RE: package tracking app?

[Sherry Gomes]

lol. I didn't even know there were list archives! I stay away from the google 
groups web site as much as possible and rarely read mail on this list due to 
the high traffic. But I certainly won't ask again.

Hello,


I just want to point out that if one goes to the archives and searches for 
"Track This" they will find threads on this very topic. The recommendations of 
other apps to replace this one has been discussed extensively about a month 
ago. I know I will get some flack for sending this post, and i will use the 
delete key because I have read the pevious posts on this topic once before. 
Please don't take this the wrong way, but we should all try to  search in the 
archives before reposting a topic that has been listed before and then post if 
there are any related questions to the topic at hand. 


Thanks for listening.


Kind regards,
Eileen

Hi Jared,

 

Parcel also auto-detects and automatically pastes any tracking numbers 
you put in the clipboard. I’ll check out Delivery Status Touch as well. I think 
if the developer of the Parcel app were to implement something like Ship-Rack 
where you can forward any emails containing a tracking number to a particular 
email address and they then automatically get added to the app then Parcel 
would have the edge over the rest. I’ll email the dev and suggest it.

I'm a big fan of Delivery Status touch. The two features I like are the 
ability for it to use your amazon login to track an amazon order if you know 
the order number and it's ability to automatically detect tracking numbers on 
the clipboard when you open the app and prompt you to add them.

package tracking app?

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi everyone,

One of my favorite apps has been Track This, an easy to use voice over
friendly package tracking app. I hadn't used it in a while, but I have some
things coming via FedEx and when I went to enter the info in the app today,
I got a message saying that Track This is closed and is no longer accepting
info. Maybe this is old news but I didn't know till today. so, can anyone
recommend another accessible package tracking app? That was one of the most
useful apps I ever had.

RE: Streaming Music Services

[Sherry Gomes]

I only use one streaming app. It's called accuradio. I love it. The app is
accessible, no problems with it so far, and the web site is easy to use as
well, when I want to listen to it on my computer.

Pandora is great on IoS. You can use it for free with commercials, or pay
$3.99 a month with no commercials. Rhapsody is pretty good, but it's very
limited for free access and only has samples. I have a subscription to it,
and they have lots of music in a very broad range.

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

The recent thread about Papa John's made me wonder if other pizza chains

Pizza Hut have apps that are good with VO?

RE: updating my iOS

[Sherry Gomes]

I do all the windows updates, but as an example, I bought a new laptop six
months ago, and I stuck with windows 7, because I'm not willing to try 8
until it's been out a good long while and I get feedback from sighted and
blind users. So, I feel the same about my phone, not wanting to upgrade the
IOs for a while, till I see how well it does. But the upgrade happened
easily and now I'm using the 7.

Hi all,

I didn't upgrade to IOS 7 when it came out. I tend to hesitate to upgrade
any operating system, be it windows or iPhone. I like to sit back and listen
to feedback, good and bad, before jumping. And at the time the upgrade came
along, I was getting ready to move and would be without land line and
internet for a few days, so I wanted to make sure there would be no trouble
with my iPhone during the process. Well, I'm settled at last and have a
quiet weekend coming up. Also, some of my apps won't update since I'm still
running 6. something.

So, I have an iPhone 5. Is there anything I should be concerned about as I
do the upgrade? I've upgraded a couple times before, once with no issues and
once with a lot of trouble and having to restore the phone and all and try
again. I've also read a lot on this list about extra sensitivity of gestures
with the upgrade. any very good or very bothersome things about the upgrade.
anything important I should do before upgrading. I'm recovering from dental
surgery this weekend, so it's a good time to play with the phone!

Success. That was the easiest and fastest upgrade I've ever done. I think
voice over sounds kinda garbled, but it will do. And it kept all my previous
settings. I didn't have to go back in and set all my stuff again.

Hi Sherry,

The sensitivity issue and a bunch of other stuff was fixed in iOS 7.03 which
was released last Tuesday.
Just make sure you sync and back up your phone.
I also usually take a major iOS upgrade as an opportunity to clean up and
maybe remove apps I haven't really used, if you want them again down the
road they are yours to redownload without cost.

Once that is done, do the following, not all of it might help, but nothing
will hurt:

1. Make sure your phone is plugged in to power even if the battery is fairly
full this is not a bad idea.
2. Turn off Bluetooth if it's on
3. Bring up the app switcher and close all apps.
4. Go into Settings, General, Reset, double tap Reset Network Settings and
confirm.
This will reboot your phone, you will have to reconnect to your WiFi
including reentering your WiFi password.
If you don't want to do that, at least power off the phone after you empty
the app switcher, wait 30 seconds and turn it back on.
5. Go into Settings, General, Software Update and double tap Install, agree
to the licence terms and then put your phone down and forget about it for an
hour or so. If the update has already downloaded it may not take that long
and of course if you are right there and you hear Voiceover come on it's OK,
but don't panic if it doesn't come on for a long time.
Alternatively you could of course connect your iPhone to your computer and
do the update by clicking the "Check for updates" button in iTunes. If you
decide to upgrade via iTunes which will give you more feedback, make sure
you are using the latest version which is 11.1.2, this actually seems to
have just come out. I wanted to check the exact version for you and when I
opened iTunes it came up and told me that 11.1.2 was available and did I
want to download it. I am just doing that now, so if you upgrade via iTunes
make sure you do the update before.

Once the update has finished and your phone is back up and running I would
do another complete power off and restart, if not right away then do it
maybe that night or the next night, but sometimes little things seem to be
happening which often go away if you restart the phone.


Good luck,
Sieghard

Hi all,

I didn't upgrade to IOS 7 when it came out. I tend to hesitate to upgrade
any operating system, be it windows or iPhone. I like to sit back and listen
to feedback, good and bad, before jumping. And at the time the upgrade came
along, I was getting ready to move and would be without land line and
internet for a few days, so I wanted to make sure there would be no trouble
with my iPhone during the process. Well, I'm settled at last and have a
quiet weekend coming up. Also, some of my apps won't update since I'm still
running 6. something. 

So, I have an iPhone 5. Is there anything I should be concerned about as I
do the upgrade? I've upgraded a couple times before, once with no issues and
once with a lot of trouble and having to restore the phone and all and try
again. I've also read a lot on this list about extra sensitivity of gestures
with the upgrade. any very good or very bothersome things about the upgrade.
anything important I should do before upgrading. I'm recovering from dental
surgery this weekend, so it's a good time to play with the phone!

a really really dumb question

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi,

I have an iPhone 5 and still running IOS 6. The last couple days, my phone
has been acting weird, voice over saying things for no reason, siri not
working. I was thinking of power cycling it, but honestly, I've never once
turned it off since I got it. with my 3GS it was such a pain because I never
knew how long to hold the power button to be sure it was powering back on,
since there was no audio feedback or vibration or anything to know it was
booting up.

So is there a reset I can try? or if I should power it off and back on,
approximately how long should I hold the power button and how long till the
phones boots up?

RE: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare

[Sherry Gomes]

I was actually about to say that. Other than the fact that Kindle has so
very many more books than bookshare, and books old and new, I also like to
support the authors, many of whom are independent self-published. And oddly
enough, I find the amazon kindle web site much easier to navigate and more
straight forward than bookshare site. That's using my windows computer for
searching and buying/downloading books from either site.

Subject: Re: Justification for using Kindle vs. downloading from Bookshare

I think what you are experiencing, is in some books the first letter of the
chapter is artsy, or calligraphy. This is an image that voiceover cannot
pick up. This is true on many Kindle books.
On books like this, when I would scan them for book share, I would have to
go back and change the first letter of every single chapter. Very
labor-intensive.
So, it probably isn't a defect and Kindle, rather a flaw with voice overs
ability to read everything. I still enjoy Kindle books.
As far as the original question, sometimes I buy Kindle books because I want
to support the authors efforts.

guitar tuning app?

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi all,

I thought I had a guitar tuning app on my old 3gs phone, but it's not on my
iPhone 5. I can't remember the name of the app anymore. I've recently
starting playing guitar again after about thirty years and I'd like to find
an accessible and a accurate guitar tuner. Any suggestions?

GPS apps

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi all,

I know this is a subject that comes up all the time, but in the past, I
haven't paid a lot of attention, because I just wasn't in a position to need
them. I have a ton of them on my phone but never used them. Now I'm buying a
condo and moving to an area with a nice shopping area a couple blocks away.
So, I'm interested in finding the best app or apps to use for things like
the following:

1. telling me of streets and intersections/crossing
2. Points of interest around me
3. Notifying me when I am nearing a destination I have either entered by
address or have saved as a point of interest.

4. I'd like an app that works best for someone walking but one that works
well in a vehicle is fine too.

Here's the thing, I never feel I get a lot out of podcasts. If you can point
me to a podcast that has detailed step by step instructions not just on what
the app can do but how to do it, that would be great. even better would be
any tutorial, something I can read on my computer with one braille display
and practice on my phone at the same time.


Hmmm, some of the GPS apps I have are:
Navigon
Ariadne
Where the hell am I
BlindSquare

And I know there are a couple more I just can't remember the names right
now. But I'm happy to get a different one if someone recommends something
different than what I have.

Please feel free to write me off list if you choose. My email is

I have clicked on them and gone into the app but see nothing that will let

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bible apps

Hi all,

I'm looking for a Bible app for my iPhone 5. I want to do a Bible study, and
it involves reading lots of diverse verses in many different books. I have a
braille bible, but honestly, it's sometimes overwhelming having to pile
volume upon volume around me to get one verse. So, I thought with the iPhone
and my braille display, maybe it would be easier. What I want is an app that
is searchable, so I could enter the coordinates for the verse I need to look
up, using my focus 14, and then be able to read the verse as well, easily
going back to the search for the next one. 

Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: associate Game Question

[Sherry Gomes]

I also look on wikipedia for answers about movies and actors and things. I
was so disappointed when the "classic movies" level was all about aliens and
horror movies. I was thinking classics like Casa Blanca and such. I had to
ask on twitter and look on wiki to get the answers since I've never seen
alien and don't like horror movies. I want movie levels about musicals.

I don't think there is. I did find a lot of answers, particularly on levels
like Reality TV, about which I know less than nothing, by googling
iAssociate + the name of the level you are on + any clues or associations
you may have. Also, go ahead and ask me. I've completed every level except
the last two or three. It's so good to see so many people playing
iAssociate! I started back in 2010 and was the only one I knew who played
regularly for two years.

RE: iAssociate Game Question

[Sherry Gomes]

Following on from this discussion, when you've almost completed a level, but
there are one or two you skipped and need to go back to, is there a way to
sort the level so the unanswered questions will be at the bottom? It's
sometimes hard to find those last one or two if I've skipped them.

a pretty basic question about moving apps

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi all,

I have an iPhone 5. I'd like to do a couple things. Move apps I most use or
of a similar type to various folders. I'd also like, if possible, to change
things that are on the dock. I don't use email on my phone or safari or
music. I only have a 16 gig phone and way too much music for that. So, I'd
like to keep phone ont he dock but move three of my favorite apps there
instead.

Is it possible to do all this with a braille display? And if so, can someone
give me directions or point me to a tutorial on the process? 

Thanks.

Sherry

RE: Seeking Advice on Creating Ring Tones

Thanks. They are the right file type with the right extension. I'm not on

Subject: RE: Seeking Advice on Creating Ring Tones

Sherry,

Are they M4R files? If so just copy them into the Automatically Add to
iTunes folder, then open iTunes and they should be moved to the Tones or
Ringtones folder. Both the Automatically Add to iTunes and the Tones or
Ringtones folder are in your iTunes Media folder which in turn is in a
folder just called "iTunes" and if you did the default installation, it is
in your Music folder.

Once you have done this, you have to connect your phone, check the Tones
button under "Devices" then tab and make sure you check "Sync All
Ringtones". This process is no different than syncing apps or music, either
select to sync all tones or if you choose to only sync selected tones you
have to tap into the listview where all your tones are and check those you
want, then sync.

If your files are not in the iTunes format and do not have the M4R extension
they will not work.

If you can't get this to work you can contact me off-list and I'll see if I
can help. My email is siegh...@live.ca

Sieghard

Hi Rose,

 

I believe Fedora's instructions are for the Mac. I am not saying it's easier
in Windows, but I posted my instructions quite a few times now and send them
directly to a few more people and I believe they were all able to follow
them and create ringtones. Yes, there are about 8 or 10 steps involved
depending on how I word it and also on how technically experienced somebody
is. However, if you do get it to work and do it a few times, it takes little
more than a minute or 2 to create a ringtone. The most time is spend on
setting the start and end point if you hav a song where you don't want to
start at the beginning and simply set the end point to 38 or 40 seconds
because if you want to start a few seconds in and stop at a point that makes
sense you have to set your start and end point, listen to the selected part
of the song, then fine tune your start and end points where you listen each
time after you do so. Obviously if you do this 3, 4 or 5 times you can
easily spend 3 to 5 minutes doing that. After that it takes another 30
seconds to create the ringtone, rename the file, copy it into your ringtones
folder and play it so it gets added to the library. The basic steps are
really only that:

 

1.   Select the part of the song you want by setting the start end end
point in the Options tab in "Get Info".

2.   Right click on the song and select "Create AAC Version.

3.   Go to the newly created ringtone, select "Show in Windows
Explorer", then rename it so it has an M4R instead of an M4A extension.

4.   Now select copy or Move and paste it into the Tones folder which is
in the iTunes Media folder.

5.   Press enter on it to play it which automatically adds it to your
Tones library, then sync it to your phone.

 

If you want my more detailed description just write to me off-list and I'll
send it to you. There is a big difference between a process you perceive to
be difficult because it involves a lot of small yet relatively simple steps
and one that really is difficult.

 

Lastly, there are several apps out there which create the actual ringtone
and which are accessible and being used by members of this list. However,
you still have to email the ringtone to you or use iTunes file transfer to
copy it from your phone into the Tones folder where you can play it and then
sync it. Personally I don't necessarily find these apps any easier than
using iTunes and really the only thing they don't require you to do is
rename the file with the M4R extension.

Sieghard

I wish someone would right a straight forward guide for ring tones,

couple, or, send them from some package to myself, save the files in my
downloads folder, then open and they seem to go where they belong but, I
don't think I would ever venture in to how to actually creat one from
iTunes.  Why something should be so difficult seems strange to me.  I just

Hi marcy,

 

While your instructions summarize the basic steps, Bill is not using a Mac
and there are a few more steps involved on a PC. Also, if somebody has
selected MP3 as their Codec they won't have an option to create an AAC file
and would have to first change this. Just saying.

Hi Sherry,

I can answer your first 2 questions. I don't use a braille display, so I'm 
giving you the gestures on the phone.

To lock portrait mode, go to the app switcher and do a 3 finger swipe to the

right, which takes you to page 2 of the app switcher. The first option on 
this page is the rotation lock button that allows you to switch between 
unlocked and portrait lock.

To turn on touch typing, you have to be in an edit fieled. Once you're in an

edit field, typing mode will be one of the options in the roter. Just swipe 
down to select touch typing.

portrait vs landscape on iPhone 5

[Sherry Gomes]

Hi all,

I just got my iPhone 5 yesterday and have spent much of the day learning the
differences between it and my old 3gs and getting used to using braille.
there are a few things I can't seem to figure out however.

1. How can I lock the phone in portrait mode, so it doesn't keep switching
on me when I use apps like kindle?

2. How can I set the onscreen keyboard for touch typing? I was told to use
the rotor, but neither with gestures or with my focus 14 display, can I get
anything about typing. 

3. For anyone using a focus 14, is there a keystroke on the display to
activate the home button?

Thanks everyone.
