Julian and Rajmund,

Please be careful.  You stated I am not an English native speaker.  This is 
incorrect.

Remind you, Mark the moderator already posted a note to all of y'all.  Please 
say no more.

As I read this exchange it occurs to me that perhaps Todd may not be a native 
English speaker, so perhaps there may be a language barrier thus causing 
something to be lost in translation. I don't see this as a way to excuse nasty 
behavior, but, sometimes when words are not translated correctly it could lead 
to misunderstandings.

Merv,

 

That is for you.  I have no use.

 

There are many apps related to Health.

 

Apple Inc. is simply and slyly luring folks and those on this list to buy their 
products.

 

Thanks.

Health might be useless to you. but I get gift cards from Amazon and iTunes for 
walking five miles a day thanks to the Health app. I use it to count my steps. 
Then I open my insurance app and the information from the health app is 
seamlessly transferred to the insurance app and when I get enough points I can 
cash in for as many gift cards as I can. I have already spent quite a few 
dollars at both Amazon and the App store over the past few years. I could save 
up for other purchases, even iPads and there are other stores as well such as 
Target. But these are the two I like to shop with.

Apple can put all the stock apps they want on my 128 GB iPhone as long as the 
money keeps rolling in.

John,

 

Who do you yourself think you yourself are?

 

Saying, Think twice is simply a habitual way to say.  You are not alone to whom 
I use to quote it.  Plus, I am not alone in quoting that;  Rich is another one.

 

I want you and the folks here to realize what was said stands correct.

 

I care less about music, videos, and some of the apps.  I have no interest in 
music.  Too much of music is enough.  That is why I said iTunes should be used 
in a more narrow way, not mixing it with apps where music is not mentioned.

 

That is simply ridiculous and should be changed for the better.

 

John, you have a lot yet to learn.

 

If you, John, or anyone do/does not like what I said, that is too bad for y’all.

 

This concludes.

 

Thanks.

Hi John,

 

I usually move all the apps I don’t use or use extremely rarely to whatever the 
last home page is for me, in my case it is page 4. Now that so many apps can be 
deleted there are very few that go on that page. Stocks and iBooks are two 
examples, both can be deleted but I keep them just because occasionally a PDF 
needs to open in iBooks or I may in fact want to know how a particular stock is 
doing. This way they are out of the way where I never need to go which to me is 
even better than putting them into a folder which I then have on a home page I 
do use. I wouldn’t even call this bloatware, apart from essential apps there 
are only a few which can’t be deleted. Yes, Health is one of them, for me that 
is OK because I use it frequently and I’m pretty sure quite a few of us on this 
list do use it on a pretty regular bases as many of us have compatible devices 
like scales or blood pressure monitors etc. Anyhow, judging from the responses 
I have seen it would that only one person has a real issue with the fact that 
there are maybe 2 or 3 apps which can’t be deleted, as Christopher said, if we 
start getting into minor details like that .there must be very few major ones.

Sieghard

   Again, Todd, because you or I might not have any use for them, it doesn’t 
mean that others don’t use them. Move them into a folder as I’ve done with the 
apps I don’t use. You can tell Apple accessibility all you want, but it doesn’t 
change the fact you are a single user and there are millions of others who make 
use of the apps you or I may not consider important or useful. Apple is far 
from the only company who unfortunately has what might be called bloatware on 
their systems. I agree with you that it would be nice to have the ability to 
delete some apps, but I also understand why this isn’t the case. Thus, again, 
that’s why you can create folders.

RE: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Todd Patkus
Mary,

 

Wait a minute.

 

I never said I want them “all” gone.  I said that most of the apps like Home, 
Health, Stocks, and Entertainment are simply useless.

 

Therefore, you are missing something.  Yes, you have the wrong impression that 
I want them all gone.  Not true!

 

That is why I said Apple is really screwed up anyway.  They do not know what 
they are thinking.  they just like to throw a lot of stuff at us for nothing.  
That is it.

A lot of that stuff that you don't like on that separate page was present, just 
in other places, like notifications. I don't use it much either. But I don't 
have to mess with it if I don't want to. You seem to think that they should do 
everything just because you wanted that way. That is a whole lot of entitlement 
coming for one guy.

Hi John,

 

I usually move all the apps I don’t use or use extremely rarely to whatever the 
last home page is for me, in my case it is page 4. Now that so many apps can be 
deleted there are very few that go on that page. Stocks and iBooks are two 
examples, both can be deleted but I keep them just because occasionally a PDF 
needs to open in iBooks or I may in fact want to know how a particular stock is 
doing. This way they are out of the way where I never need to go which to me is 
even better than putting them into a folder which I then have on a home page I 
do use. I wouldn’t even call this bloatware, apart from essential apps there 
are only a few which can’t be deleted. Yes, Health is one of them, for me that 
is OK because I use it frequently and I’m pretty sure quite a few of us on this 
list do use it on a pretty regular bases as many of us have compatible devices 
like scales or blood pressure monitors etc. Anyhow, judging from the responses 
I have seen it would that only one person has a real issue with the fact that 
there are maybe 2 or 3 apps which can’t be deleted, as Christopher said, if we 
start getting into minor details like that .there must be very few major ones.

Sieghard

   Again, Todd, because you or I might not have any use for them, it doesn’t 
mean that others don’t use them. Move them into a folder as I’ve done with the 
apps I don’t use. You can tell Apple accessibility all you want, but it doesn’t 
change the fact you are a single user and there are millions of others who make 
use of the apps you or I may not consider important or useful. Apple is far 
from the only company who unfortunately has what might be called bloatware on 
their systems. I agree with you that it would be nice to have the ability to 
delete some apps, but I also understand why this isn’t the case. Thus, again, 
that’s why you can create folders.

You can get rid of a lot of the Apple stock apps, stocks being one. Like I 
said, my suspicion is that there is more complications surrounding things like 
the home app and the Health app. Imagine the Hugh and cry if somebody had other 
apps on their system that were using those and then stupidly deleted home or 
health. Oh boy. Apple would hear from those folks. And it would of course not 
be Apple's fault. But you just know there would be somebody or more than one 
somebody out there who would try it. Maybe just because they could. This is 
such a non-issue, Todd. Given the strides that Apple has made and letting you 
get rid of their other apps. If you really hate it that much, go try android. 
Then you will find that there are things that you can't delete from there 
either. So if you don't like it, at least you can stop talking about it on the 
list.

get an android and see if you like that any better. This is such a non-issue.

It's an opinion, and it may be your opinion, but it's not a truth. I find 
Android as accessible as Apple, and even though I still use an iPhone at the 
office, I've switched to using an Android phone for my own personal use.

Also, in your first message, you said that Android wasn't accessible at all, 
which isn't nearly the same thing as saying Android isn't as accessible as 
Apple, which is what you said in your second message.

Health can indeed not be deleted and so far I found that apps like Phone, 
Messages, Settings, Camera, Health, App Store, Photos/Videos and a few others 
can’t be deleted as they are pretty crutial to iOS core functionality.

Home, however, can be deleted, I just tested it since I didn’t have anything in

Messages, Settings, Camera, Health, App Store, Photos/Videos and a few others 
can’t be deleted as they are pretty crutial to iOS core functionality.

Home, however, can be deleted, I just tested it since I didn’t have anything in 
it right now and it goes away.

My guess is that health and home  can't be deleted because they're not just 
simple apps. If you can't deal with that by putting them on the last page of 
your device into a folder that you may name trash or whatever, I suggest you 
get an android and see if you like that any better. This is such a non-issue. 
Just move the damn things where you don't have to look at them and forget about 
it. Why is that hard?

Whatever you say.  I am aware of Android not being as accessible.  This is true.

That is all I can tell you.

It's not true that Android isn't accessible at all. You may think Apple is more 
accessible, but that's not the same thing as Android not being accessible at 
all.

I've always found the Apple apps I can't remove from my iPhone to be an 
annoyance and not a huge deal. If this is our biggest concern with Apple then 
they must be doing a great job with accessibility!

RE: Delete & remove in iOS

2016-11-20 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

 

The point here is that Apple Inc. cannot expect everyone or as many as possible 
to use all their apps like this.  They need to change for the better.

 

Sieghard, I have absolutely no use for Health and Home , but do not say they 
“cannot be” deleted.  It simply makes no sense.

 

Think twice.

 

Thanks.

 

Todd

Mary,

 

Yes, they seem to be so, but Apple Inc. needs to do something about this.  Not 
all want these or any of the “undeletable” apps.  I did tell the staff at Apple 
Accessibility on this one.  They fail to realize this.

 

Android is not accessible at all.  iPhone is the most accessible device so far. 
 I do not bother Android at all.

Unfortunately this is not strictly a Freedom Scientific problem, NVDA isn't 
doing a lot better with iTunes and while there are a few scripts out there 
which help a bit, there aren't any which make a huge difference. I have a 
feeling that Apple would have to make some pretty major changes so that 
companies like Freedom Scientific can get at the information and in turn do 
whatever is needed to make it as good as it can be.
The same applies to the iCloud.com website, I highly doubt Apple is 
implementing web accessibility guidelines/standards here since the site is more 
or less unuseable for somebody who needs to rely on a screenreader.

Yes.

While on that page in Safari, find the share button which is usually just above 
the home button at the bottom of the screen.

Double tap that and flick left with one finger until you find “add to home 
screen.”

Double tap and you will have an edit box where you can edit the name.

Just remember to double tap on the done or save button in the upper right.

Thanks, Donna. This sounds promising. Did it matter which receiver you got in

Rich et al,

You forgot that many times when companies hire new staff, they do not actually 
train them well enough.  Look at what happened to the RIDE, also known as 
paratransit, under the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) years 
ago.  When an announcement was made statewide, the RIDE staff were to have 
tough training for a certain period of time, but, after the period ended, what 
happened?  Many of the drivers were not well-trained!  I did tell the general 
manager assistant that they need more training.  He did not say.  Then, what?  
That same man left without letting me know!

Same can happen to Apple staff.  Think of it.

Todd,
You have a Braille display from Hims--I see your mail on theHims Notetaker 
list. I have a BrailleEdge. The process for deleting apps should be similar

You can't do it just using the keyboard on the Braille display. You've got to 
use a combination of the keyboard and VO gestures. But there should be Braille 
feedback of everything VO says.

1) Navigate to the app you want to delete using the Dot1/4 with spacebar. 
When you get to the app
2) One-finger double-tap and hold on the app. VO should say, and Braille should 
show"Moving [app name]."
3) Lift your finger and double-tap. You'll get a message asking whether you 
want to delete the app. Navigate to the Delete button and double-tap it. 
(You can use your finger or the cursor routing button
here.)
4) Hit your Home button to get out of app editing mode.

HTH,
Dani

To all,

 

Rich, there is no need for you to call me by my name when you know I am already

Voice memos is nothing to me, so I say what was said.  That does not mean I am 
against it;  it is just that it is simply nothing.  That one I would like to

I never have an answering machine on here.  Most of the calls come from Rich’s

You have been able to delete apps since the first iPhone came out.

The only issue now is the spoken label is not exact, but the delete function

Hi List and Apple Accessibility Team,

 

I just realized when I tried to explain to Todd how to delete apps that there

What Voiceover actually says if you swipe up or down on an app and double tap 
on “Arrange Apps” is this (I am using the Facebook app as an example:

 

Activate, default

Move Facebook

 

However, in this case “Activate” which would prompt you to delete the Facebook 
app is actually not the default because if you double tap on Arrange Apps and 
then double tap a second time immediately without swiping up or down you end up 
activating the Move function and not the delete function, so “Move” is actually 
the default.

. Therefore, Voiceover should say simply “Activate” or, in this context it 
would actually be more accurate if Voiceover said “Delete” or “Remove” and it 
should further say “Move Facebook, default”.

 

In order to save myself some time I am CC’ing this email also to Apple 
Accessibility, it’s not a big deal and since nobody has brought this up before 
I assume I’m the first one to actually notice this, but that doesn’t mean they 
can’t fix it and in fact improve the labelling/instructions by making it so the 
“Activate” option says “Delete” or “Remove”.

Sieghard,

Yes, the delete feature for iOS should have been enhanced long ago!  But now, 
that it has been brought up to the attention to the staff at Apple 
Accessibility.

Do not forget Microsoft has always had delete.  The, Apple should have done so.

In Windows of any version has delete for years.  Therefore, it should have 
already been enhanced.

We will see what they do.

Hi Eden,

What do you mean by "I swear it worked correctly"? As far as I am concerned it 
does work correctly and it definitely always has worked this way, they just 
have to fix the labelling. I definitely hope they don't make it so a double tap 
immediately after the initial double tap to start arranging apps will go 
straight to delete. I think most of use the Move function a lot more than the 
delete function so being able to swipe up/down to Arrange Apps and do quickly 
do a double tap followed by another double tap without having to swipe is 
definitely very nice and it gets you to where you can move an app very quickly 
and efficiently.

Regards,
Sieghard

To all:

 

Now, you Apple staff, see where you are missing out.

 

You should have done this long before but never have you done so.  Now, you 
should do something about the issue here.

 

You cannot exclude deafblind like this.  You have many customers who are 
deafblind who are strong Braille users.  Look at me a strong Braille user.  
Rich McGann as a strong Braille user.  Therefore, for all, you need to do more 
than that!

 

Based on ADA Title III Public Accommodations, we deafblind have every right as 
the “normal” folks do.  That means we deafblind have the same rights as the 
majority does!

 

Please, Apple staff, take this into consideration to do something about this 
type of issue.

 

Thank y’all.

 

Todd

Hi

Do you all know you can now delete apps using the new custom action on the home 
screen? If not, check it out. Using your Braille display, you would perform the 
key command to swipe up or down until you see "arrange apps" and perform 
another key command to double tap. You can then delete apps as you always have 
done pre-iOS 10.

Just a heads up.

RE: Braille commands for deleting app

2016-11-18 Thread Todd Patkus
Eden,

Are you saying "double tap" = chord dots 36 pressed once?

Todd he means hit space and dots 3 and 6. Or you could also hit a cursor 
routing button above the item you wish to select. I hope this helps.

Both the U2 and the iPhone are completely muted.  So is my PC completely muted.

Yes, but what do you do when you open an app or activate a button or link on 
your iPhone? That is why I wrote you should try whatever braille command you 
use to simulate a double tap. Sorry, I don't own a braille display or I would 
tell you, but I'm sure there is an equivalent command for a double tap which is 
one of the most basic gestures on the iPhone or, for that matter, on most touch 
screen devices. Maybe somebody who has a braille display could turn speech off 
and see if they can get to where they can delete an app only with the braille 
display and then explain it better.

Good luck,
Sieghard

RE: Braille commands for deleting app

2016-11-18 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

Yes, hopefully one will pop up on the list with a better definition of the 
equivalent command for the Braille display.

By the way, if I wanted to open an app, I either press on the cursor router 
more to the left of the display or chord dots 36, which is the same as enter.

If I want to get out of the app, I either press the home button on the iPhone 
or chord h.

With the two words--arranging... and activate, that is chord dot 6 repeatedly.

Not to worry about this.  We will find out soon.

Thank you

Stay well!  Smile

Todd

Scot,

Who do you yourself are?  Quit hollering at me.  I do not need you to yell at 
me like this.  Your behavior is unacceptable.  You yourself are very childish!  
You have no right to yell at anyone here.

You also need to learn to be more friendly and more understanding!

To all, please do not listen to him.  He is very rude!  Scott has behavioral 
problems, yes.  I do not listen to him.

I have done nothing wrong.  Scott has!

Thanks.

brought it up in his book on IOS10, (something I don't have, because I don't 
have the OS.)

RE: Braille commands for deleting app

2016-11-18 Thread Todd Patkus
Dani,

Actually, there is really no way to do that!

Apple Inc. lacks this in a large way!

How can  person who is profoundly deaf and totally blind see what the screen is 
showing or see where to find on the screen!

Think about it.

Todd,
You have a Braille display from Hims--I see your mail on theHims Notetaker 
list. I have a BrailleEdge. The process for deleting apps should be similar

You can't do it just using the keyboard on the Braille display. You've got to 
use a combination of the keyboard and VO gestures. But there should be Braille 
feedback of everything VO says.

1) Navigate to the app you want to delete using the Dot1/4 with spacebar. When 
you get to the app
2) One-finger double-tap and hold on the app. VO should say, and Braille should 
show"Moving [app name]."
3) Lift your finger and double-tap. You'll get a message asking whether you 
want to delete the app. Navigate to the Delete button and double-tap it. (You 
can use your finger or the cursor routing button
here.)
4) Hit your Home button to get out of app editing mode.

HTH,
Dani

Braille commands for deleting app

2016-11-18 Thread Todd Patkus
To all:

 

At this time, I know there is no way for a strong Braille user to delete
apps from his iOS.  No problem for hearing-blind who are speech users.  That
is not fair.

 

We Braille users have every right just as the blind do.

 

Who may be able to tell me how to kill (delete) any unwanted apps?

 

A Braille Sense U2 Mini is what I have here, so make sure you have the right
commands for that task.

 

Thank you.

 

Todd

Hi Todd,

No you are opinionated.  You are just looking at it from your point of view. 
For example you stated the voice memo app is no good for you That might be true 
in your case but people who can hear might want to use this app and I am 
guessing a lot of them do. So if you do not use the app just delete it. It’s 
that simple. I could be like you and say well since I cannot see very well I 
don’t need the camera app as I do not take pictures.  So Apple can take all the 
camera lenses  and all the  camera parts off the iPhone. So just because you 
don’t use something does not mean others don’t use it. So you need to open your 
head up a little and don’t be so hard headed. But I am sure you will not agree 
with any of this because you are so close minded.  You just look at things that 
make sense to you and the things you don’t understand you close your mind off 
to.

updates are made available. I don’t particularly feel we need yearly updates to 
operating systems, but apparently, the majority of those who buy the products 
do appreciate it. There are certainly outstanding bugs in iOS that have 
lingered for far too long, but name a software product in which  one cannot 
make an equally valid statement. Android, Windows, etc … they all have them.

ensure the apps work correctly before releasing them.  Think about it.

Hi Todd,

The good news is that as of iOS 10 you can in fact delete native apps such as 
Mail, Voice Memos, Stocks, Calculator and so on. There are still some which are 
essentials to the operation of the phone which can't be deleted and that of 
course makes sense. These are apps like the App Store, Settings and so on.

Hello there, Sieghard,

I have a Braille Sense U2 Mini, so I would have to find the correct commands 
for that.

As for that app Home, it is totally useless to me, and I have no need for it.  
So I would have kicked that goofy (smile) app out for good.

The only thing I abhor about Apple is that they tend to put many apps on all 
products that are often useless and cannot be deleted completely due to them 
being native apps.  That really sucks!  Yes, these folks at Apple Inc. are 
missing something in a large way.

Not just Apple but other companies do the same.  I just do not understand how 
these folks act like this.  they like to show off by saying there are apps you 
need but the opposite is true.

It is just a real goof on them!

Thank you, Sieghard, for the information concerning the Home app.

Hi Todd,

Apple has come up with a standard for home automation devices. These are things 
like connected thermostats, lights like the Philipps Hue, door locks, automated 
sprinkler control systems, cameras, devices to open and close curtains or 
blinds and so on. If you have any such devices and they support Apple's Home 
Kit standard they will appear in the Home app.

I don't have a braille display, but maybe you know what commands to use if I 
tell you how I delete apps and if you have ever moved apps you are half way 
there. First, if I swipe up or down on any app on any home screen, Voiceover 
says "Arrange Apps". At that point you can swipe up  or down again with one 
finger and this will go back and forth between "Activate Item" or "Move" 
followed by the name of the app.  If you then double tap on "Activate Item" you 
will be asked if you want to delete the app and you can confirm and it will be 
deleted.

Dominique,

I, although not a moderator, can tell you there will be good times and bad 
times.  That is normal.  You do not have to unsubscribe to this list.  Patience 
is a virtue says an old saying, be a little bit patient.  If the members do not 
behave properly, the moderators will take action towards those who continue.

I have seen so many issues like this.  Rich is correct to what he said.

I will let Cara and Mark do the work.

Thanks.

I subscribed to this list recently, and was under the impression that it was 
for discussing iPhone related topics, and that's what I wanted to join an 
iPhone list for, but this thread has absolutely nothing at all to do with 
iPhones and should be discontinued as members are slandering and being abusive 
to others, and other members, like me, don't need this, and because of this, I 
am really considering unsubscribing from this list.  I wanted to join a happy 
list to discuss all things iPhone related, but sadly, this list is not 
fulfilling this for me at the moment.

I e-mailed Cara last night and have heard nothing at all from her.

Subject: changing topic how to stop harassment

How do I contact admin? This harassment has gone on for 4 years. I have 
invited Mr. Patel to file a lawsuit against me if he thinks I owe him money 
which I do not, but instead he has for 4 years attempted to harass me in 
public forums, attempted !be other person to obtain more personal info and the 
like. He has mad to being on any blind groups a nightmare. I am certainly 
hoping that the rest of this list might stand up with me and ask for this to 
stop. I asked a prior list admin to please ask Mr. Patel to stop tha that 
least publicly, but I was told this was a personal matter. I can ignore his 
personal attacks, delete is wonderful for that, but when he does this 
publicly, it impedes my abiltion to ask questions or my desire to answer 
others. Thank you Eden Kizer

Shaf,

What Rich said stands truthful.

Your behavior is being monitored by the NSA.  You need to behave a better 
person, or else, you could be removed from this list.

You have only two choices:

Show good behavior and you will stay.

Continue behaving immaturely, you are out.

Yes, it is up to Mark and Cara.

Think twice.

Shaf,

Even if Eden did what you said, it's your word against hers, that really is not 
something you should bother this or other groups with. If I were the moderator 
which fortunately for you I am not, you'd already be gone from this list. As 
Eden said, if you have a legit claim against her then pursue it in the normal 
and legal ways, but either way just quit it already on this list, please.

Pay your debts, stop stealing from individuals, stop lying and make amends with

I subscribed to this list recently, and was under the impression that it was
for discussing iPhone related topics, and that's what I wanted to join an
iPhone list for, but this thread has absolutely nothing at all to do with
iPhones and should be discontinued as members are slandering and being 
abusive
to others, and other members, like me, don't need this, and because of this, 
I
am really considering unsubscribing from this list.  I wanted to join a

list to discuss all things iPhone related, but sadly, this list is not
fulfilling this for me at the moment.

Tod,

Yes! Press the sleep/wake button on the right of the phone, holding it down 
for a few seconds. Hopefully, your braille display will say "swipe to turn 
off", doubletap on that, in which ever way you do that. Leave your phone for a 
minute, just to clear its memory of unnecessary stuff and then press the 
sleep/wake button again, holding it in for about 3 seconds and wait! It might 
take your phone a little while to sort itself out, it is a sort of reboot. 
after a while, you whould see another message on your braille display. With my 
phone, I find myself on the last app used or the home screen.

Hope this helps, Sandy.

You can also tell Siri to send a message to John Smith, Bob, and Jane Jones.  
Just make sure to add a last name to any multiple names you have in your

Hi Todd,

 

Type in the first few characters of the first person's name. If the person is 
in your contacts, you'll find options such as their mobile number or email 
address. Double-tap the one you want. If the person isn't in your contacts, 
type their email address or phone number.

 

Then do the same thing again; start typing the next person's name, and select

If this is done as described, does it mean the receivers would still see email 
addresses/mobile numbers just as you do in Outlook by inserting a common right 
after the last character then a new email address in the To: field?  Or you do 
not see anyone, just the sender’s address alone?

RE: color id app

2016-11-15 Thread Todd Patkus
Rich,

 

I noticed the same thing as you said below months ago after downloading that 
Color ID app.  I can tell by the way it behaves, not from VO, but from what the 
Braille Sense U2 Mini Braille display said in Braille.

 

If you or I moved the iPhone a little bit, it will make the camera see 
something where the color is still the same but makes the camera think 
differently.

 

I have not used the app for a long time now.  It needs some improvements.

 

My U2 Mini is muted so Braille is the only means.

What does it mean when it says Focus unlocked image?

 

That is concerning iPhone 6S iOS 10.1.1.

No need to explain.  I did understand Sieghard’s statement, but I simply

Subject: Bookshare Funding

 

Greetings,

I ran across this on another list.

Please, if you live in the United States, contact your Senators and 
Representatives.

The below comes from the Dyslexic Advantage web site.  

 

We Need to Save Bookshare!

 

The issue: The House of Representatives proposed eliminating funding for 
Bookshare in the FY2017  Labor-H appropriations bill passed in July. The 
Technology and Media budget line that includes Bookshare and other national 
special education programs was drastically cut from $30 million to $16 million. 
 

 

The background: Senate bill passed at $30 million; level funding from FY2016. 
Both the House and Senate bills include language acknowledging Bookshare’s 
great work. 

 

What happened? The House funded only continuation awards.  However, Bookshare’s 
funding must be renewed in the coming fiscal year. As a result, the House 
proposal effectively places Bookshare on the chopping block.  

 

This is a major threat to one of the nation’s most effective and efficient 
special educational programs. We need the House to restore this cut so that 
Bookshare can continue to serve children with disabilities and ensure that 
children in the most underserved communities have access. 

 

What is Bookshare, and why is it so important? Benetech’s Bookshare project 
provides free access to an online library of accessible texts for all U.S.  
students with a qualified print disability such as a vision impairment or 
dyslexia.  

 

Bookshare currently has 400,000+ members and nearly 450,000+ titles—members 
have downloaded over 10 million books.  Under IDEA, schools are required to 
provide students with these disabilities accessible versions of the books they 
need for school: braille, large print, and audio versions of their books.  
National programs like Bookshare take up less than 5% of the formula grant 
funding that goes to states and local school districts. Paying for these 
services in each local district, would cost them far more. 

Bookshare is more than 15 times less expensive per book delivered than the 
prior national program operator: that means we solve the majority of the 
problem with much less money than was spent annually more than a decade ago. 

 

Without Bookshare, school districts, parents and students will have to revert 
back to scanning their own books—a costly process that impedes students from 
accessing books they need. 

 

“Words cannot begin to describe the difference that Bookshare has made in our 
son’s life. Now, we cannot pull him away from it as he spends every spare 
moment reading one to two books per week! The constant reading has dramatically 
improved his writing and vocabulary which in turn has increased his grades 
significantly to all A's and B's. He now has an inspired desire to learn.”

RE: Outlook App issue, I think

2016-11-11 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

 

With this particular issue, I never bother such so I stay out.

 

Yes to http and https differing each other.

 

Years back, the US federal government took strong action by taking about 100 or 
so websites, meaning shutting them all down for good.  Many were scammers and 
also “fake” sites to try to collect money, but they were caught off and 
eradicated!

 

If I see something like this, I stay away from it.

 

Better safe than sorry!

 

Todd

Hi Richard,

 

While I agree this looks suspicious, in this case it is a legitimate message. 
There are actually no links in that message asking to click somewhere to go to 
your Outlook.com account and sign in and when I Googled this I easily found the 
below Microsoft support article which clearly comes from a secure (https) 
Microsoft site:

 

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Reconnect-Outlook-2016-or-Outlook-2013-to-Outlook-com-to-fix-issues-after-Outlook-com-upgrade-cda1751d-9503-40bf-bf76-e79454ac5eb3

 

This describes the same thing just in a bit more detail. I believe it was 
actually Terri who last week posted something about some emails not showing up 
in her Outlook 2016 application which are there online and that is one symptom 
described in the article so I think if you do get this message following the 
steps outlined is something that is definitely a good idea to do.

I didn't read all of your message, but if you didn't say this, I want to make 
sure everyone knows that message supposedly from Microsoft is a phishing scam. 
If you followed their directions, you need to go and change your Outlook 
password before you have allowed someone to access your account.

That message is not from Microsoft. Look at the address:

outl...@email2.office.com  

and that is not a real Microsoft address.

If you were able to sign in online then maybe you somehow type the password

Action Required: Re-connect Outlook 2016/2013 to Outlook.com 
  after upgrade
The message that follows starts like this (I did not list all of the message, 
if you haven't received it yet you don't have to worry about it anyways):
Earlier this year we introduced the new Outlook.com  , 
which helps you focus on what matters, collaborate effortlessly, and get more 
done.
As part of the Outlook.com   upgrade, we have moved your 
account to a more secure and reliable infrastructure.
Now that your Outlook.com   account has been upgraded, 
you’ll need to re-connect Outlook 2016 or Outlook 2013 to your Outlook.com 
  account to ensure the best experience.
If you do not re-connect to your upgraded Outlook.com   
account, you may experience email or calendar sync issues, unintended 
recipients getting added when replying to emails, or other issues listed  here.

Now, this only talks about reconnecting to Outlook.com   
from Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016, it does not mention the Outlook app for 
iPhone or Android. However, to be on the safe side, I am also going to delete 
my Outlook account on my iPhone and set it up again just to be sure it all 
works correctly. For the PC they mention two methods, one of them also is to 
delete the account and set it up again, to me this sounds easier than the other 
method and I'll do that.

Although, I wouldn't know where else the problem could be.


About an hour ago, I started having problems receiving mail on my phone,

But every time I go to the Outlook app, I am asked to sign in, because 
there has been a problem with my account. So I try to do this, and I am

Hi Todd,

 

This email is intended as a friendly email not as an insult even though I know 
you’ll probably take it as the latter.

 

I suggest you consider how you reply to emails which are direct replies to 
something you posted and are intended to help you. You posted you couldn’t find 
“Pedometer ++”. I noticed you put a space between “Pedometer” and “++” and 
simply pointed this out saying that if you search for “Pedometer++” without a 
space you find it easily. You then reply with “Let this go” which sounds as if 
I had sent you 10 emails pointing this out and just wouldn’t stop harassing 
you. If you continue to do this you will soon get no replies from people as 
nobody feels like being put down when they are trying to help. Also, replies 
like “Search on Amazon and you’ll find this” or whatever the wording was you 
sent as a reply to Vicky’s question about suggestions for good wall chargers 
does not help, I’m sure Vicky knows how to search Amazon, but if somebody asks 
for recommendations then replies should contain the name of the product under 
discussion and what you find good or not good about it. Replying with “Look on 
Amazon” or why don’t you Google this are just adding to the number of useless 
posts on the list. We are all here to help each other and sometimes people here 
ask simple questions which many of us know, sometimes a member may just not be 
good at searching on Google or Amazon and all they want is a bit of extra help 
from those of us who are good at it and there is nothing wrong with it, in 
fact, what is wrong with it is if they get replies like “You can find it on 
Amazon”. Why not say “Here is what I searched for on Amazon (or Google) and 
below is a link”, this way maybe the person actually learned something from 
your reply and is more encouraged to try to search next time.

I know that I will probably get a bad reply from you to this email, but I think 
if you want to be a productive and valued member in this group you need to 
relax and follow the rules. If you aren’t sure what they are maybe Mark or Cara 
can repost some of the guidelines which have been posted here from time to time.

someone could recommend a good one.

 

Thanks.

RE: Pedometer

2016-11-11 Thread Todd Patkus
Rich,

 

I did type “pedometer++” in Search while in app store, yes, and it showed 
nothing like this.

 

Rich, how did you do that?  You pressed on the search tab to make it become 
search then typed “pedometer” by itself?

 

Thank you, Mr. McGann!  Smile

when I was at app store, I hit search,  and I typed pedometer and entered. I 
went through and I found pedometer++ as it is free app. mr. ed, yes, I confirm 
I see it. I believe others would say yes they see it after typing pedometer. oh

There is no Pedometer++ anywhere in the app store app.

 

Only Pedometer by itself.  It comes in a few different formats:

 

Step counter, calorie, Pacer, but no Pedometer++.

 

It says it is free for iPhone and Apple.

 

That is all.

Hi Group,

I just want to tell everyone about the Pedometer++ app. This is a great little 
app that keep track of how far you walk. It is very accessible with VO. It is 
also free. So if you are looking for a simple app to use to keep tracked of 

how many steps you walk and how many miles. This app also keep track of every 
day and goes back quite a ways. So you can always go back and see what you did 
on that day. This is a great app to use. They also have great technical 
support.

Subject: Auto switching of calls from earpiece to speakerphone

 

Hi List,

 

I am wondering if others experience this annoying issue where when you dial a 
call and it starts ringing in the earpiece you then place your phone against 
your ear and as soon as the other party answers the call decides to switch to 
speakerphone. You have to take the phone away from the ear, wait a second or 
two and then put it back up to your face before it usually switches back to the 
earpiece. Of course if you are in a public place this can be annoying since 
usually the other party can't hear you right away and keeps asking what's going 
on.

In my opinion this is not a hardware issue since this happened on my 6S Plus 
which was just replaced under warranty and the new phone has the exact same 
issue. This replacement phone was also set up as a new phone and was not 
restored from a backup.

I seem to remember that this started happening when I started to use Ios 10 and 
so far it continues to happen almost 100% of the time, from time to time I make 
a call and it does not happen. At the same time if I start a call and then put 
the phone to my face and take it away or put my hand over the top of the phone 
and then take it away to trigger the audio to go to speakerphone, the call 
usually reverts to the earpiece when somebody answers so the issues seems to go 
both ways.

 

 

Best regards,

Sieghard

RE: Quick Question for Apple iOS Beta Testers

2016-11-08 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

It is you who said it, but it is not my opinion.  All I was doing is making a 
clear statement that public beta is simply useless.  I have no use for them, so 
I simply leave them out and press onward.

Not my opinion but simply a simple fact that beta is almost always a waste.  No 
thanks to these useless beta stuff!

Thanks.

Todd

Subject: RE: Quick Question for Apple iOS Beta Testers

Hi Todd,

It's of course your choice and everybody's choice if they participate in public 
betas or apply to participate in private betas. I do strongly believe, however, 
that beta releases in general are a great opportunity not only to report bugs, 
but also to provide feedback on new features a developer has added or is 
looking to improve even if said features work just fine without bugs. Sonos is 
a good example. For those who don't know Sonos, they make a number of wireless 
music players you can deploy around your home to bring music (or other audio) 
to various rooms. The equipment is controlled with the Sonos app and Sonos has 
a very active private beta community and they release new versions of the app 
which include new features which need to be tested and many Sonos enthusiasts 
love doing this and giving them feedback on how well things work or what needs 
to be improved and also what other features should be added later. There are a 
lot of very capable people out there who as a group can greatly help developers 
because especially when it comes to Android devices, no developer can have all 
the devices that exist in order to test their app on said devices under certain 
conditions. Everybody else does benefit from the final release even if the 
final release still contains bugs and you may think betas are useless and a 
waste of time. Of course it is not for everybody to beta test and that's 
perfectly OK, but I have personally approached developers where I wanted to use 
and app and found it lacked accessibility and in many cases the developers were 
very willing to make improvements which I then beta tested and provided 
feedback.When the app was later released with much better accessibility it of 
course benefited me, but it also benefited all others who then enjoyed the app 
which I helped to make accessible and there are many on this list who have done 
the same with apps they found interesting and useful. The Netatmo Weather 
Station is one example, it was basically useless until I contacted the 
developer after I bought a weather station and found I could not use it. It 
could still use some improvements and after the initial work they did the 
developer has been less enthusiastic to continue, but it is very useable as it 
is now and many others on this list have bought a Netatmo Weather Station and 
are enjoying the fact they can have access to indoor and outdoor temperature, 
indoor CO2 levels and rainfall amounts and wind speed. Sonos again is another 
example, accessibility was sorely lacking and here several others as well as 
myself relentlessly went after Sonos and bugged them until they realized that 
the Sonos system was of great interest to the blind and in around 2011 or 2012 
there was a turning point when the company made acccessibility a priority and 
ever since each release has been accessible and even some features which 
initially were not accessible like TruePlay tuning eventually were made 
accessible.
OK, enough said, hopefully I was able to explain that beta testing, both 
private and public, is of value and that everybody benefit from the many hours 
beta testers spend testing and reporting issues and providing feedback on new 
features. Beyond that everybody is entitled to their opinion and what I wrote 
above explains mine.

Sieghard

Hello,

I just had my sighted husband call me and answered the call on the Apple Watch. 
Neither of us could find either a dial pad or a way to activate a dial pad. 
After we hung up, I asked Siri to open the Phone app on the watch. There were 
options for Favorites, Recents, Contacts, and VoiceMail, but no keyboard. If 
anyone has accessed a dial pad on their Apple Watch before or during a phone 
call, please let us all know how you did it.

Hi Anna,

 

That's amazing, I really don't undersand why there isn't a DialPad, definitely 
something I will have to submit as feedback/a feature request. 

I did check under Settings > Phone and for "Calls on other devices" it says 
"When Nearby". If I double tap on that it says that it is turned on and that is 
the only setting I see.

Unfortunately Telus, one of the 3 big carriers in Canada, for some reason does 
not yet offer Wi-Fi calling, hopefully this will change soon.

 

I wonder why my Watch didn't ring then yesterday since my phone was connected 
to my store's WiFi network and according to what you said this means my watch 
should also be connected.

 

Another oddity I noticed is that when I open the Messages app I saw all my 
messages, but a few of the iMessage threads I had deleted on my phone, but they 
still showed up on the watch. Shouldn't they go away on the watch if they are 
deleted on the phone.

 

Thanks,

Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,

 

No, there's no dial pad for the phone on the watch. There aren't Wi-Fi settings 
either, but your watch does have Wi-Fi capability, and it will join any network 
that your phone has joined. As a result, you can get iMessages and 
notifications even if your phone is off. I believe that if your phone and watch 
are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can get calls on your watch if you 
have Wi-Fi Calling turned on. Note that not all cell networks allow Wi-Fi 
calling. Check in Phone Settings on your phone. Wi-Fi Calling and Calls on 
Other Devices should both be turned on.

 

I hope that's of some help.

 

Best,

Anna

Hi Watchers (is that a good name to call us Apple Watch users?),

 

I am fairly new to the Apple Watch. Am I missing something or is there no 
DialPad in the phone app on the Apple Watch? If so I really hope Apple will fix 
this because this means you can’t use it at all to make phone calls to anywhere 
you may have to enter an extension or press a number to reach a certain 
department etc. Nowadays this means most phone calls to larger and medium sized 
companies are not possible with the Apple Watch since so many businesses 
nowadays have auto-answer systems where you do have to press some numbers. It’s 
not as if it couldn’t be done, after all there is a keypad for entering your 
passcode which is basically the same as the Dialpad of the phone app without 
the Asterisk and Number keys.

 

Also, I thought the Apple Watch used WiFi, but I don’t see a WiFi setting 
anywhere, just bluetooth. Yesterday I had left my phone in the office at my 
retail store and was up front with a customer, maybe 50 or 60 feet away from 
the office. I heard my phone ring in the office, but my Apple Watch didn’t 
ring, it then started ringing as I walked a bit closer, but by then it was too 
late to pick up the call before it went to voice mail.

Sieghard

Hi. Best to let the moderators deal with the offenders of the NDA because

Todd, that's your opinion about the betas, but I have hope that Apple will 
address some of our issues. Not right away but when they can. As for using a 
beta on a primary or secondary device, I only have an iPhone so I use beta 
software on it. Same with my Mac and Sierra. If I had the money, maybe I'd use 
a secondary device, but for now I don't mind the bugs to not use beta software 
on my primary devices.

Hello, everyone.

It might be of interest to a number of you that the latest release of
the Gmail app for iOS devices operates somewhat differently with
VoiceOver than did previous versions, and based on the testing I have
done, the app has improved for VoiceOver users.  In earlier versions,
if one wanted to delete a message from the message index, one would
have to check a checkbox next to its header information and then press
a "Delete" button.  Now, double-tap and holding the button
corresponding to the unwanted message places the app in a "Select"
mode.  The user can then move down the list of messages and simply
double-tap the unwanted ones; the "hold" gesture needs to be used only
on the first undesired  message.  Then, once the "delete" list has
been compiled, the "Delete" button can be activated.  There are other
ways to get rid of messages, but I don't want to make this message
overly long.  There is also an "Undo" button which evidently allows
the user to take back a number of actions.  I have not tested this
function yet.  Most gratifying is the possibility that the bug which
prevented text editing of the body of a message may have been
squashed, at least if the user is typing on the on-screen keyboard.  I
haven't tested it with a Bluetooth keyboard yet.

RE: questions regarding police scanning Apps

2016-11-07 Thread Todd Patkus
Robin,

I see it.

When Andy said "scanner Deluxe", it sounded more likely to be similar to the 
KNFB app that scans printed materials into images.

He could have used a different word to make it more accurate so as to avoid 
confusion.

Hi,
I'm not Andy but perhaps I can clarify.
Scanner Deluxe refers to an app that allows the hearing of streams of police 
radio communications. the physical devices some use to listen or stream this 
audio from are called scanners as they scan the frequencies first responders 
broadcast on. It has nothing to do with apps that scan in images of text to 
turn into speech output.  I hope this helps.

Hello everyone,


I just have a quick question I hope someone can help me with.


I was wondering, is there possibly a better App out there, for finding police 
and other type feeds?

I am currently using 50 Radio Pro. I have the paid version. I've had this App 
for a few years now.

I like it alright, but it doesn't seem to have many feeds in my area. I don't 
know why this is. And it is as though they have removed a couple of feeds. I 
have found a few other feeds using Tune-in.

I live outside of Saint Louis. So you would think there would be many.
But I guess not.


Any help, or thoughts on this would be appreciated.


Thank you,


Terri

To Flor and Shaf

2016-11-06 Thread Todd Patkus
Both,

 

Despite your statements, I am simply firm about what was said in the first
place.  Therefore, you cannot tell anyoen what to do and cannot force them
to go with UEB.

 

Shaf, yes, UEB definitely really sucks.  I have found it totally shoddy and
too many unnecessary characters that are, again, useless eating up even more
of paper!  I do not follow these shoddy stuff.  I keep all my equipment set
in computer Braille and set to eight dots.  That is it.

 

Flor, you need to understand not all will agree what you said.

 

Both:  I did not read all.  I do not care.

 

Plezse, this is the bottom line.

 

Thanks.

RE: iOS app & Outlook

2016-11-06 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

 

Bootcamp is installed in a Mac, yes, and you can do anything using Bootcamp to 
make files look Windows.  For example, you are on a Mac now, you use Bootcamp 
to type a document the same way as you do in Windows but on a Mac.  When you 
are done, your file comes to me as a Word file.

 

At Perkins, my alma mater, all computers there are Macs but the staff use 
Bootcamp to do the same in Windows.  They send hundreds of emails in HTML, so 
the readers receive their emails but do not know their emails were done on Macs 
under Bootcamp.

 

I have received hundreds of emails from Perkins like this but never notice they 
were done on Macs!

Please NO trivial stuff.

 

Sieghard, all I need to know to which app you were talking about—mail app in 
iOS or something else.

 

If you mean the mail app in iOS, I do not like that app that much.  Many cons 
there.

 

I prefer Outlook where a lot more can be performed while the mail app lacks a 
lot.  That is it.

Whenever one says “native” or “stock” in front of an app that usually refers to 
the app that comes preinstalled with iOS. So, the “native mail app” or “stock 
mail app” is just the app that is on all iOS devices by default and it is 
simply called “Mail” on the device.

The iOS Outlook app is quite accessible and has some nice features such as 
integration with OneDrive, Dropbox and other cloud file storage solutions, but 
I nonetheless prefer the native mail app. It is a free app so you can always 
give it a try and see how you like it.

I saw someone on this list talking about Outlook.

 

If so, is there a good app for iOS 10.x.x on an iPhone that acts like Bootcamp

Hello,
I've been hearing that apple has good security. If you do have money on the 
account, it does ask a few times. However, if you don't have money, before the 
purchase takes place, you are asked to set up a payment method.

RE: Folders & passwords

2016-11-06 Thread Todd Patkus
Sieghard,

I remind you that there were a few occasions when Apple computers were hacked!

Since more and kids learn computing very early of age, they could possibly be 
able to find a subtle/underlying way to craftily/slyly sneak and suck billions 
of US dollars!  If it ever happens, I would not be surprised.  I would just nod 
at Apple.  Smile

Rich, think of this.

Yes, that may be true if you don't have a card associated with your account. 
Most people, however, do have a credit card associated with their account and 
in that case in-app purchases are happily getting billed to the card on file. 
It is said that Apple has the largest collection of complete user information 
with names, addresses, phone numbers, email accounts and payment information in 
the world. They are probably the constant target of hacking attempts as well, 
let's hope they are smarter than the hackers and have very good encryption.

 Is there an app or a way to create a folder & password protect the folder? My 
6 year old keeps changing things in Settings on his iPad & taking useless 
photos.  So what I would like to be able to do is create a folder & add apps 
like Settings, iTunes, App store & Camera in the folder & password protect the
