Re: Sending text message as email

[Wayne Merritt]

If you have email setup on your iOS device, you could use the copy to
clipboard VO command of a 3 finger quadruple tap to copy that text to
the clipboard, then bring up mail, compose a new message with the
group of people filled in, and paste the clipboard text in the message
body. Again though, this is assuming you have an email account set in
the iOS Mail app. If not, then go to Settings, Mail, and Accounts, and
double tap the add account button.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: question on texting.

[Wayne Merritt]

Yes, you can. If you have predictive text turned on in the
General/Keyboard section of Settings, you can see some suggestions as
you type. For VoiceOver users these are above the keyboard, but
perhaps they appear visually below the keyboard for "sighties," not
sure on that. This is a feature that I use regularly over the
autocorrect, which quickly gets annoying. Besides, predictive words
don't make any sound, so I can choose whether to use or not use them.
Verses autocorrect, which makes the annoying popping sound each time I
write a few letters. Anyway, hope that helps.

Re: Apple Releases iOS 10.2; Bringing Fixes, But Also Some New Bugs for VoiceOver and Focus Braille Display Users

[Wayne Merritt]

I've had this happen several times in 10.1.1, and I have fixed it by
going to the phone and then swiping away from the time elapsed
adjustable item to something else on the screen. This seems to stop
it. It is very annoying to constantly hear the time elapsed/1
notification announcement repeated.

Re: Problem

[Wayne Merritt]

The site where it happened this weekend was a site that probably has
it's own accessibility issues:
www.megabus.com
I was trying to fill out the date field, and after writing a few
numbers in the date, the field disappeared. This was one where when my
wife looked without VoiceOver, she had some issues herself. Though the
keyboard did not disappear for her, it was not obvious how to buy
tickets from that site. I will keep watching this behavior to get some
sort of pattern. I don't use Safari all the time, but I do use it
fairly often.

Re: Problem

Rajmund, I must be rapidly touching something outside of the edit
field then because as soon as I hit space or after I have typed a few
letters, the keyboard immediately disappears. I go to type another
letter, and find that the keyboard has been replaced by the web page.
Several times I have had to get my sighted wife to turn VoiceOver off
and fill out the form for me. I don't think this happened with the
initial release of iOS 10. I'm using iOS 10.1.1 on an iPhone 7.

Re: Problem

[Wayne Merritt]

When writing in the edit field and the content disappears, do you mean
the content you wrote or the keyboard? I have had several issues with
Safari where I am writing something in an edit field and the virtual
keyboard will suddenly disappear. It is terribly frustrating since I
can only write a few letters or words at a time and then have to find
the edit field and get the keyboard back to write more.

Re: Having to restart voice over

[Wayne Merritt]

I have had it happen too on an iPhone 7 with Alex as my voice. I have
had Alex stop speaking but the VO sounds play, and have had to mute
and unmute the speech and in some cases turn VoiceOver off and back on
again. The other day I had to turn VO off and on a couple of times
before it came back. I can't pinpoint what situations it has happened
since it can pop up at totally random times. Sometimes it happens when
I am swiftly going through icons on an app for example, but it doesn't
seem like it happens in the same apps. Or not that I've noticed
anyway.

Re: How can I make folders for photos, and label photos

[Wayne Merritt]

While this is an option, I was under the impression that if you
labeled a picture with a description and then took another picture
that was unlabeled, the description you put on the first one would be
lost or associated with the second picture. In other words, the order
and labels of the pictures would be messed up. Is this right? If I
need to know what a picture has in it, I will generally use TapTapSee
or perhaps the new iDentifi app.

Re: An Accessible App for reading PDF files

[Wayne Merritt]

Perhaps Microsoft Word or Pages from Apple. Both of these are free
word processors. How accessible they are for editing PDF files though
may be another question. If you have a 64 gig device, then you should
have gotten Pages when you first got your device. If you don't have
it, then go to the App Store and you can download again or search for
it.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: iTunes match

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I read an article back in August I think that Apple was taking
what was good about iTunes Match and combining it with Aple Music. The
article said that all current iTunes Match subscribers would slowly be
converted to Apple Music, and that you would not be charged for
another year of iTunes Match. Perhaps this is what you are seeing. If
you don't subscribe to Apple Music then I'm not sure what happens
there. Personally, I am glad that iTunes Match is rolling into Apple
Music, that makes more sense to me to have them as one service and
have the best features of both. That article I mentioned I'm pretty
sure was widely published on the various Apple news sites, like iMore.

Re: emoticons on iPhone

[Wayne Merritt]

No, just type the name of the animal, person or object and then switch
to the emoji keyboard. As soon as you switch to the emoji keyboard and
then touch the editable text area, your focus should already be on the
emoji rodar item, but there's no harm in swiveling back and forth just
to be sure. The emoji rodar item is not something that would be listed
in VoiceOver settings. If you have typed an emoji representation and
switch to the emoji keyboard, then this item will automatically appear
in your rodar.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: RE: RE: audio books on tune in

[Wayne Merritt]

Does anyone know if with TuneIn if you can listen to books at variable
speed? I looked into listening to audio books in TuneIn several months
ago but was disappointed when I saw that I was unable to speed up the
audio playback of the book. If I could make it read faster than
normal, then this would definitely open up more options for hearing
current best-sellers.

Re: problems with downcast

[Wayne Merritt]

I have not encountered that issue and I use Downcast regularly. When
you choose a podcast, do you mean that you are picking the podcast
name to listen to that has the list of episodes, or are you picking a
particular episode to listen to and a different episode plays? Please
explain.

Re: Fleksy goHi list. I saw a post from someone else who found their version of Fleksy vO just like me. I was wondering if since it is not in the app store anymore is there a way to share the program.

[Wayne Merritt]

Not sure if you know, but you wrote the message in the subject.
Regarding Fleksy VO, if it is not in the App Store, you would not be
able to share it from there. If however you still have it on your
device, you could go into the Fleksy VO app, and swipe down to the
share item, or go to it's settings and find share there. I haven't
used it in awhile so can't say exactly where share would be. I haven't
deleted it from my phone though since it really is useful every so
often. With Braille Screen Input being my main method of text entry, I
haven't needed Fleksy VO.

Re: KNFB Reader on the Go

[Wayne Merritt]

For those that also missed out on the sale, the app is usually
discounted about 25 percent around Christmas. I don't use it often,
but I don't regret the purchase either. The ability to read print
independently is a good thing to have.

Re: iAssociate

[Wayne Merritt]

I've dictated, entered manually, and have used Braille screen Input.
Regarding Jewel's question, I've been playing for around 3 years or
more. That game has a lot of re-play value for me. I've thought of
deleting it, but then find myself going back and working on more
puzzles and associations. That game has also given me a lot of "ah
ha!" moments in the middle of the night. I really enjoyed the Around
the House level, though hat was also hard at times.

Re: iAssociate: what does this mean

[Wayne Merritt]

Jewel,
Thanks for the complement. I think that the number after the level's
name refers to your ranking among the people that have completed that
level. I'm not sure how to get the medals and awards through Game
Center. From what I understand, one would use Game Center to play with
other people online, and I don't think that you can play or challenge
others with iAssociate.

Re: deleting blindsquare app nolonger possible on my iphone after factory settings

[Wayne Merritt]

I know of someone with a similar situation, where when they went to
update an app through the App Store, the home screen said waiting on
the app's name. They ended up having to do a reset on their device by
holding the home and power buttons for 10 to 15 seconds. This will not
erase any data, apps or settings. If that doesn't work, you might
consider doing a restore from iTunes or reset from General settings.
Make sure you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud before restoring your
device.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: iAssociate

[Wayne Merritt]

Jewel,
yes, you are correct. For you there are 170 levels left to buy. I've
bought quite  afew over the last few years, though new ones are added
all the time. For me, there are 51 levels left to buy. You are right
about the variety of topics within a level. I've also noticed that
there are certain words and associations which appear in many levels,
like cat, dog, milk, coffee, pet, seasons, and so forth. There is a
way to start completely over from scratch, but I don't recall how I
did it before. I may have deleted the app but I don't remember. I was
at 2.5 million before I started over, and ow I'm at over 5 million in
total points. Restarting means that all of the levels you've completed
would be incomplete. This was fun to do again, but certain levels that
were included were also really hard, like Forces of Nature and others.
With some levels, you can tell by their names that they are easier,
like Winter Wonderland. Since playing the game, Google has become my
friend for looking up the answers. My wife and I both enjoy playing.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: iAssociate

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I have played and bought levels from iAssociate 2. The trick is
to go to the More Levels tab at the bottom and flick through the
various levels listed. To purchase levels with tokens, double tap the
token value for the level, like 995 or 895, and then you will have to
confirm your purchase and then double tap OK. To buy levels, double
tap the price for each level like $0.99 (in uS currency), and then
double tap the confirm and OK buttons respectively. Whether you use
tokens or money to purchase, yoru newly bought levels will appear in
the levels tab.

Regarding your other question about having to buy levels for a free
game, this is very common among iOS games. Many games or other apps
are free but have in-app purchases. Consider for instance the
Blindfold series of games. The developer started out making games wich
were fre but which had one time purchases, but he found that money was
not coming in nearly as often. So he switched to having people
purchase multiple times per game, or pay one flat purchase which was
usually more, to play the game unlimited times. I would prefer to buy
once and play a number of times before I have to buy again. Thus, I
haven't bought many of the unlimited play games from Blindfold,
andwill generally pay $5 or $10 in iAssociate to unlock 10,000 or more
tokens to spend on multiple levels over time. I haven't bought many
levels recently in iAssociate since there are not as many that appeal
to me, and I dont' play it as often as I once did. But I still come
back to it every so often.

Hth,
Wayne

Re: Question regarding battery life, and phone getting warm

[Wayne Merritt]

Anything that uses GPS or the camera will usually use more battery
power than other apps. There are also the exceptions, like Facebook
and perhaps that Rogers app, which also use a lot of battery power. I
regularly tell students to close the GPS and camera apps when they are
done using them. When I gave my older iPhone to my wife several years
ago, she thought that just because she went to the home screen, the
phone would automatically take care of her apps. She was telling me
that she started at a full charge early in the morning, and by 10am,
her battery was down to 10 percent. I looked at her phone and saw that
she had around 40 apps in the App Switcher; no wonder her battery was
dropping faster than the stock market. Things are better today since
we both have the iPhone 7, and these newer phones manage apps and
processes much better. Still, I try to restart my phone at least once
a week and keepa  close watch on how many apps are in the App
Switcher. In doing these things, my battery generally lasts between 13
and 16 hours a day before I need to charge. For full disclosure, I use
to have the Apple smart Battery Case for my 6S and that was awesome.
However, with the 7, you get an extra 1-2 hours of battery life and
the phone is a lot better about managing things, that I really don't
need one anymore.

Re: Looking for some apps, need help!

[Wayne Merritt]

I know you said that $10 is your max, but if you can go a few dollars
more, you might look at Sling TV. I looked into it a few months ago
and they offer many different packages as add-ons to a basic package.
I think that Sling TV costs about $20 monthly and then each add-on
package which is themed, like movies, cartoons, kids, etc; is an
additional $5. Sling has an iPhone and Apple TV app. I have heard some
say that the iPhone app is not very accessible, not sure on the Apple
TV app. I heard a demonstration on Main Menu with the Sling TV app on
the Apple TV a few months ago and it sounded pretty accessible. Aside
from Sling TV, I don't know if you're going to find a lot of options
out there for cheap. If you do, please pass it along. I also don't
have Cable, partly for the price but also I don't watch TV often
enough to justify getting Cable. Plus, there's nothing good on Cable
anymore anyway, at least compared to 15 or more years ago.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: iOS10 High-Quality voices and hearing-impairments experiences?

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. I use Alex as my primary voice, along with the Tom high quality
voice on my iPhone 7. Though I mostly use Alex, I was impressed by how
clear and a touch louder the Tom voice was on the phone. I haven't had
any trouble understanding Tom, but there are probably differences in
what you can hear and what I can hear. I should say too that I can
understand Tom with or without my hearing aids in. I typically find
the Compact voices to be more muffled, but as I say your milage may
vary.

I generally will do this no matter which ride share app I am using.
Often the drivers appreciate it since they know what to look for.

Re: Vehicle locator GPS app

[Wayne Merritt]

One thing to note about nearby Explorer: it also includes turn by turn
directions. If you are looking for this as well as street
identification, then great. If however you are just looking for a way
to ID the streess as you pass them, then you may not want to pay $80,
even if it is all at once. For a while there was a free app called
iMove which did this and a few other things. You might check the
AppleVis site for more ideas:

Re: Network Connection In Progress

[Wayne Merritt]

I don't have Wifi Assist turned on and I see the "network connection
in progress" many times in my status bar. I really haven't worried
about it very much. Also, in general, I find that from time to time
when I do iOS updates, some settings are turned on or off to their
default states, like the Wifi Assist. Other settings that have been
toggled one way or another for me include but not limited to:
Bluetooth, background app refresh, location services, and the list
goes on. I think it is worth going through your settings at least
after each major update and perhaps even every so often to see if
something has been changed. Yes, it takes awhile, but you might be
surprised what has been put at it's default "On" state, like the Wifi
Assist.

 have is not so much with the feature, but with the fact that it's on by

 default.
 Many average users are not even aware of this setting especially since
 it's hidden way below all the apps listed in Cellular settings so it can

 just not be a good thing for people who don't have a lot of data and who

 wonder why they are using so much of it.

 I have to disagree with Sieghard about turning off wifi assist (unless
 you
 simply never leave home).  I've been away from home in locations which
 were supposed to provide free wifi, but what I've found is that their
 wifi
 was so excessively slow, or the signal was so excessively poor, that I
 could not use the internet at all without having wifi assist enabled to

 switch over to use of cellular data.

 I suppose I could keep trying and failing with the wifi, until I figured

 out it wasn't going to work, then tell it to go "forget this network",
 so
 it would then use my cellular data, but on my next visit it could work
 ok,
 but since I had to "forget" the network in order to use cell data, I'd
 never know without going through all that again.

 I guess I am never this close to using every last byte of my cell data
 plan, so I don't have to worry about it, and I simply want my phone to
 work and work quickly (especially since I use siri to execute a lot of
 my
 commands, and it needs internet access to even parse and execute my
 commands).

 Hi Arnold,

 Maybe check in Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services.

 This is at the end of location services and I would turn off most of
 what
 is in there except of course Find my iPhone and so on. But there are
 things like traffic, frequent places, cell network search, Wi-fi Network

 search, automatic time zone and all of that which you can turn off,
 maybe
 that makes a difference as far as the message in the status bar that
 your
 Wi-Fi connection is active.
 

Re: App Support?

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi. I got the same alert not long ago about ooTunes. Though it has not
been updated in several years, I've heard from other people on this
list that the developer is responsive about adding stations and fixing
issues with current stations accessed through the app. I am usually
not one to hang onto an app that hasn't been updated in awhile, but
there are many stations that I listen to with ooTunes, like Clear
Channel or others, that I can get with that one app. Verses having to
download several different apps to do the job of one.

Re: no home button?

[Wayne Merritt]

One difference between the actual Home button on older iPhones and the
Home button on the new iPhone 7: if you turn the iPhone 7/Plus off,
nothing will happen to the Home button when you push it in. This is
different from older phones where even when the phone is off, the
button could be pressed. Of course, nothing would happen to the phone
in that case, but still it is a way to see if your iPhone 7 is off.

I am teaching a student with neuropathy who has an iPhone 5S. He
self-reports that he can feel the home button on my iPhone 7 better
than he can on his 5S.

Interesting. When I swipe down by line in a note I am able to move by
line. When trying to do this, are you in the editing text mode where
you can write, edit and navigate text?

Re: Viphone 7 ignoring lightning connected headsets

[Wayne Merritt]

Larry,
I have experienced this randomly when connecting my lightning earbuds
or my older headphone jack earbuds which were connected to the new
lightning dongle to my phone. The few times it has happened, I
unplugged the earbuds and then plugged them back into the phone and
they worked just fine. It has not happened a lot or often enough to be
a pattern.

Re: Loving Apple tv, have more questions

[Wayne Merritt]

Terri,
If you are using the same Apple ID on the Apple TV that you use with
your iPhone or other iOS device, you can go into the App Store on the
TV and find the purchased section. Here you will find a list of all of
the apps which are TV compatible that you have downloaded to your
other devices. This is an easy way to see a list of what works since
you're looking at apps you already have and may be more comfortable
with. If I have the location of this list wrong I'm sure someone will
correct.

I got an Apple TV in the summer and wondered why I waited so long to
get one as well. I love playing music on it and watching videos and
shows from YouTube and CBS All Access. Note that if you have accounts
from YouTube, Netflix or Hulu, and bring up those apps on the TV and
try to sign in, you will likely be prompted to visit a certain web
page in order to activate the TV on your account. Once you visit the
site, you may be prompted to enter a code. I don't recall if you enter
the code on the iOS device or on the TV. Either way, once you enter
the code and hit submit, you will be able to access your account and
all of the regular features of the app with the TV.

Finally, you can do a voice search with Siri and say, "Search the App
Store for (name of app)." This may help you find apps to download
initially.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: What kind of apps can be put on the new Apple TV?

[Wayne Merritt]

One that you did not mention which is really cool is the WWDC app from
Appple. This is cool because you can watch past Apple events and
presentations given at their World Wide Developer Conference in June
each year. You can also watch live Apple events through this app. I am
not home often when a live event is happening, but I had a chance to
watch the September event live on the TV. That was pretty awesome. I
also have the CBS app and their All Access service. You can also get
YOuTube for watching all sorts of content.

Re: Even more questions re Apple TV4

[Wayne Merritt]

Though you can use the Siri remote that comes with the 4th Gen Apple
TV, the swipe area at the top of that remote is very small. The
gestures you have to use are a lot smaller and shorter than the ones
you use on the iPhone. You may find that you prefer using the Apple TV
remote app on your phone over the smaller Siri remote. There are a few
things that you cannot do with the app on the phone, but most of them
you can do from either remote. Many times I will accidently move my
finger down and go to the next icon when using the Siri remote, when I
wanted to click the remote to open the item I was on first. You will
have to try it and see which you like best. I've gotten used to the
smaller remote and in some ways prefer it, but my sighted wife has
trouble using the Siri remote. She was very happy to get the remote
app on her iPhone to use.

Re: VoiceOver and 3D touch?

[Wayne Merritt]

Press harder and you will hear a pop sound. That is the context menu
which has popped up. If you press too hard, the phone may interpret it
as a double tap and the app will open. That has happened to me a
number of times. It takes practice.

Good luck,

Re: texting issue

[Wayne Merritt]

I don't know how to fix your issue, but something you wrote about
blocking caught my ear. I have blocked lots of numbers but none of
them are in my contacts. For a long time I thought that if I deleted a
number from the recents page, that it would not be blocked anymore. I
then looked in the blocked numbers list and saw about 15 or 20 numbers
that I had blocked, most of which are not on my recent calls page.

Re: what are the advantages of upgrading from 6SPlus to 7Plus?

[Wayne Merritt]

I upgraded from a 6S to a 7, and have noticed some good VoiceOver
improvements and over all phone improvements. I had some random issues
with the 6S where some VoiceOver sounds would not play after a few
days, or other oddities happened. Such that I had to reboot my phone
in order to get things working correctly again. These may be isolated
incidents, but they were sure annoying when they happened. Since I've
had the 7, I haven't had any of those oddities come up. This may not
be a compelling reason to upgrade, but the better inner parts and
processor does make a difference on the 7/7 Plus. Though I may be
paying more per month to pay off myine and my wife's 7 phones, both of
us are glad we did the upgrade. Another thing that may not be a
compelling reason to upgrade but a good update all the same is the
sound on the new phones. With the extra speaker, you get much better
sound with less distortion when the volume is moderately or very high.
Though I often use earbuds at home, I don't really have to anymore.

Jmt,
Wayne

Re: facebook on IOS10 there's a new update

[Wayne Merritt]

I am not having any accessibility issues either. I don't use Facebook
a lot, but it works for what I do use, namely checking notifications,
posting, and reading a few posts. The only annoying problem I have
with Facebook is that it keeps asking me to add my mobile number. No
matter how many times I hit the Not Now button, that only postpones
that prompt until the next time I load the app. Everything's working
fine other than that annoyance.

Re: Music w/o wifi?

[Wayne Merritt]

Depending on how much music you have, if it is in playlists, and how
much phone storage you have, you can download the music over wifi to
your phone. You can probably download the music if it is not in a
playlist, but all my music is in a playlist so I'm not sure on that.
To set your phone to download music that is added to your library or
to add songs to your library which are added to a playlist, go to
settings/music, and turn on the relevant options. It will say
something like download music that is added to your library, and
similar for music that is added to a playlist. Then, if you are
listening to a song that is in your library or playing from one of the
custom playlists or radio stations in Apple Music, you can hit the add
to library button on the now playing screen to add it to your library.
If you do not subscribe to Apple Music, the process of adding through
the now playing screen would likely work the same way. You can also
hit the more button in the lower right corner, and then choose add to
playlist, and then you will get a list of all of the playlists you
have created. When I upgraded to the iPhone 7, I also upgraded my
storage to 128 GB. As a result, anything that I add to my library or
add to a playlist, I have set to automatically download to my phone.
This is good since there are a few places I go at home or work which
have 1 bar of service with my carrier.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Text messaging, getting to the newest message

[Wayne Merritt]

You can also go to the status bar and double tap any item up there,
like the time or battery status. That will take your focus to the top
of the screen or page one of whatever series of pages you are looking
at. this method works on a web page, in an app, or anywhere else.

Re: Notifications still interrupting well leading.

[Wayne Merritt]

If you want to only get notified on the lock screen, you will have to
go to the settings, then notifications, and open each app and turn on
notifications on the lock screen, but turn off appear in notification
center. Wish there was an easier way but unfortunately you will have
to do this for each app that you want to change.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Two finger double tap to start and stop media seems a little flukey in iOS10

I saw this behavior early when using iOS 10. A simple phone reboot
fixed the issue and now the 2 finger double tap or magic tap works as
it should.

Re: Adding iPhone to a contact?

[Wayne Merritt]

Once in the edit screen for the contact, find the number you want to
change to the iPhone contact number. Swipe/flick left to the button
for the type of number and double tap. You will then get a list of
options, including iPhone, mobile, work, various fax choices, and
other things. Double tap the item you want and then you will be taken
back to the edit screen where you can add other information or hit the
done button in the upper right corner.

Good luck,

Re: Problem with Email Since Updating to iOS10

[Wayne Merritt]

I have my Gmail setup with labels and filters through the web view.
However when I lookat my mail on the iPhone, the labels don't appear
along side each message like they do in the web view of Gmail. I can
generally tell which list the message is from by the subject of the
message. And, if I can't, then I will save that message to be read
later on the computer. All the labels are still there with the
messages, but they aren't being read on the iPhone in the Mail app
like they are read in web view of Gmail. Go figure.

Advice for those with the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I know it is a generic subject, but this is a cautionary
tale for those that have the new iPhone 7 or 7 Plus phones. If you
have any hesitation of your phone not working as expected, don't wait
a long time or think that the problem will go away or will fix itself,
before you take your device back to an Apple Store. In my own case, I
accidentally dropped my new 7 in a bathtub with about 4 inches of
water. I pulled the phone out, dried it off, but noticed that the
speaker did not seem as loud. I took my phone to the Apple Store and
had a technician look at it. He did several tests with the speaker and
the microphone, and he did find that a mike was not working as
expected. Then, no questions asked, he swapped my ten day old phone
out with a brand new one of the same color and gig size as my last
one. I took the new one home and was able to restore from my latest
ICloud backup, which happened to be that afternoon. I've heard on the
Macbreak Weekly podcast that the Apple Stores have a certain number of
phones available to swap out in these cases, and they will do the
swapping no questions asked if they can verify the problem. The deal
is you have to take your phone inwithin the first two weeks or so
after you get it. IN my case, the phone was advertised as being water
resistant, and a mike evidently had some water damage after the
phone's swim in the tub. However, if you hear hissing or other strange
noises from your new phone, then it is worth taking a trip to the
Apple Store.

Kind regards,
Wayne

Re: In iOS 10 on the Today screen what does the Siri App Suggestions widget do?

[Wayne Merritt]

It seems like it gives you suggestions based on which apps you use
most frequently. I've turned that widget off since I don't really ever
click on any of the apps it has listed.

Re: saving passwords

[Wayne Merritt]

If you have iCloud Key Chain turned on it should ask you
automatically. You can also get the free 1Password app and enter your
account log in information there. I use both, but I am getting in the
habbit of writing the important passwords down in 1Password.

Re: Siri Instead of Pausing

I saw this initially too. I closed and reopened the app with the same
result. I finally restarted my phone and that seemed to fix the random
issues like this.

Re: bug in latest swarm update

[Wayne Merritt]

I've noticed this as well: I've gotten the fourth tab to say inbox and 
sometimes the second tab says games but the others don't speak at all. Not a 
huge deal since I use Swarm so often and know which is which, but still is an 
issue. They release updates regularly so hopefully this will be fixed 
soon.Using iOS 10.0.1 on the new phone.

Re: using headphones with iPhone 6s since iOS 10 upgrade

[Wayne Merritt]

When I was using iOS 10 on my old 6S, I did see this problem occur
once. I thought it was my earbuds, so I switched them out with another
pair and the same thing happened. Ultimately, when I either restarted
VoiceOver or rebooted my phone, the sound returned to both sides. I
don't recall which I tried or which worked though. It seemed to be a
VoiceOver issue rather than an issue with hearing accessibility.

Jmt,
Wayne

Re: so who got there hands on iPhone7?

[Wayne Merritt]

Remember that this is a new feature for everyone, not just the blind. As future 
updates and iOS releases come out, we will probably see Apple implement haptic 
feedback more. In fact, this may be laying the foundation for something we may 
see next year on the 2017 iPhone or in iOS 11. Time will tell.

Re: Speaker sound quality comparison between the 6+ and the 7

[Wayne Merritt]

As far as feel, the 7 is just like the 6. If you had a Plus model, then that 
will feel the same as well, except for an extra camera on the back of the 
phone. As for sound, it is like listening to a stereo.

Re: youtube freezing the status bar

I can confirm this issue as well. I'm glad others are seeing the same. The

Re: so who got there hands on iPhone7?

[Wayne Merritt]

Hi: I just saw this thread. I got mine last Friday evening and love it! One 
thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the haptic feedback you get when doing 
certain things on the phone, such as adjusting a table index. Each time a new 
letter is announced the whole phone vibrates: This is very cool but will also 
take me awhile to get used to. Another place I found the haptic feedback was in 
the clock. When editing one of my alarm sounds, each system alarm sound had a 
different vibration pattern. I use my phone to wake up to and many times I will 
wake up to the vibrations as well. Now that each system sound has its own 
pattern, I can see those different vibrations will help me wake up. Not a huge 
thing or big reason to upgrade, but this haptic feedback will help the deaf 
blind as well. I can't wait to tell a co-worker about it. Finally, thanks for 
the tip on typing the for sign. in Braille I've been wondering how to make that 
work.

Re: "Heading not found" when it should be in the music app

[Wayne Merritt]

I've seen the same heading navigation issue in the For You tab, where I'm told 
there are no headings after a certain point. But when I flick through the 
different sections, each section starts with a heading. This is on an iPhone 7 
with iOS 10.

Re: Before I get an iPhone 7

[Wayne Merritt]

Larry, my case is for the 6S. I don't yet have the case for the 7. I'm 
interested to see how they do it given the extra speaker. I will likely get it 
though since it really almost doubles the battery life. And no, the screen is 
not covered by the case. It is slightly recessed and there is a noticable 
border around the screen. Even if the phone were to fall face down while in the 
case, it would be fine.

issue with putting your 7 in a battery case for the 6S is something
that I tried. I have the Smart Battery Case from Apple that I got
early this year for my 6S. The sound from the 7 in the case verses out
of the case is vastly different. On the bottom of the 7 where the
headphone jack used to be are what I think are extra speaker grills.
So when the 7 is in the battery case, the top speaker sound comes
through just fine, but the bottom speaker sounds a little muffled.
Whereas, if I play music when the phone is not in the 6S case, the
sound quality is equal to the jam/boom boxes that were around 20 or 30
years ago, in other words excellent. I will be getting the updated
Smart Battery Case for my 7, and I'm sure that it will be able to
redirect the sound from the speakers at the bottom and still work
quite well. Plus, as pointed out earlier in the thread, it will be
able to accommodate the slight change in the camera's size.

Re: Restoring iPhone 7 from iCloud backup

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks Anna. I solved my problem by reseting my phone and erasing all content 
and settings. I didn't have much data on so I figured why not. It worked! I was 
able to setup my phone as if it were a new phone and restore from iCloud. I've 
got all my apps, folders and settings like I had before.

Sincerely,

Wayne Merritt

Restoring iPhone 7 from iCloud backup

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
Last night I got my new iPhone 7! Yay! When setting up the phone I was asked 
what method I wanted to use to restore my information. I chose the most recent 
iCloud backup that I had made. When checking my phone an hour ago though, it 
looked like a brand new phone does. None of my apps and folders that I had on 
the 6S were showing on the new 7. This is the first time something like this 
has happened to me, each time before when I had restored from iCloud, all of my 
stuff came back. What do I need to do to get everything on the 7 like I had it 
on my 6S? Do I need to start over by erasing all data and setting up the 7 all 
over again? Please help!! All of my settings, app purchases, and app positions 
have been erased on the new 7. I really don't want to have to download each app 
all over again and arrange them, but I've got nothing else going on this 
weekend, grin.

Sincerely,
Wayne Merritt

Re: what voices do you all use now as your default go to voice in IOS 10

Hi. I am still using Alex, but I have also selected Tom as a backup. I like Tom

Re: moving apps

I didn't think of the scrub gesture to get out of a folder. When I was
trying this feature out, I used the old stand-by double tap and hold
and moved the app out of the folder that way. It still works.

Navigating podcast list in Downcast on iOS 10

[Wayne Merritt]

All,
I am having an issue when navigating my list of podcasts in Downcast
in iOS 10. I have subscribed to about 19 and right about when I get
halfway through, I am shown a button to show/hide the list of
podcasts. I've double tapped on this several times, and I am not able
to see the whole list of podcasts. It either shows only the first
half. Or, I can swipe through the first half but the last one in the
list is out of order. Has anyone else seen this yet? I hope Downcast
is further updated for iOS 10 soon. In the meantime I have switched to
Overcast, but I much prefer Downcast.

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: Question Concerning the mail App

[Wayne Merritt]

If you like the way it was before, go to setings, mail, and turn off 
conversation view or group by conversation, can't recall what it says exactly 
but something like that.

Re: Mail is driving me crazy!

[Wayne Merritt]

The braille display behavior described is one of the very few bugs in iOS 10. 
If you use your display a lot with mail, you may want to hold off until a fix 
is posted. I use a display but more for reading documents, so this was not a 
big deal for me. Also, when going through the messages in a thread, if VO 
doesn't read everything when flicking down through the messages, I will do a 2 
finger plick down to read from the cursor position forward.

Re: iOS 10 looks really good!

[Wayne Merritt]

Carol,
What you're seeing on the home screen with the "actions available" and
the extra home screen page are new features in iOS 10. Every app on
the home screen has actions now with the rodar, where you can double
tap to activate, or swipe up or down to choose to arrange apps. Also,
the first page of your home screens is where the notification center
and all of your app notifications moved to. So page 2 is actually page
1 of your apps. I had 5 pages in iOS 9 of apps, and now with iOS 10 I
have 6. It gets confusing, but that's what's going on.

By the way, I really like iOS 10 as well. There's so much to explore
in the OS that it's really like having a brand new phone. Add to that
that I will be getting my iPhone 7 at some point from the pre-order,
and then I will get the pleasure of doing all of this familiarization
all over again, but on a truly brand new phone. Good times.

Hth,
Wayne

Re: iPhone 7 4.7-inch or iPhone7 Plus 5.5-inch?

[Wayne Merritt]

It's possible, since the larger phone's speakers may be bigger or
wider apart, but we may not really know until the phones are released
and people get their hands on them. We can speculate all we want, but
the phones aren't out yet so that's all it is. It will be interesting
to see what people's experiences are on YouTube and other sites/places
when they get their phones this Friday.

Re: NFL Game Pass

[Wayne Merritt]

The problem with All Football Radio, or other similar apps, is that
the NFL has been cracking down on stations that stream games over the
web. While you can still listen to games this way, when I used it
about a year ago, it was hit and miss whether a station was
broadcasting the game, their current programming, or if you got a "we
cannot stream the game for you" message. TuneIn is a few dollars
cheaper and lets you access every game through the Super Bowl. Plus,
TuneIn is all audio, not audio and video. I hope they add NBA game
streaming at some point, but they've got the other major sports, along
with college football and basketball, music, podcasts, audio books,
and so forth. A good deal, even if you only pay during football
season.

Jmt,
Wayne

Re: Strange observation about the Sero app

[Wayne Merritt]

The name of the app changed so it is now called sero instead of iBlink
Radio. I believe all the same content is there and you can still log
into SAM Net from with the Sero app.

Re: the new IOS 10 and voices on the iPhone

Just like iOS 10 will be free for all to update to and use, my guess
is that the added voices will also be free.

Re: Searching in the App Store broken?

[Wayne Merritt]

Pure speculation on my part, but they could be ramping their servers
up for the software releases tomorrow. MY wife told me of some issues
she was having seeing recommended items in her Apple Music, along with
issues of songs kipping in Apple Music when she was playing a playlist
through the Apple TV over the weekend. Again, pure speculation, but
all of these things could be tied to the software on Apple's end as
they prepare for the iOS and TVOS releases tomorrow. Another reason
why I'm going to wait a day or two before updating, grin. Been there,
done that, and waited several hours for it to complete.

Re: Editing files in dropbox

I don't recall how much it was, but you might check out Plain Text,
which can save files to Dropbox. Or, perhaps even Microsoft Word if
you want to go all out.

Cheryl: you might try AccessNote from AFB. That app is free and you
can save your files directly to Dropbox. I don't recall offhand if the
saves happen automatically or if you have to tell it to save. Either
way, it might work for what you want.

Re: Belkin's coming out with the adapter some of us need

[Wayne Merritt]

In addition, as has been said before elsewhere, they may be removing
the headphone jack this year so they can really wow everyone with
something special next year. As one podcaster pointed out this week,
this year the main topic of conversation is the headphone jack
disappearing. While next year, everyone or most people will have moved
on from that and will be talking about whatever special item they're
working on for the 10 year iPhone. I don't like it any better than
other people, but at least they're helping to ease the transition by
including an adaptor in the box this year. They could just as easily
charge $20 or $30 for that $9 adaptor, and make us buy it as an
accessory.

Re: Article: 11 things everyone is going to love about Apple's iOS 10

[Wayne Merritt]

Very interesting article. I am wondering if the Bedtime part of the
Clock app can be customized. I have set songs to wake me up on
different days. I appreciate the Bedtime feature, but I hope it can
workw with my songs, or that I can turn it off and go back to the old
Alarm screen. Finding your car in a parking lot sounds really cool
too. Though I don't drive, which is good (hahaha), my wife drives, and
being able to find our car would really come in handy.

I'm not with AT&T, but I have been an AT&T custoemr before, and can
recall many instances on their site where there were accessibility
issues. Good luck in your dialog with them. I hope they fix their
issues.

Re: listening and charging and thoughts on the presentation

[Wayne Merritt]

I've had some random VoiceOver issues happen in the last month or two
with my 6S, such as the issue with not being able to toggle VoiceOver
back on. Or, having the phone sounds come through the earpiece after a
call has ended rather than the speaker. I've also noticed some issues
with the phone's RAM after a few days, like some VoiceOver functions
will not perform as expected, or VO sounds will graddually or suddenly
stop. I can't cite a specific example since they are totally random. I
have been able to resolve these issues, but am hoping that the
increased power and processes on the 7 will fix those things. I
pre-ordered my 7 last night and should get it in a few weeks.

Re: THE FORTHCOMING APPLE EVENT

[Wayne Merritt]

In addition to what's already been mentioned, the Macbreak Weekly show
will be recorded shortly after the Apple Event and then put out as a
podcast later on Wednesday. Though this is not blindness specific, it
does cover Apple very well. The Macbreak Weekly podcast is from the
TWIT network. Look in any of the top podcast related apps/sources.

Re: Looking for news ap that pushes notifications?

[Wayne Merritt]

There is now a Google News app which can probably send notifications
for current breaking stories. The Google News app is the same as the
news.google.com site. You can customize which sections you want to se
and even create sections based on keywords. For example, I have a
section from the keyword, "iPhone 7." I turned off notifications for
Google News since I keepa  tight reign on the apps that can send
notifications, so I don't know how good the alerts are. I do check the
site every so often during the week, sometimes several times a day
depending on my workload and what's going on in the world, and there
are some good story round-ups covered.

Scheduling a recording in TuneIn Radio Pro

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I've got TuneIn Radio Pro and have added the show that I
want to record on a weekly basis to my favorites. How do I go about
scheduling the recording? I looked up the steps of how to do it in the
TuneIn Help Center, but I'm not finding a "schedule recording" item in
the menu/options of the now playing screen. I'm using whatever the
latest TuneIn Pro is with iOS 9.3.5.

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: Thinking of ditching cable what alternatives are there?

[Wayne Merritt]

I've heard some good things about sling TV, which is available for iOS
devices and Apple TV. I haven't heard a lot of reviews about Sling's
accessibility. The idea behind Sling is you pay $20 or $25 monthly for
cable channels, and can add on different packages for about $5 each,
such as family, sports, movies, and so forth. I believe the website is
at:
www.sling.com
I recall hearing a review on Sling from Main Menu, the weekly tech
show on ACB Radio. I think that show was in June but not sure. There
are also apps from the broadcast networks, like the CBS app that I
wrote about earlier in another message thread. I would not fully
commit to these without looking into what shows they have, since they
may not have all of the shows that you want to watch. I like the
network app model though since I'm not committing to a TV package of
50 channels, when I may only watch 5. Also, by going through a network
app, I am not tied down to a specific channel for content. In other
words, the network app already has the shows, current and classic,
that I may want to wwatch.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: calendar

[Wayne Merritt]

Ari and all,
I believe to turn off notifications from the native Calendar, go into
Settings, Mail/Contacts/Calendars, and look under default alert times.
Make sure it is set to none. You can bring up the Fantastical 2
settings by going to the app and finding the settings button in the
upper center or left of the screen, can't recall which, and then look
under default alert times for events. I have mine set to 10 minutes.
Rarely do I change it,. This makes scheduling a new appointment very
easy, since I put in the title, location, and start/end times.

Hth,
Wayne

Re: Please, I need suggestion about Apple headphones.

[Wayne Merritt]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but you can also get all of
the Apple accessories, like earbus and extra lightning cables, through
the Apple Store app, and pay for them with Apple Pay. If you can't get
to your carrier's store or an Apple Store, this is another option.

Re: multtiple topics: apple tv, netflicks, hulu, etc.

[Wayne Merritt]

The one thing that Apple TV has over the other cheaper options, like
Amazon Fire, Roku, or even ChromeCast, is that every part of the Apple
TV is accessible. I haven't used any of the others so may not be
totally informed on this. All I know is that with VoiceOver on the
Apple TV, I can access any part of the TV's operating system.

It seems like everyone uses their Apple TV differently. MY wife and I
use it for watching YouTube videos, listening to playlists through
Apple Music, or using the AirPlay feature on our iPhones or iPad Mini
to stream content through our devices and have it broadcast on the
Apple TV. We have thought about some of the movie/TV show apps and are
going to get a subscription to the CBS app on the Apple TV. The iPhone
version of this app is not very accessible, but the Apple TV version
looks to be much better. The CBS app lets you watch current and past
shows that either aired on CBS or that were released on home media
through CBS. We both are excited about this since CBS has a lot of
shows that we would want to watch, like "Cheers," "Family Ties," "The
Brady Bunch," and our favorite current show, "Survivor." Though you
can watch current shows through the network apps, like the CBS app,
for free, you usually have to wait about 7 or 8 days before being able
to do so. Whereas, if you subscribe through the network app, you can
watch it the next day. Some network apps even let you watch things
live through their app, or past or current sporting events. The
subscription for the CBS app is $7 monthly, after the free 7 day
trial.

Another thing that you will find is that no one app has all of the
shows/movies you may want to watch. Yes, Netflix has a lot, but they
don't have everything, jus tlike Hulu or other apps don't have
everything. Also, those apps are adding and removing content all the
time, so their selection is constantly changing.

Thanks all for the feedback. Sounds like TuneIn Radio Pro is the best
option. Fortunately, when I first got TuneIn in 2011 or 2012, I bought
the Pro version.

Re: update on my sound problem

[Wayne Merritt]

I have my phone set to this specific VoiceOver setting, and have found
that it too can be inconsistent at times. Another option to allow
notifications but not be alerted by them is to mute the sounds from
the phone, and also do a 3 finger double tap on the screen. This will
mute speech. This way, you still get notifications but they aren't
spoken and no sound comes through. I use this a lot when taking a nap
or in a movie. I still get all my notices but only have to worry about
the vibrations coming through. This would be an option if you did not
want to turn Do Not Disturb on but you wanted to not be alerted by
voice or sound when getting a notification. Perhaps there is no one
perfect solution in this situation.

Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

[Wayne Merritt]

Bryan and all,
Regarding the phone's battery, if you have jus the phone itself
without any extra battery cases, then the 6S Plus battery would last
longer. However, if you were to invest in a MofiJuice Pack (probably
misspelled but you know what I mean), or an Apple Smart Battery Case
for the 6S, then your battery life for the 6S will almost be that of
the 6S Plus. Once when I was not able to charge my 6S with the Smart
Battery case over night, the phone and extra case battery lasted me
about 30 hours before I got down to 30 percent or less. This of course
depends on what you do and what apps are open.

 want the hassle of syncing two new phones in rather quick succession, so
 I am trying to figure out whether to just get the SE (I like the smaller

 do not care about, and unless there are any amazing features or
 improvements, I figure I may as well wait for the ten-year anniversary
 for Apple to wow me.

 In short: 1. Take my daughter’s old 5C for a few weeks; or
 2. Use my upgrade, get the SE, and wait for next year because the 7
 isn’t worth wasting my upgrade or extra money.

Re: Need opinions about waiting for iPhone 7 or getting SE

[Wayne Merritt]

I've read rumors that there will be a 32 GB option of the iPhone 7. We
will see in a few weeks when we know more, but that was one of many
rumors of the new iPhone. I hope they do though, since 16 GB is
extremely small. Good for those on a budget, but not much else.

App to schedule and record a radio show

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am looking for an app to schedule and record a radio show
on a weekly basis. There is a show that I like to listen to overnight
but it is broadcast from midnight to 4am my time Friday mornings. Is
there an app I can schedule a weekly recording of this show? I have
TuneIn Radio and ooTunes but I don't know if either would do this or
how to set it up. I've tried to look for podcasts of the show but
can't find them. I'm probably not using the right keywords. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Wayne

Re: nfb RESOLUTION [WAS "Re: Let's Play "King of the Mountain""]

[Wayne Merritt]

After reading a few messages on this thread, I submit the following:
To those that say that the NFB hasn't spoken against other major tech
companies, like Microsoft, Google and Amazon: if you look back at the
NFB resolutions since 2009, you will find around 20 passed that were
directed either in praise or disappointment with accessibility
products from Microsoft, Google and Amazon. Anyone recall all of the
almost yearly resolutions and protests that the nFB made against
Amazon over the Kindle line? Yes, that Kindle that many of you have on
your desk and your enjoyment of its services, you can thank the NFB
for access to that Kindle. The NFB has spoken up over other access
issues, like the many Google apps, Microsoft services, and access
issues from other companies like the Nook from Barnes & Noble. And how
many resolutions were passed against Apple? Counting this year's: 4.
Think what you will, but this has nothing to do with money. If it were
about money, then the NFB would not have brought resolutions/lawsuits
against Target, Google, or Microsoft, among others.

Wayne

Re: Vibrating clock app on iOS

[Wayne Merritt]

Thanks Gordon. I looked for both apps you mentioned, and Cqoo Clock
was not found in the search, but I will download VoiceOver Clock at
home since it is so big, over 100 megs. I've heard of the Time Buzz
app for the Apple Watch, but unfortunately I can't justify an Apple
Watch just yet. It needs to do more useful things for me, and drop a
little in price, for me to get one. I'm still watching it's
development. Looks like Apple's doing interesting things with the
medical tracking and benefits.

Re: iBooks

[Wayne Merritt]

This way doesn't work. I can go to the book listings in the list view
in my library, but there is no action rodar item for each book. There
is also no edit button anywhere on the screen that I could find. I
would like to know this too since there are a few books that I would
like to get rid of.

Vibrating clock app on iOS

[Wayne Merritt]

Greetings. I am looking for an app that will vibrate the time instead
of or in addition to speak it. I would like to be able to request the
time and have it communicated in vibrations. I'm not sure how this
would work, but I recall hearing of an accessible app like this some
time ago. If I do a search in the app store, many dozens of results
come up and I'm not sure which one would do what I want.

Re: calendar

[Wayne Merritt]

I like that there are additional alert options for events in
Fantastical, such as 10 or  45 minutes before, or even 12 hours, or
several days. If you need more than 2 or 3 days, you can choose custom
and pick a date using several picker controls. For instance, several
medical appointments have snuck up on me in the last few weeks. As a
result, I have started setting an alert for the next appointment a
week ahead of time. Also, the 12 hour alert is good for when I have a
blood work appointment where I need to fast. Then I get the alert the
night before which helps a lot. I have had some issues with
Fantastical not keeping some appointments in a recurring series, but
not enough for me to ditch the app and look elsewhere. I plan my life
around my Fantastical calendar. I also love that calendar events and
reminders are in the same app.

Re: question about the alarm clock

[Wayne Merritt]

You can press a button on screen or use the power/lock button or
either volume button to turn the alarm off. If you have turned on
snooze for the alarm, you will either have to go into the alarm tab of
the clock app or use Siri to turn off your alarm. Remember to turn it
back on again so that it happens the next day or time it is set.

Good luck,
Wayne

Re: Question regarding CBS all access, and their content

[Wayne Merritt]

Hello. Taking your questions in reverse order: I think the Apple TV
app for CBS is more accessible to me than the iPhone app. I haven't
looked at it a lot, but I do recall being able to move around a lot
easier on the Apple TV than I did on the iPhone. Not sure why that is,
but I have heard that about other apps, where the TV version is more
usable/accessible than the iOS version. Regarding why some
seasons/shows have more episodes, no clue. Perhaps the shows you are
looking at are for seasons which are currently being shown on TV or
have recently been shown. When looking at the list of shows,
especially those that are classics, I was very impressed by the
variety of shows listed. CBS has the most shows that I would want to
watch, and even a few that may not have been originally broadcast on
CBS when they originally aired, like "Family Ties," and "Cheers."

Re: Apps for keeping up with sports scores

[Wayne Merritt]

I found it and subscribed in Downcast, and you can probably also find
it in iTunes.
