an internet subscription with Sirius/XM to use it 
 with their online service.  I called up XM at 800-XMRADIO, (800-967-2346).  I 
 had some trouble following the instructions of the person I was talking to.  
 I couldn’t remember my password, so he told me I needed to register with 
 Sirius/XM.  I found this strange, since I was already registered with them 
 for my online subscription.  After some going in circles, what I learned was 
 there are two things to register for.  There’s the internet subscription, 
 where you listen to content, and there’s the online access where you can do 
 things like pay bills and reset your internet password.  I finally understood 
 what the rep was trying to convey, and got the Radium app linked to 
 Sirius/XM.  I did this Tuesday, and didn’t get a chance until today to try it 
 out, because Rudolph was going to be on TV, and I didn’t want to miss it.
  
 This leads me to my second observation.  I haven’t used the Sirius/XM app for 
 quite a while, but the last time I did I noticed two things.  The app gave a 
 warning of a good amount of data would be used to stream the content, and 
 there was a time limit  that the app would work until it disconnected and you 
 had to reconnect to the channel.  The Radium app doesn’t have either of these 
 limits.  Right now I’m listening to the NFL with it.  I’ve been tuned in for 
 about 5 hours, and not once have I had any disconnects or dropped feed or 
 buffering.  I’m using my WI-FI connection, but later on today I’ll be heading 
 out for Thanksgiving dinner, and I’ll be taking my iPhone with me.  Oh yeah, 
 I’m using the app on an iPhone 4 with iOs 7.0.3, and the app is not too bad 
 at its responsiveness.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot a very important thing.  The 
 app works great with VoiceOver.
  
 That’s it from here.  To get the app, on your PC, get to the iTunes store and 
 do a search for Radium.  The app was the first in the results that I found.  
 It’s the app with music in its title.
  
 That’s all I can think of to say, except Happy Thanksgiving to you wherever 
 you are in the world.  I know that this date is mainly for us in the United 
 States, but it’s always good to remember what we are thankful for.  Besides, 
 here in the U.S. we all know what Thanksgiving is about, besides being with 
 family and friends, and that’s Football!  Yea Lions!
  
 GO RAIDERS and GO STEELERS!

I have a couple of questions for the Jailbreakers among us. Has anyone  tried 
Auxo, and if you have, do the toggles on the second page of the app switcher 
read the buttons properly? I am asking because for me all that I hear VO say is 
button for each of the buttons.

Second question is, has anyone installed Activator? I have just installed this 
app and with it I can set up custom actions to perform any number of tasks on 
my iPhone. For instance I have just set up my phone to bring up that 
aforementioned toggle screen of Auxo with a simple shake of my iPhone, very 
cool.

Last Question, does anyone know if there is an app that I could use that would 
allow me to forward an incoming call to my Skype account? I am usually working 
on my computer with headphones on and if I could simply answer an incoming call 
with my computer instead of having to locate my phone and then answer it this 
would make my life a little easier.

Thank you,
Scott Rumery

Re: Audio Hijack Pro question

2013-02-07 Thread Scott Rumery
Yes there is but it is not exactly a  plug in. Look for a program called Call 
Recorder for Skype. This is a program that will begin recording a Skype call 
once it begins.

 As I understand it, I need to turn the record toggle to on before I can

iOS 6 ringtone Bug

Hello,

It seems as though that I have been bitten by one of the iOS 6 bugs. I have 
just discovered that I am unable to change my ringtone from the default Mirimba 
tone and it is beginning to get on my last nerve. Is there anyone on this list 
that has been able to resolve this issue? If so, would you please let me know 
how to resolve this on my iPhone 4S?

Re: iOS 6 ringtone Bug

That is exactly what is happening and from doing a Google search on my problem

 They give some supposed bug fixes and I have tried them all, but my phone will

Ringtone Issued Solved

2013-02-04 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello,

I just wanted to let the list know that my rintone issue is now solved. I found 
the solution on an Apple support forum page. I will paste the fix in this 
message. I am glad that this fixed the problem because I was driving my wife 
crazy.

1. Set your default ringtone in Settings - (the ringtone you want as your 
default).
2. Kill ALL running apps by double clicking the Home button and turning them 
off one by one.
3. Do a reset of the phone (by holding the Home and Top buttons down until you 
see the Apple, then release)
 
Your default ringtone should now work.  Not elegant - it would be nice if 
Default just worked - but it does the trick.

 Hi all,
 
 I've just successfuly jailbroken my 4s; the process took around 3
 minutes and is largely unattended. Note that towards the end of the
 process you will need to unlock the device, find a new icon called
 jailbreak and open it.
 Whilst your computer will tell you this, I found that my screen
 readers focus wouldn't stay on the message long enough for me to read it
 completely.
 Never the less, it's great to be able to fully use my phone again.
 
 Cheers,

Mary you do not need an app, just go to: http://amazonmp3.com from Safari on 
your iPhone and you can purchase your music right from the browser and it will 
automatically be added to your cloud music drive which is accessible from the 
Cloud Player app.

Amazon can't create a way for us to purchase their content from an iPhone app 
because if they did Apple would require them to pay them a third of any 
proceeds from the purchases.

 Fedora Outlier LLC has posted a new item, 'Do You Know The Way To San Jose?'
 
 When I first lost my usable vision, travel became very different than it was
 before. I used to passed the time with books, puzzle books, and listened to
 music on a cassette tape recorder. I still had the music, and luckily, there
 were audio books, or I might have gone stir crazy. There was no longer looking
 at the sights, checking out what was around, or knowing how many miles there
 were left to go in the trip, unless I asked the driver. But that was then, and
 this is now.

Re: How do I use the app store?

2012-12-15 Thread Scott Rumery
There is no longer a need to change pages in the app store.  All of the search 
results will be listed in a vertical list called an item picker.  To get to 
this item picker, after selecting the search button place your finger just 
above the Home button and slowly slide your finger up until you hear Voice Over 
say the name of the first result.  You will notice that Voice Over will say 1 
of whatever the number of results is.  To view one of the results you just 
flick up until you hear the one that you want, wait a second or two for the 
screen to be updated and then go to the top left of your screen and then 
navigate just like usual.

I hope that this helps.

 Hi Scott,
 
 If I understand you correctly you are using the Sonos app, you select a Zone
 and then double tap on Music Library. You then select by artist, album,
 song or whatever, you see the songs and when you double tap on what you want
 to play you get the prompt Play Now or Play Next etc. Then you double
 tap on Play Now and nothing happens?
 
 Can you play music from this iPhone or anything from an internet radio
 station?
 
 There are lots of variables, it would be good to know if you can play
 anything either through the app or the desktop controller just so you are
 sure your sonos player works. If all else fails just call Sonos technical
 support, they are very helpful and usually very knowledgeable.
 
 
 Good luck,

Re: Sonos continues to disappoint even while adding cool new features

2012-12-05 Thread Scott Rumery
I just installed this update and I can definitely
 confirm that the adjust volume with the buttons on the side of my iPhone has 
indeed been broken.  This is very disappointing as I use my Sonos every day.  
It is trivial to turn VO off in order to adjust the volume of my Sonos system, 
but I definitely would like this fixed as soon as possible.

Another thing that I have noticed is that I cannot get any of my music library 
that is on my phone to play.  When I select a song and double tap on the Play 
button, nothing happens.  I will have to file a bug report with Sonos as I 
believe that it is important for them to know when the accessibility of their 
app is affected.

 Hi.
 
 Nice work man. I hope you'll get success with that. I have looked at the

 because that totally depends on the app for the i-devices. If they brakes 
 that, we are left alone with those extremely expensive products which we are 
 totally unable to use. So I think I will get a promise from the team that 
 they are going to take accessibility serious in the future, before I de site 
 to buy any of their products or not. I really wants to by some of their

 Den 05/12/2012 kl. 10.14 skrev Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca:
 
 Hello Listers, especially those who own Sonos products,
 Hello Mike from Sonos,
  
 Sonos released an app update tonight. The single new feature that was 
 mentioned is the ability to now play music that is in your music library on 
 the phone and not just music that is stored on your PC or external hard 
 drive. While this is a nice feature and it is perfectly accessible, I 
 discovered that Sonos also broke a feature when Voiceover is running. A 
 couple of updates ago Sonos announced that if you were in the Sonos app it 
 was now possible to turn the playback volume on your Sonos player(s) up or 
 down using the volume keys on the phone. This worked just fine and Voiceover 
 volume was unchanged when Sonos volume was adjusted. In this most recent 
 update I discovered that when I wanted to turn up the playback volume on my 
 Sonos player nothing happened and instead Voiceover volume is being turned 
 up even though Voiceover was not talking at that time. I turned Voiceover 
 off with a triple click home and the volume up key worked just fine to turn 
 up the playback volume on my Sonos player. It is clearly a new bug and while 
 I will report this to Sonos I am afraid that their lack of response in the 
 past regarding accessibility will mean that from now on a Voiceover user 
 cannot use the volume buttons any more unless you first turn off Voiceover. 
 I CC this message to Mike Carlino, one of the Sonos support people, and I 
 urge all you Sonos users to send emails to Mike as well. I also posted the 
 below message on the Sonos Facebook page, Apple is making a big deal of the 
 accessibility features of the iPhone and more and more people are aware of 
 Apple’s fantastic work so I don’t see why they shouldn’t be aware of other 
 companies who apparently couldn’t care less about visually impaired users 
 beyond the fact that we also paid to buy their product.
  
 Here is what I posted on the Sonos Facebook page:
  
 Top marks for the latest Sonos update if you are not visually impaired; for 
 blind iOS users Sonos continues to disappoint. Apple has been emphasizing 
 their commitment to accessibility in many areas. One of these includes 
 Voiceover, a built-in screenreader which has been included into every iOS 
 version for several years as well as into the OSX operating system. 
 Voiceover allows a blind user such as myself full access to a touch screen 
 device which due to its lack of tactile buttons used to be considered 
 impossible. In true Apple fashion accessibility has been implemented and as 
 Steve Jobbs was font of saying it just works. Being able to use a popular 
 device such as an iPhone out of the box without having to spend hundreds or 
 even thousands of Dollars for specialty devices or software is truely 
 revolutionary. Hundreds of developers have jumped onto the accessibility 
 bandwagon and made improvements such a making sure buttons are properly 
 labelled and information can be read with Voiceover. One exception is Sonos. 
 I as well as a number of other blind iPhone users who also own Sonos players 
 (8 of them in my case) have beged Sonos for over 2 years to make a few minor 
 improvements and to make a commitment to accessibility which would ensure 
 continued support for accessibility. One example is the fact that the 
 Previous, Play/Pause and Next buttons are not labelled and are

Yes, I got the bridge as well.  I want to be able to move my Play 5 from room

 Hi Scott,
  
 Did you also purchase a ZoneBridge? You can use your Play:5 without a 
 ZoneBridge, but then it becomes less of a portable device since you will have 
 to connect it to your router via a network cable hence you limit yourself in 
 placing it in reach of your router and you can’t take it to another room 
 unless you have an actual Ethernet cable going to that room.

Accessibility Of the Sling Player App

2012-11-02 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello,

Does anyone know if SlingBox is accessible on the iPhone?  I would also like to 
know if it is accessible from the Mac as well, but have posted this part of my 
question on the Mac list that I am on.

If the SlingBox app is not accessible, is the Dish app accessible?  I have been 
told by Dish that my current receiver is capable of being online, but only if I 
connect it with an ethernet cable or get a wireless adapter that I can plug 
into the receiver to get it in my home network.  Thank you for any help that 
you can give me on this.

 The iPhone 5 is an incredible smartphone. I’ve been using mine since it 
 arrived on my doorstep at 7:48 p.m. the day after launch day (after a 
 painfully long wait), and I love it. It’s spectacularly thin and light, it’s 
 beautiful — like most Apple products — and that larger display is such a 
 welcome improvement.
 
 I chose the white and silver model — I’ve had white iPhones for as long as 
 they’ve been available — and I think it’s the prettiest gadget I’ve ever 
 owned. It’s also powerful, and noticeably faster than my already snappy 
 iPhone 4S. Its battery life is excellent, and so is the camera.
 
 Overall, I have a long list of positive things to say about the iPhone 5 — 
 the hardware is just unbeatable. But I think there’s one thing letting it 
 down, and that’s iOS 6.
 
  
 Before I jump in and tell you why iOS 6 is letting down the iPhone 5, let me 
 just make one thing clear: I love iOS. It’s by far the most polished mobile 
 platform there is, and it’s been my OS of choice since its debut with the 
 original iPhone.
 
 iOS “just works” — in so many ways. Its ability to sync with iTunes and 
 iPhoto, and all the benefits that iCloud brings, make it a perfect companion 
 for Mac users like me. It’s super simple to use — even my granddad’s using 
 it — and the catalog of third-party apps available on iOS is second to none.
 
 But as a technology writer, I’m often required to step outside my comfort 
 zone and test other devices… devices that don’t run iOS. Since selling my 
 iPhone 4S a couple weeks ago, I’ve been using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and 
 prior to that I tested a long list of Android and Windows Phone smartphones.
 
 Apple’s platform is the best of the bunch, but the gap between iOS and its 
 competitors is getting ever smaller.
 
 What I’ve learned along the way is that Apple’s platform is the best of the 
 bunch, and for me, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference. 
 But the gap between iOS and its competitors is getting ever smaller.
 
 When Apple announced the original iPhone back in 2007, iOS — then called 
 “iPhone OS” — was like nothing we’d ever seen before. Sure, we’d had 
 touchscreen devices, but they were designed to work with tiny styluses that 
 quickly got broken or lost, and they were slow and unreliable.
 
 Apple kept making iOS better, adding things like iTunes and support for 
 third-party apps through the App Store. These things took iOS way ahead of 
 anything else, and that’s been the case for quite some time.
 
 For the past few years, iOS hasn’t been taking the leaps it did in the early 
 days.
 
 But for the past few years, iOS hasn’t quite been taking the leaps it did in 
 the early days. Apple has added new features and new services, some of which 
 are really terrific, such as iCloud — as I mentioned earlier — and Siri. But 
 there are some big things iOS is missing— things that other platforms gained 
 a long time ago.
 
 Widgets
 
 I want widgets on iOS.
 
 These things become more apparent when you use those other platforms for a 
 few weeks. For example, Android’s widgets may not seem like a big thing to 
 you, but try living with them for an extended period of time and you’ll miss 
 them a lot when you go back to iOS.
 
 Widgets let you add all kinds of things to your home screen, such as sports 
 scores, the weather, music controls, settings toggles, your Twitter 
 timeline, a breaking news feed… the list is endless.
 
 Having these things in front of you right after unlocking your smartphone, 
 without having to open up an app, is just fantastic. I felt the same way 
 about Windows Phone’s live tiles after using an HTC Titan for a month.
 
 I want widgets, or maybe even dynamic icons, on iOS. And I know this is a 
 feature a lot of iOS users have been calling out for for some time. But 
 Apple is yet to introduce it. It has added its own alternative to 
 Notification Center in the form of Weather and Stocks “widgets,” but those 
 have remained unchanged since iOS 5, and Apple is yet to offer us anything 
 new.
 
 You can add widgets yourself if you jailbreak, and those that are available 
 through Cydia are… okay. But they’d be so much better if Apple supported 
 them and allowed developers to create them for their apps. The iPhone 5’s 
 larger display creates room for widgets, so let’s have them, Apple.
 
 Quick Settings Toggles
 
 Another feature iOS is

 that grew up in the 1980's the Billy Ocean hit either. This is a blog post 
 about
 all of those cloud based services that you hear about these days. In this

 will talk about two cloud offerings from Apple and why you may want to use 
 them.
 So, sit back and launch your Pandora application on your iPhone and listen to

 Eighties channel and listen for that Billy Ocean classic that I was talking

Video Magnifiers

2012-09-14 Thread Scott Rumery
Hello Listers,

In preparation for a presentation that my team is doing in October I have been 
researching some video magnifier apps to demo.  Is there anyone on the list 
that has used any of the apps in this genre, and if so, which ones, and how do 
they work for you?  Keep in mind that I am blind and I will be presenting for a 
group of TVI's in Georgia, so even though I can't see what the app can magnify, 
it is important that our audience be able to see it.  We will be plugging into 
a large screen projector for the presentation.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Scott Rumery

 As a blind computer user I get very frustrated with all of the clutter of some
 websites on the Internet. It is because of this frustration that today I want 
 to
 talk to you about a great feature on Mountain Lion and iOS. The name of this
 feature is SafariReader and it is terrific!

Re: Delivering Access Podcast: DropVox And The App Switcher

2012-09-07 Thread Scott Rumery
Yes, you can search for Delivering Access and you will find our feed.  
Currently there are no episodes showing up from this feed, but if you want to 
hear the podcast that I did on DropVox and the App Switcher then go to, 
http://www.fedoraoutlier.com/podcast and you can get it straight from our 
website.  We are working on getting our podcast feed fixed so that all future 
episodes will show up in iTunes and other podcast apps.

 EMPOWERMENT
  
 Empowerment is a mechanism by which individuals, groups and communities gain 
 mastery over their affairs. Our firm seeks to empower the blind to find or 
 create a career they find meaningful, purposeful and profitable.
  
 __
 FIRM UPDATE
  
 What is just shy of leaps and bounds? I guess it would be a hot skip and a 
 jump. Whatever the case we are growing by the week. We not only have new team 
 members we also have new accounts in two states, putting the count at 3. Our 
 goal by 2016 is to be in all U.S. states.
  
 We can't say too much about the book we will be releasing later this year but 
 what we can say it's going to be like one you have never seen before. It will 
 have audio, video, and photos right in the book. It will be the first ever 
 multi-media book accessible to the blind and at a cost that will knock your 
 socks off. That sounds like the price will be high, but its going to be 
 really cheap for what you get. The teaser is it will be written on the Apple 
 secrets on how to master iOS.
  
 The truth of the matter is that we are excited about the lives we change, the 
 fun we have doing it and the pleasure we derive from the Apple WOW factor and 
 our ability to bring to the blind community something they have never seen 
 before. LOL

 CALL TO ACTION
  
 OK, here's the deal! The numbers on new subscribers to this newsletter for 
 this month is low based on our goal of 40 new subscribers per week. We are at 
 82. If you love us you'll tell us that you don't like all or a part of our 
 newsletter and tell us what you would like to see in future issues, so we can 
 improve them. The changes we are making on our end  is that we've brought on 
 a social media maven and she's going to help promote and boost the numbers 
 and help with subscribers. 
  
 Twitter is going good and Facebook has a face of its own with 2 page LIKES 
 this week. We'll need to get these numbers up if we want to make an impact in 
 the social-verse, so tell your friends, family and enemies to follow us. We 
 thank you for your help thus far.

 FROM THE BLOG
  
 Reading Is Fundamental
 
 Posted under:Blind,Empowerment,Story,You and Technology by Brie
 
 How are you able to enjoy reading a book if you can’t see? Do all of your 
 books have to be in Braille? Where do you get your books from? Recently these 
 questions were asked by the daughter of a dear friend of mine. To me, they 
 are very simple questions. However, to the sighted, they are very legitimate 
 ones.

Re: The Sherlock Holmes Of OCR Apps

2012-07-21 Thread Scott Rumery
Sandy, I am the one that wrote this blog post, and I completely agree with you 
about the tapping to start the scan issue.  I think that is important to 
remember that this is the first version of this app, and it might be a good 
idea if those of us who have bought this app contact the developer with our 
comments so that they will know what some of our issues with the app is.  I for 
one have had very good results with Text Detective and have no trouble 
recommending it to others.  I really do appreciate your comments and if you 
didn't leave a comment on our blog would you please do so?  This is how we will 
be able to keep track of how many people we are getting to read our blog posts.

If you have any suggestions as to an app or something with the iPhone that I 
can write please let me know and I will see if I can put a future post. 
together.

 isn’t working for me! I am sorry I bought it.  What scanning success I have

 the camera.

 How many times have you wished that there was a good OCR solution for your 
 IOS device? Well, the latest OCR app to hit the Apple IOS AppStore just may 
 be what you have been waiting for.

Re: The Sherlock Holmes Of OCR Apps

Hi Amy, 

This is why I wish that more developers would have a demo version of their apps 
available from their website.  Of course then we would all have to go to their 
websites, but I that this would be what all of the developers would want.

 I think this scanning apps discussion is very interesting.
 I am one of those who could not get prismo or Saytext to work at all, but can 
 with Text Detective.
 I suppose that really it all comes down to, (just like with anything else,) 
 what works for one isn’t always going to work for another.
 Meanwhile, am I the only one who wishes that if they bought an app and didn’t 
 like it or it didn’t work for them, but maybe it would work for someone else, 
 that they could gift their coppy to them? At least then your money isn’t 
 going to waste. *smile*
