RE: Siri and home button
Deidre, To change what can be accessed when your iPhone is locked, go to Settings, Touch ID and Passcode, place the rotor on headings and swipe to the Allow access when locked heading where you'll find things like the Notification center, Control center, Siri and others which you'll want to turn on for access when your iPhone is locked.

RE: RE: the new iPhone SE 2020
Hi Kitty, The main difference between the old regular mechanical home button and the electronic haptic one is you could get touch feedback on the mechanical one as you pressed it and could feel its actual movement. Be aware that the haptic electronic button does nothing when your device isn't powered on. You do get some feedback with the haptic button when the device is powered and you can control this feedback somewhat in its settings. You will appreciate the difference best after you experience it.

RE: the poop from Apple about the new SE sim card
Mike, I think whether an SE 2020 can be ordered with a carrier SIM card from the Apple Store might be a function of the type of plan you have with your carrier. I have ordered from the Apple Store in the past while I had a Verizon postpaid plan and received my new iPhone with a Verizon SIM card already installed. However, I switched to a Verizon prepaid plan in late February and when I tried ordering my SE 2020 last Saturday using the Apple Store app, I received an error message when I attempted to complete the order when the app went to Verizon to verify my account info. I was unable to complete the Apple Store order unless I selected no carrier as my choice which included no SIM card. I'll simply move my Verizon SIM card from my iPhone 8 to my SE 2020 after I get it set up and ready to make calls. As I understand it, this will also avoid any new device activation charge from Verizon which they tried to charge me when I went from my iPhone 7 to my iPhone 8.

RE: V iPhone and Mac Visionaries List Members: Let's Talk Via Zoom, on Sunday, April 26, 2020
I agree with Duane that having the Zoom meeting ID more than 15 minutes before the meeting starts encourages a greater attendance. It is also much easier to schedule attendance with all the necessary info so that email doesn't have to be checked constantly just before the meeting starts.

RE: New SE iPhone Keyboard
Mike, I know you've probably already tried everything related to your issue but I thought the Apple Support article I'm pasting after my signature had some good comments about iOS and keyboards. It came from this website: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202178 Alan Lemly About the keyboards settings on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch Learn how to use the built-in keyboards on your device in every app. You can switch between keyboards, select one-handed typing, use third-party keyboards, and more. Change your keyboard settings You can change the settings of the built-in keyboard on your device or add languages. This also changes the dictionary used for auto-correction, the number of letters on the keyboard, and the arrangement of the keys. The language of the keyboard also determines the language of the dictionary used for predictive text. To adjust your keyboard settings: Open an app that uses the keyboard, like Messages or Mail. Touch and hold or . Tap Keyboard Settings. Then customize your settings. Add or delete a third-party keyboard app You can install third-party keyboard apps just like you install other apps on your device. After you install a new keyboard, you need to add it before you can use it. Follow these steps: Go to the App Store and find the keyboard app that you want. Tap Get, then follow the prompts to install. Enter your Apple ID password, or use Face ID or Touch ID if it's available on your device. Then add the new keyboard. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add a New Keyboard and select the app that you installed. You might need to set the keyboard to allow full access in order to use it. To delete a third-party keyboard: Go to Settings > General, tap Keyboard, then tap Keyboards. Tap Edit. Tap , then tap Done. You can also delete a keyboard by deleting the companion app that you installed from the App Store. This also removes the keyboard from Settings. Switch to another keyboard While you're using an app, you can switch to a different keyboard, like a third-party keyboard or a language keyboard. Follow these steps: Touch and hold or . Select the keyboard you want to use. To arrange the order of your keyboards: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard and tap Keyboards. Tap Edit. Touch and hold three horizontal lines to move the keyboard. Tap Done. Sometimes, third-party keyboards aren't available for one of these reasons: If the developer of the app you’re using doesn’t allow third-party keyboards. If you type in a secure text field, like a password entry that shows typed characters as dots instead of letters and numbers. If you use a number pad instead of a standard keyboard. Instead, you’ll see the default keyboard until you finish typing. Turn on one-handed typing Use one-handed typing on your iPhone to make it easier to type with one hand. Here's how: Touch and hold or . Tap keyboard icon to move the keyboard to the left. Tap keyboard icon to move the keyboard to the right. When you're done, touch and hold or . Then tap keyboard icon to bring your keyboard back to its usual setting. You can also turn on one-handed typing from Settings > General > Keyboards and tap One Handed Keyboard. You need an iPhone 6 or later to use the one-handed keyboard. This feature excludes iPhone SE and iPod touch. If you have an iPhone 6 or later, the one-handed keyboard doesn't work if you have your display set to Zoomed instead of Standard. If you have an iPhone 6 Plus or later, the one-handed keyboard will work if your display is set to Zoomed or Standard. To adjust your display settings, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom. Change the layout of your physical keyboard You can choose between multiple keyboard layouts to match the keys on your physical keyboard. You can also use an alternative keyboard layout that doesn't match the keys on your physical keyboard. Before you can change your physical keyboard, you need to pair it with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Follow the instructions that came with your keyboard to place it in discovery or pair mode.

While ordering an iPhone for a family member the Xfinity person mentioned to me that I might want to turn off Wifi Assist. Here is what I learned. In the setting under cellular is a wifi assist option. When on the phone will select the strongest signal wifi or cell. This means if you have a data plan your phone will use data even when wifi is available if the cell signal is stronger. In my case my phone would change to Cell and stay there for extended times.

If you have unlimited data all good and use the option but, I�m on a shared data plan and I was the data hog without meaning to be. I hope this tip is helpful to others.

RE: Some important queries re setting up a new IPhone SE from scratch - all help appreciated
Richard, Maybe you could summarize your experience after you get your SE 2020 up and working. When it comes to SIM removal, extra care is the order of the day whether using a push pin, a unfolded paper clip, or a SIM removal tool. They all have pretty sharp points and the key is to ensure that point gets in the SIM tray hole with utmost care in order to avoid scratching the device. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Thursday, April 23, 2020 11:43 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Some important queries re setting up a new IPhone SE from scratch - all help appreciated As far as I know, your instructions Alan are correct. A couple points though, I would never use something with a sharp point to remove the tray. Just in case. Call me paranoid, but if you slip and push too hard, you could do damage. A standard small paper clip end works great if the sim removal tool is not in the box. Yes, triple tapping the home button when you power it on will start VoiceOver. The one risk in setting up from a backup is that if there are any lingering problems, they will be inherited. I'm debating whether to set it up as a new device, then sync with my computer. The advantage to using an encrypted backup is that more settings like passwords are supposed to be included along with email account details. I may even just call Apple Accessibility and have them help walk me through it. Though I'm just stubborn enough to go ahead on my own. But, I would set it up via wifi first, then put in the sim I think. I'll be calling my carrier to double check.

RE: Some important queries re setting up a new IPhone SE from scratch - all help appreciated
Eleanor, I'll be going through the same steps since I just ordered a new SE 2020 and will be transferring the SIM card from my iPhone 8 to my new SE. I've never transferred a SIM before but I'll do my best to answer some of your questions. My understanding is that when you power on your new iPhone, you should be able to press the home button three times to activate Voiceover. But see below for other steps you need to do before this. I would strongly recommend that you backup your iPhone 8 before doing anything else with your new iPhone. Whether it's better to do this over the air or to a local computer has changed over the past few years in my opinion. In the past, more things were backed up to a local encrypted iTunes backup than to iCloud but I'm not sure that is still the case. Since your Mac is not available, you should definitely do an iCloud backup before setting up your new SE. To do so: 1. From your iPhone 8, open Settings, and at the top of the list, double tap on your name, Apple ID, iCloud, iTunes and App Store. 2. Swipe to iCloud and double tap. 3. Under the heading Apps using iCloud, swipe to iCloud backup and double tap. 4. Make sure iCloud backup is turned on which will be the first in the list on the screen that opens. Swipe again to the Backup now button and double tap to initiate a current iCloud backup. Give the process a few minutes to complete and you will be given the current time of the latest backup when it's done. I will be following the above steps as well but will also do an encrypted iTunes backup on my Windows 7 computer because I really don't believe you can have too many backups. I've never transferred a SIM card myself because my previous new iPhones came with SIM cards. However, since I've switched to a Verizon prepaid plan recently, my SE 2020 will not have a SIM card. In portrait mode with your iPhone 8's power button near the top right edge, the SIM release hole will be in the very middle of that right edge below the power button. You will need a SIM card removal tool or a push pin or an unfolded paper clip to have something to insert slowly into the SIM removal hole in order to release its tray. I personally think a push pin like I used to use on a cork bulletin board works the best because it is easier to hold onto and apply any needed pressure. If you have such a thing, I would recommend doing the SIM removal over a tray with raised edges to provide something to catch the SIM to be removed should it decide to leap out. This is really all the practical advice I can give since I've never replaced a SIM myself. My understanding is that they only go in one way and I believe one of their corners may be notched to provide for this one way only insertion but I expect others will be able to offer much more detailed advice. Since I only set up new iPhones every couple of years, I don't remember exactly what Voiceover will say when setting up your new SE but I believe it offers you the choice of setting it up as a new device or from restoring a backup. I always restore from a backup. Also, I'm not sure when the best time is for you to transfer your SIM from your iPhone 8 to your new SE. My cautionary side tells me to do this after the new phone is set up so you'll have a device that works until you're ready to make the new one a workable cell phone. I would think all your apps and settings should download from the cloud just fine and the new SE would work like a WiFi only device until you transfer the SIM to it but others more experienced than I will have to comment on this. I hope the above will be somewhat helpful. Finally, my apologies to you, the list, and the Turtles but I just have to close by saying Eleanor, gee I think you're swell. I'm a fan of 60's music.

Firstly, I know this sounds somewhat daft, but if anyone could e-mail me some idiot-proof instructions on how to set it up from scratch, including on how to get Voiceover started from the word go I�d be really grateful please?. I�m far more nervous about doing it than normal, probably because I know all the shops are closed, and sighted friends who would normally be able to assist me can�t do so at the moment due to the lockdown. So any step-by-step guide much appreciated.

I don't have any bitter feelings for anyone, not even Charlie, jeff, don and florence. joining the school list isn't best for me neither. I only know of Florence and Don from the list. Charlie and jeff I know from upper school and I also know Jeff during the time he was in lower school. Jeff I knew as a really fine individual, and to me that hasn't changed. What I know of Charlie was that he was very opiniated and straight forward which is no fault in a personality, and you've got to appreciate some amount of straight forwardness to know exactly what someone thinks. I didn't know Charlie quite as well as I knew jeff, but never thought poorly of Charlie. This might sound like small beans of sort, and trivial, though it's happened more than once, that Charlie would have some sort of sarcastic, somewhat making a joke of messages written to the list. It didn't just happen with some messages I wrote, it happened with messages from some other nyi friends on the list. So I'm not the only person that noticed his comments and don't like it no better than I do, though some of them are still on the list.

I've had my full of these wisecracking comments to me, and some others, and it means even more when it happens to you, it's real to you. So the pattern is when he had his wisecracking, so clever comment to something I wrote, Charlie making his comment was the big brother, the gang leader of sorts. Then Jeff would come along with his message saying he agreed with Charlie, and one or 2 times Don who I don't know in person make some stupid comment. This happened with Charlie and jeff way to many times for me with charlie's wisecracking message and Jeff following that he agrees. It truly is fine if neither one of them think well of me, or even anyone else on the list, but the list isn't the place for this kind of communication to make it plain that 1 or 2 individuals don't think well of some others on the list.

RE: the poop from Apple about the new SE sim card
Richard, I don't pretend to understand the ins and outs of SIM cards but I thought their primary purpose was to hold your carrier account info and settings. I wouldn't think that would have much effect on the speed of your device but if you replace your original SE's SIM card in your second generation SE, maybe you could report back if you notice a difference between the two SIMs. Alan Lemly From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2020 4:56 AM To: ViPone list Subject: the poop from Apple about the new SE sim card Technically, the SE first generation and second generation take the same size SIM card. However, the new SIM cards are much faster, so Apple recommends getting a new SIM card with the new phone. I was told by an Apple staff person that I could set up the new phone with the old SE SIM, but should then get a new SIM card as the performance will be much better. And, the new SE is a Dual SIM phone; as in one physical SIM and one eSIM just like the 11 and xs/xr phones if your carrier supports the eSIM.

Apple's iPhone Payment Plan versus Apple upgrade program
The below article provides a good explanation of financing a new iPhone purchased directly from Apple at 0% interest rate. I've purchased a couple of iPhones financed by Apple's partner bank Citizens One and had no problem doing so. The article came from this website and is pasted following my signature: https://www.imore.com/iphone-payments-faq Alan Lemly Apple's iPhone Payments financing option: Everything you need to know! Get a zero-percent interest loan directly from Apple with the iPhone Payments plan. Lory Gil 15 Apr 2020 Apple iPhone SE (2020) Source: Apple There are now three different ways to finance an iPhone through Apple. The first is the iPhone Upgrade Program, which the iPhone SE (2020) is not eligible for. The second is using your Apple Card to make monthly payments (a zero-percent interest loan), which is exclusive to those that have an Apple Card. The third is the iPhone Payments plan, which is a zero-percent interest loan from Apple that makes it possible for you to buy a new iPhone without having to pay the full price upfront. The iPhone Payments plan is different from the iPhone Upgrade program in one major way: you're not trading in your iPhone to upgrade next year. Here's everything you need to know! How is Apple iPhone Payments different from the iPhone Upgrade Program? On the surface, it may seem like the iPhone Upgrade Program and the iPhone Payments plan are the same, but they're not. They are entirely different finance programs with different features and restrictions. Best online learning tools for kids: ABCmouse, Reading IQ, & more The iPhone Upgrade program allows you to begin a sort-of leasing program with Apple, wherein you can trade in your current iPhone and upgrade to a new one in as early as six months with fees, or one year without additional fees. If, after two years, you want to upgrade, you can, but you don't have to trade in the iPhone you've been using on the iUP, it's yours to keep. With the iPhone Payments plan, you're simply taking out a two-year loan on an iPhone with a carrier plan, but the loan is done through Apple's financial collaborator, Citizens One. You won't be able to trade it in for an upgrade after one year. You have to pay the full loan (though you could pay the loan off early if you wanted to). On the iPhone Upgrade Program, AppleCare+ is folded into the cost, so your monthly payments are slightly higher, though you're not paying any fees. It's just the cost of an iPhone with AppleCare+ divided by 24 months. On the iPhone Payments plan, you don't have to buy AppleCare+. In fact, if you want it, you have to purchase it separately, which you can do on installments now. If you just want an iPhone, and don't need AppleCare+ and don't plan to upgrade every year, or even have a plan for future iPhone upgrading, the iPhone Payments plan will work for you. One final note: the iPhone SE (2020) is not eligible for the iPhone Upgrade Program, so if that's the phone you're buying, the iPhone Payments Plan is what you want. So I can't upgrade every year on the iPhone Payments plan? Correct. The iPhone Payments plan is a loan financing program that lets you make monthly payments across 24 months on an iPhone. Even if you get rid of the iPhone a year or the day after you've made your final payment, you must pay the full amount (though you can pay the loan off early). Do I have to get AppleCare+ with it? Nope! One complaint I heard from some people interested in the iPhone Upgrade Program is that they're forced to have AppleCare+, but with the iPhone Payments plan, you don't have to. In fact, if you want it, you have to purchase it separately from your loan. You can, however, make monthly payments for AppleCare+ now. What is the interest rate? Zero percent financing, my friend. That's right. You won't pay more than the actual cost of the iPhone plus taxes (through Apple), as if you were paying for it with cash upfront. Can I use my Apple Card as a payment option? You sure can. Once you're approved for the loan, you can use your Apple Card as your monthly payment option, which gives you that sweet 3% cashback reward every time you make a payment. Will there be a hard credit pull? Apple' states that "a credit check is required," but doesn't give a lot of detail as to whether it's a soft or hard pull on your credit report. If it's anything like the iPhone Upgrade Program, however, it'll be a soft pull until Citizens One determines it needs a deeper credit check. A note about credit freezes If you've put a credit freeze on your credit report, there are a few things you should know about applying for your iPhone Payments loan. A credit freeze is a way for you to restrict access to your credit report to prote

RE: Kroger app inaccessibility issue corrected. Please diligently report inaccessibility.
Amy, I think my issues with the Kroger coupons has more to do with my lack of practice with them than anything else. I just now executed the Coupons button on the app's bottomline toolbar and perused their new ones and did not note any issues navigating them. They now use a Clip button if you wish to apply a coupon to your account and it seems clearly labeled and accessible. Good luck getting the groceries you need at the best possible price.

Kroger app inaccessibility issue corrected. Please diligently report inaccessibility.
Hi List, Yesterday I posted about an inaccessibility issue with the Kroger app where a button needed to specify details about an app-generated order was inaccessible with Voiceover turned on. I found the Kroger Support Twitter handle and posted a message to it about this issue. I'm happy to say that Kroger released an update today that included a fix for this issue. I have no clue whether this item was already in the works or not but I urge everyone to report inaccessibility issues whenever you come across them.

RE: Help needed composing a new tweet to @KrogerSupport
Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply. I don't use MBraille but I spoke with my sighted son who tweets from time to time and got enough of a Twitter overview to successfully post my tweet to Kroger Support. I'll summarize my experience below for the unfortunate who think as I do when trying to tweet. My first mistake was thinking that a tweet is addressed to a particular addressee like an email is. While this is true with Twitter direct messaging, with Twitter in general, you are really just posting to a giant electronic bulletin board and those that follow you are notified of your tweets for review if desired. You can search particular folks on Twitter and when you get their Twitter handles or user IDs which begin with the @ sign, you can tweet something on their page for their attention. Also, my son told me that when you execute the Compose tweet button in the bottom right corner of the Twitter home screen, you will be placed in a text box containing the dimmed words what's happening. If you know the Twitter handle of who you wish to tweet, you can type it here followed by a space and the words you wish to tweet. So, in my case, I typed @KrogerSupport followed by my message explaining the inaccessibility issue with the Kroger app. I believe you a limited to 285 characters per tweet and I did not find that info readily available since I was typing using the FlickType keyboard but I kept my tweet as short as possible and ended up with 2 characters to spare. I hope the above might help someone attempting to tweet and thanks again for your reply.

I don’t think you would want to try dictating that long of a message with Siri. Do you by chance use MBraille? You could write your message and at the bottom write .tweet then the address to whom you are sending it and swipe down for a hard return which will open twitter and have your message ready to send.

RE: How does your Voiceover pronounce yesterday after the iOS 13.4 upgrade?
Actually, I'm the person who started the thread and I have an iPhone 8. I thought it was an iOS 13.4 issue since I noticed it after upgrading to 13.4 but apparently others who have not yet upgraded are also noticing it. I've reported it to Apple Accessibility and will not comment further on the issue since I realize it's minuscule in the scheme of things. However, I personally don't want Voiceover to start mispronouncing words it previously pronounced correctly which seems to be happening with more frequency.

RE: the audible app for iPhone, in the UK
Dave, Try signing out of your Audible account with the app and then signing back in. Hopefully, when you open a title you wish to add to your library, a button labeled Add to library 1 credit will now be available. Audible is bad about fixing an issue but not making it stick after you update the app again. I signed out of my US Audible account a couple of months ago to address this issue of not being able to purchase a new title with a credit due to the needed button not being available. When I signed out of my account and then signed back in, lo and behold the needed button was there. I've updated my Audible app a couple of times since then and when I drilled down on a new title just now, the button to purchase with a credit was gone again and all I had was a button to add it to my Wish list. Signing out and in again corrected the problem for me so hopefully it will for you too in the UK. They don't make signing out very easy in my opinion. Here are the steps I followed to do so: 1. From the Audible Home screen which can be reached by executing the leftmost button on the bottomline menu double tap the Profile button in the upper left corner. 2. Execute the Settings button in the upper right corner of the profile screen which opens. 3. At the very bottom in the middle of the bottom line is a sign out button which you should execute. 4. When you sign back in and open a new title, hopefully the Add to library with a credit button will now be available. Let us know if this works for you in the UK.

RE: Question About Transferring From One iPhone Carrier to Another
I wouldn't recommend buying a new iPhone from a computer store you do business with. I'd recommend buying directly from Apple using the Apple Store app or going to an Apple Store. You can sign up to get the Apple Card which results in a 3% discount on the iPhone and it is unlocked and you can pay interest free over 24 months. They also let you trade in an existing iPhone. I'd also caution against believing everything you read on this list because a lot of misinformation is posted.

RE: Question About Transferring From One iPhone Carrier to Another
Shirley, Sometimes you can get a good deal including the payoff of equipment when you switch carriers and play one against the other. Ultimately, the main concern is getting the best service possible for the lowest price. As others have said, different carriers seem to excel in different parts of the country so just make sure that if you switch, you've spoken to folks in your area who are happy with the service they've gotten from that carrier. Finally, it's worth calling Verizon and saying your thinking about switching because their cost is more than you want to pay and make absolutely sure they quote you the best possible price.

I was thinking if a person switched carriers and they still owed for a piece of equipment, sometimes the new carrier will buy them out so they don't have to finish paying off that equipment. Isn't that right? I have the family plan with Verizon now. If I didn't have Nathan on my plan, it probably wouldn't cost me as much. That auto plan sounds like that might be the way to go. We're thinking about getting the new phones by trading our old ones in and paying the rest off in cash so we won't have so much to pay. Before we didn't have the money to pay the rest so we had to do it on a month to month basis.

RE: Question About Transferring From One iPhone Carrier to Another
Postpaid plans are required when financing a phone through your carrier and I believe are paid for the previous month's usage. Prepaid plans can't be used to finance a phone purchase and are paid for the following month's usage. Other than those main differences, the cell coverage should be the same under either plan. Autopay is when you sign up to pay your monthly bill automatically by providing a credit card rather than going in each month and paying manually. It saves you an additional $5 a month whether you have a postpaid or prepaid plan. Being able to get 6GB of data plus unlimited calls and texts for about $38 after tax was a no-brainer for me especially since I've been very happy with Verizon.

RE: Question About Transferring From One iPhone Carrier to Another
Shirley, I'd strongly suggest you talk to someone at Verizon at 888-294-6804 to see if you're getting the best plan at the best price before switching to another carrier. I have no idea what you've been getting for $245 a month but I'm assuming that doesn't include any phone purchase obligations or I expect you'd be unable to switch carriers. I was recently paying $51 a month after tax and fees for a postpaid plan with 1GB of data with Verizon. I did not have autopay set up for that plan. When I asked about a Verizon prepaid plan a week ago this past Saturday, I was told they currently had a promotion to double your data for a new account. I had to go in and set up a new Verizon online account with a different user ID but you'll have to do that anyway if you change carriers. I ended up with a 6GB of data prepaid plan for $43 a month after tax and I also selected autopay to charge my monthly amount to my credit card which saves me an extra $5 a month. I'd see if you can get a better deal before changing carriers.

RE: Flicktype
Joe, I approach entering capital letters differently depending on whether I know the proper name being entered is in my FlickType dictionary or not. For example, my last name Lemly is in my dictionary but if I type it while in the FlickType full screen keyboard, lemly is entered not capitalized. So, before tapping my last name letters, I'll do a two finger tap on the screen to set capital letters and then tap near the l e m l y and swipe once and Lemly will be capitalized. When I'm entering a proper name that I'm confident isn't in my dictionary, I place my finger near where I believe the first letter to be located but if I land on an incorrect letter, I slide my finger without lifting it until the correct first letter is spoken and then I gently apply pressure to the screen which will speak cap followed by that letter before lifting my finger to move to the next key in the name manually. This works great for me to capitalize letters entered manually so you might try practicing this method. I hope this helps but write back with other questions.

I understand you do a two finger tap to make the next letter a capital one, but the recognition seems to falter, especially around people's names, to the point that it makes more sense for me to manually enter the letters. FlickType is great for what it does, but typing manually in the app feels slippery to me on account of how quickly the app is trying to speed you along. It's a beautiful problem to have, mind you, but I would like to get as proficient at it as you seem to be.

RE: Bookshare on the iPhone?
Rebecca, I have to agree with Richard and Joshua, Voice Dream Reader is the best app for reading Bookshare books and other documents/files on your iPhone. It is well worth the $15 price and is well supported on this and the voicedreamprodu...@groups.io list. It reads Bookshare books, mp3 and other audio books, and various file formats including docx and pdf provided the underlying book or file does not contain digital rights management protection.

RE: Flicktype
Joe, I'll do my best to answer your first question about FlickType punctuation. You should know that I use FlickType in full screen mode when typing with it and then revert to the iOS standard keyboard. If I'm typing a phrase that ends with a comma as I did just now, I'd swipe once to put a period after the word now and then single finger swipe down to select comma from the choices presented by FlickType. After FlickType says comma, you then just continue typing. As I stated, I use FlickType in full screen mode so when I'm composing a text, I start out with the standard iOS on screen keyboard and go first to the message text box and select FlickType from the keyboard button to the left of the spacebar. I then compose my text message using FlickType's full screen mode and when I'm done, I single finger slide up the screen and stop to change back to the standard iOS keyboard where the text I typed with FlickType is placed in the message text box. I then single finger swipe right once and land on the send button. I'm not sure how my method differs but perhaps you've got FlickType set to other than full screen mode. I prefer leaving my iPhone set to the standard iOS on screen keyboard and moving to FlickType full screen when I need to type something. As to your final question, I leave my keyboard set to the standard iOS on screen keyboard and use the button to the left of the spacebar to switch to FlickType as needed. I then use the single finger slide up and hold to revert back to the standard iOS keyboard. I don't know whether this method is more cohesive but it works for me.

RE: What's the difference between the Microsoft Office app and the previous separate apps comprising it?
Simon, As I said in my original message, the app I searched for in the App Store was Microsoft Office which came up at the top of the results list with a re-download button next to it. Since I already have the separate Word, Excel, and Powerpoint apps installed on my iPhone, I'm wondering what difference there is between those separate apps and this apparently combined one. I don't have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription nor do I intend to get one. Office 2010 Professional works just fine on my computer and I'm not interested in getting on the Microsoft subscription train.

Re: What's the difference between the Microsoft Office app and the previous separate apps comprising it?
Christopher, You're exactly right. I already have the Word, Excel, and Powerpoint separate apps on my iPhone and was wondering what might happen if I executed that re-download button next to the Microsoft Office app listing in the App Store. Apparently, no one posting replies has tried this yet so I think I'll do nothing and see if others comment.

RE: Is It Okay to Ask About Checking Out with Uber Eats Using The App?
Shirley, It sounds like you have an issue with your Uber Eats online account. I'd suggest you go to their website at the following link and see if you can successfully sign in there with what you believe are your user ID and password: https://www.ubereats.com/en-US/ I think it uses the same sign on info as your Uber account. Once you are sure about your user ID and password, I'd suggest uninstalling and reinstalling Uber Eats and signing on to it again.

RE: Is It Okay to Ask About Checking Out with Uber Eats Using The App?
Shirley, It sounds like the first thing you should do is open the Uber Eats app on your device, double tap on the account button at the far right of its bottomline menu, and make sure you are properly signed into the account you set up. I expect if you properly set everything up, the app will have your payment info which will make ordering and paying much easier the next time you try it.

Ok, so when I get to the checkout part, it asks me to enter my mobile number and email address I think. Once I do enter what they ask, I then get the message telling me that an account has already been created with that email address and that is true because I created it several months ago but never wanted to order anything until now. I have repeated this part several times and get the same message so is there a way to either delete my account and start over or is there another way to proceed with checking out and placing the order?

Re: Stopping Request for Apple ID & PW
Sherry, I suspect as others have hinted that your friend has never successfully signed into his Apple ID on his device. It also sounds as if his touch ID might not be set up properly. His device should not keep prompting for his Apple ID once it's successfully provided.

RE: Amazon Music App Issue:
Yes, I've dealt with the Amazon Music app steep decline in volume by removing its access to the microphone. Of course, this removes access to Alexa with the app but it corrects the volume issue and since I don't use Alexa with the Amazon Music app, it works well for me.

Usually, like you, I can start music and all sound comes right. Sometimes it does after a little time even if I don't start music. I think the best way to deal with this is to have a piece of music open and start playing it by opening and using a two finger double tap. This assumes the app is in the app switcher and not really closed. Once music plays, everything works fine. Frustrating, but that's how it is, and you're not alone.

RE: Question About Password Managers
Shirley, Are you intending to use a passwords manager just with your iDevice or do you want something that works with both a computer and an iDevice? This can make a big difference in how we answer your questions. I personally prefer using the computer to do most of my data input including maintaining my passwords manager while I use my iPhone to access those passwords and copy and paste them to apps or websites as needed. I find KeePass version 2.44 great for maintaining my passwords on my Windows computer and it being a free download was also nice. I use the KeePass Touch app which cost 99 cents on my iPhone 8 and it can read the KeePass kdbx file from my computer which I sync between the two devices using my Dropbox account.

KeePass Overview for managing passwords
I promised this overview of the KeePass program about a month ago and I apologize for the delay in completing it. The full overview with navigable headings follows my signature. Alan Lemly I'm writing an overview of how to use the basic features of the KeePass program to manage your passwords with your computer. I'm running Windows 7 with Fusion 2019 and using KeePass version 2.44, the most recent downloadable version, for purposes of this discussion. I will include navigable headings where appropriate and since I'm sending this post in html format, these headings should be maintained. This document was completed on February 15, 2020. Introduction KeePass is an open source program available for free for maintaining a user's passwords. This discussion will be about running KeePass on a Windows computer but my understanding is that it will also run on Linux and Mac OS X. Note the spelling of the program which appears to be a combination of the words keep and an abbreviation of password and don't make the mistake I did thinking it's spelled like a key to unlock something. KeePass is basically a small database management system where the underlying records are your passwords. A database is really just a table or spreadsheet of information where each row represents a record and each column represents a field of data for that record. For password records, the main fields in KeePass are Title, User Name, and Password where Title is the item with the password such as NLS BARD account. Be aware that KeePass has two main versions and various build iterations of each, version 1.x and version 2.x. I recommend you use version 2.x as I believe it contains more accessibility and this discussion will be about it. KeePass Website The main KeePass website can be found here: <https://keepass.info/> https://keepass.info/ The site contains a lot of helpful information and I'd recommend you explore it to gather what you need. I'd suggest you start by pressing Insert + F7 to generate a list of links and arrow through them to find your interests most quickly. You can go to the Downloads link from this list or use the following link to download the KeePass program: <https://keepass.info/download.html> https://keepass.info/download.html KeePass has both fully installable and portable versions. As you arrow through the available downloads, you can pick whether you want the installer which will be an exe file or the Portable version which will be a zip file. As you know, Portable versions don't add anything to your registry and can be copied to a flash drive for portability after being unzipped. Running KeePass the first time I installed the fully installable version of KeePass a few years back when I started using it and I have no intention of uninstalling it for purposes of this overview. Be aware of that so if you experience something different from my explanation, the reason might relate to this. I will attempt to mirror a new installation by creating a new KeePass database file that will hopefully yield similar results to those who are installing it for the first time. When I pressed Ctrl + n to create an new KeePass database file, I was prompted to save it with the name Database.kdbx in the same folder of my existing KeePass database. First time users of the program will probably get different results but I'd recommend that if you're a Dropbox user, that you save your KeePass database kdbx file in your Dropbox folder. This will make syncing it with a mobile device discussed later much easier. You should make note of this file name in order to make it easier to find in the future. After providing the database filename and location, you are in a dialog box to create your composite master key which is your master password to access your KeePass database. Choose a password that isn't easily cracked but that you can easily remember. This will be the only password you have to remember going forward because all the others will be housed in KeePass to recall as needed. Type in your master password and tab once where you'll land on a checkbox that is checked to hide the password value using asterisks. Tab again to reenter your master password. Tab once which takes you to a Show expert options checkbox which you should leave unchecked. Tab again which takes you to a Help button which you can tab past to the ok button which you should execute. You will be taken to a create new password database dialog box which is multi tabbed with tabs for General, Security, Compression, Recycle Bin, and Advanced. Each of these tabs contain settings for the password database but accept for the General tab discussed below, the defaults are fine and can be ignored. You will be located on the General tab when you first enter this dialog in the database name text box. I would recommend leaving this text box blank and referring to you

RE: Question about selecting text
Tom, Text Selection from the rotor seems to be working fine for me in the Mail app. I just opened one of Sieghard's emails on my iPhone 8 running iOS 13.3.1, turned the rotor gesture to Text Selection, single finger swiped down until stopping on line selection, and then single finger swiped to the right to select 3 lines. I then did the rotor gesture until stopping on edit and single finger swiped down until hearing copy, and then double tapping to copy the selected text.

Usually, the only time I use the iOS keyboard is when I am using financial apps, because I prefer the number keyboard and I have to enter a lot of abbreviations. I tried the slide to type keyboard. With practice I am sure I could get faster, however this keyboard I can only type with one finger at a time, but with the flicktype keyboard I hold my iPhone in landscape mode between my hands and type with my thumbs. I can actually type faster this way than on a physical keyboard. That being said, I feel I should admit that I am terrible at typing and spelling.😎 For those having trouble with FlickType I highly suggest that you read the user guide.

RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?
Hi Sieghard, I'm a huge fan of FlickType but I use it in full screen mode and access it by selecting it when typing a text or email. I use the native iOS on screen keyboard for other few word text input such as searching, etc. It's great that we have alternatives. You're right that FlickType does take practice to get good with it and learn its gestures for accessing numbers and symbols but I find that practice was well worth the effort since I can type much faster with FlickType than with any other on screen option I've tried. I haven't practiced with slide to type and found it a bit offputting when I first upgraded to iOS 13.x so I turned it off. Alan Lemly -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2020 2:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type? What I like about slide to type is that it's just there, all I have to do is hold for a second on a letter and I can start sliding, I don't have to change keyboards. I am either not proficient enough with Flicktype or Flicktype is just not quite at a point where it can be left as the main keyboard in all situations. I know Flicktype officianiados may disagree, but what I mean is that I don't think somebody who can type fairly confidently with Flicktype for most regular words is able to use it for more complex entry of numbers, symbols and so on without an incredible amount of practice. I actually wonder if people like Chuck who seem to be very proficient with Flicktype never switch to the iOS default keyboard. For me to find Flicktype truly useful it would have to be similar to slide to type, something I can use the normal way, but if I have a longer stretch of text to type all it would take is a small gesture and I can start tapping away like Flicktype intends me to do. For me dictation is still what I always default to if it involves longer text and I'm not in a public place or using a Bluetooth keyboard. Thanks to using a Logitech K780 at home and the Logitech G613 at work quickly switching to my iPhone if I'm in a text message, Facebook Messenger or email entry field is very easy and fast. Having said all this, I occasionally use slide to type, i.e. I don't have it disabled, because it actually does work quite well, but just as with Flicktype it also requires a bit of practice. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Alex Stone Sent: Saturday, February 1, 2020 10:34 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: how does flick type compared to apples slide to type?

RE: How do I pause a RecUp formerly DropVox recording?
Chris, Thanks so much. That helps a lot and I confirm that it does work as you described. Now that I've got it straight, I'm looking forward to using RecUp more than I have been.

RE: How do I pause a RecUp formerly DropVox recording?
Thanks to Richard for this developer contact email address and to Chris for sorting out how to pause and resume a recording with RecUp. I can confirm what Chris posted is correct. You start a new RecUp recording by placing focus on the record button and single finger double tapping. You can pause that recording by single finger quadruple tapping. To resume and continue a paused recording, place focus on the record button and single finger double tap. You can continue to pause as needed but when you are done recording, the final single finger double tap with focus on record will end the recording and it will be uploaded to Dropbox. Sorry to go on so long with this and thanks for the help.

Hi Alan, et al, I was interested, so I went to the web site and read about the app. It hasn't been updated for a year, so perhaps he hasn't sorted out the iOS 13 changes. But, I found his email address and pasted it below. I'd suggest writing him and explaining that pausing now takes a quadruple tap and see if he can clear up how to resume. recup <mailto:re...@irradiatedsoftware.com> @irradiatedsoftware.com Richard "Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it." -- from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, by Jane Wagner On Feb 1, 2020, at 5:27 PM, Alan Lemly wrote: Chris, The single finger quadruple tap does seem to pause the recording but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to restart it in order to add to it.

How do I pause a RecUp formerly DropVox recording?
Hi List, I'm using RecUp which was formerly called DropVox today to record a meeting. It's been a while since I've used this app and I remember there was a gesture you could do once a recording was started to pause it. You could later do a single finger double tap while the record button had focus to continue the same recording. I'm hoping someone on the list either still uses this app or remembers the gesture to do what I want. Normally, single finger double tapping when the record button has focus starts the recording and then ends it at which point the recording is uploaded to the applicable Dropbox folder. If we have breaks in the meeting, I want to be able to pause the recording and start it back so I only end up with one recording. Thanks in advance for your help.

RE: How to program the programmable keys on the Logitec G613 Lightspeed mechanical gaming keyboard
Territek, Thanks for these detailed instructions. It's so nice that we still know how to use words to explain things when so many companies seem to be moving to pictorial and image explanations that leave lots to be desired even for those not using screen readerss. I will say that with how involved programming these keys seems to be, I think I'll leave them as they are.

Here is some of the information that a sighted person took from the website. Most of it was image text so not easily accessed by JAWS users. These are step by step directions. Setting up will still require sighted assistance though. How to customize keys on Logitech keyboards - 1)Download GHUB software. 2)Install the app and open it. 3)Click on the keyboard picture in the middle of the window after boot up. 4)Upon clicking a list of 3 menus appears in the extreme left of the application window. 5)The order of items would be color, Assignments and game mode 6)click on the second menu from the top or assignment menu. It opens a small set of the menu on the right side. 7)The newly opened menu has options like commands, keys, actions, macros & systems. These are organized in two rows. The first row has commands, keys, actions & rest are in the second row. 8)To map any predefined functions to a G key, click on the command. It opens a list of commands below. 9)The commands are listed down in order and categorized as windows and mac respectively. 10) Choose any command from the list and drag it to the key, you want to assign, and leave it. 11)For creating your own commands, click on macros(just below command option). 12)You will encounter a button of "create your micro" while navigating down on the same location. Click on that button. 13)Upon clicking, You will be presented with a new window where you need to specify a name for the micro. 14)After entering the name, you will be prompted to select a type of macro. Types are No repeat, Repeat while, toggle, sequence. 15)select a type and it will provide some configurations specific to that type. And below you will have menus like actions, open application, record, and some more options. It would be 6-7 options in total. Click on any as required. 16)Save the macro on the same screen by clicking save toward the bottom of the screen. 17)After save, you would come back to the macros menu and would find the created macros just below the "create your own" button. 18)Now drag the macros to the key you want to assign to. 19)And you can now use that key to activate.

RE: Unzipping and listening to an audio tutorial on the iPhone
Kimberly, Just to make sure you picked this up from Michael's and Richard's posts, you don't need to unzip the files you want to read with Voice Dream Reader. You just need to add them to your Voice Dream library either using the Add button in the Voice Dream app or with a share button in the source app. Provided the underlying files included within the zip archive are supported by Voice Dream, it should read them just fine with no need to unzip them.

IN the Files app, if you have Voice Dream Reader, there may be a share button to share it with Voice Dream Reader. Otherwise, in Voice Dream Reader, choose Add, then file browser and you should be able to find it. Also, if you are running iOS 13, you should be able to unzip it inside the Files app, then I think you could play the files in there, but not as easily as with Voice Dream Reader.

RE: A couple of setting up comments about the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard
Sieghard, Thanks. I figured the USB extension cable was to allow placement of the dongle closer to the keyboard for use with a desktop computer. What I didn't realize was that when opening a new keyboard package, that the dongle was in the keyboard's battery compartment. Maybe that's a standard practice for USB dongle devices but this is my first one and I didn't realize that.

If you plug the dongle straight into the computer, especially if it’s in a port in the back, you loose a lot of range and may get interference which you don’t get if you use this cable and put the receiver 3 or 4 feet away (I think that cable is 4 feet long. I get the same improvement with my Logitech H800 headset when using it with the USB dongle. If I plug it straight into the computer I can’t use my headset in my bedroom next door to the office. If I use a USB extension cable and hang it on the wall a few feet above the laptop it’s no problem. One thing I have yet to figure out is whether the same dongle can be used for the keyboard and the headset. Logitech calls it a “unifying receiver” and you can definitely use a USB receiver and the Logitech Options software to pair another keyboard or a mouse to it, but I am not sure about the headset. I have often wished Logitech would make a USB keyboard with a 3.5mm headphone jack on it so I could either plug speakers or a headset straight into the keyboard.

A couple of questions about the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless mechanical gaming keyboard
Hi Sieghard and List, I received my Logitech G613 Lightspeed keyboard today and very much like its look and feel. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me with: 1. Along the top of the keyboard diagonally and to the right of the F12 function key are 3 round buttons. Actually, the leftmost one of these is actually a slider switch and I believe the 2 actuall buttons to its right are for selecting either Bluetooth or USB operation. My question is what is that slider switch for? I've been told it might have a picture of a joystick on it but I'm quite perplexed as to its function. There also appears to be one more slider switch on the right side edge toward the top which is in a down position. I'm thinking maybe this is some sort of power on and off switch but I'm seeking confirmation. 2. My last question concerns powering this keyboard. Does it have user replaceable batteries and if so, where is the battery compartment? The keyboard is not rechargeable so I'm curious how I will keep it powered. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Alan Lemly -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: Whose cellular data is being used on a Facetime call?
Brian, I agree that guessing who gets charged cellular data for one of these calls isn't smart but I expect it's as others have said that both parties on the call are getting charged.

Also Enable the low data mode for cellular data by going through Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data option > Scroll Down and Enable Low data mode.

I have a smaller keyboard from Microsoft called the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's compact and fairly rugged with a plastic rubber coated lid which doubles as a stand. You need to type in a code when pairing but once that's done, there's realy no lag. I don't know if it's still available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or something. The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60% mechanical keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in mechanical keyboard circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on Amazon. You can choose the switch type you want. I like red linear switches. Other types have extra audible clicks and add more feel to typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't get multimedia controls. You do get an actual physical on/off switch on the bottom. The key for slash and question mark is tucked in the corner formed by the bottom and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's no way that I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb lighting. You don't have to enter a number code when you pair it. The advantages are that it uses Bluetooth4 and reports the status of your battery to the battery widget in the Today view of your iOS device. Nice to be able to check the battery level. There's absolutely zero lag to contend with and the board doesn't feel cramped. It is somewhat noisy to type on so I only use it at home. I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It has physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and off as well as one to switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given the stellar reviews of their prior keyboards, I don't expect much lag. I went with red optical switches which should help deal with any lag if I'm wrong. This keyboard will also give me multimedia functions despite being a 65% keyboard.

I'll confess that I'm a big fan of old-school keyboards which have distinctive mechanical click feedback when pressing the keys and I'm still using an old IBM PC AT keyboard that I snagged from the trash where I used to work. This keyboard is a tank and was obviously over-spec'ed but I offer this up so you'll know the type of keyboard I'm used to using. I know you commented on the switches of this Logitech not being as nice as the other expensive keyboard you mentioned but I'm curious as to your opinion of its mechanical click feedback. I welcome any additional comments you could share about it before I order one. Thanks in advance.

It has no backlighting, it uses a USB dongle for connectivity to the PC which has a 1 millisecond latency and you can pair it to your phone via Bluetooth which is also super responsive. Switching is done via a slider switch and it’s virtually instant. I use this keyboard as my main office keyboard, it is big and heavy and not something you would want to travel with and my only complaint is that it uses these Japanese switches called Roma-G, I wish it used Cherry MX Blue switches which I have on my wired keyboards from the company “Das Keyboard”, I have the model called Professional 4 and they are amazing, but also expensive.

I have a smaller keyboard from Microsoft called the Microsoft Universal Mobile keyboard. It's compact and fairly rugged with a plastic rubber coated lid which doubles as a stand. You need to type in a code when pairing but once that's done, there's realy no lag. I don't know if it's still available for sale so you might have to chase that one with Ebay or something. The keyboard I'm typing on now is cheeper because it's a 60% mechanical keyboard from Keymove. They've made quite a splash in mechanical keyboard circles recently. I got mine for $50 Canadian on Amazon. You can choose the switch type you want. I like red linear switches. Other types have extra audible clicks and add more feel to typing. It only has 61 keys and you don't get multimedia controls. You do get an actual physical on/off switch on the bottom. The key for slash and question mark is tucked in the corner formed by the bottom and right arrows which takes time to get used to. There's no way that I've discovered to easly turn off the rgb lighting. You don't have to enter a number code when you pair it. The advantages are that it uses Bluetooth4 and reports the status of your battery to the battery widget in the Today view of your iOS device. Nice to be able to check the battery level. There's absolutely zero lag to contend with and the board doesn't feel cramped. It is somewhat noisy to type on so I only use it at home. I've just backed a Keychron K6 mechanical keyboard on Kickstarter. It has physical switches to change between wired, Bluetooth and off as well as one to switch between devices. It uses Bluetooth 3 but given the stellar reviews of their prior keyboards, I don't expect much lag. I went with red optical switches which should help deal with any lag if I'm wrong. This keyboard will also give me multimedia functions despite being a 65% keyboard. I'll also have home and end keys. Another keyboard I've tried was from Anker. It's quiet and compact. It also has multimedia keys. Doesn't report its battery level and unfortunately suffers from a smigion of lag. Just enough to be quite annoying at times. Otherwise, it's a really nice design for a travelling keyboard. Earlier, I backed a keyboard from Hexgears called the X1. Again, wonderful build quality and a pleasure to type on but absolutely horrid Bluetooth connectivity. I use it on my computer now but that one has to pretty much go in the loses column. It's very hard to get something which checks all the boxes. I have fairly high hopes for the Keychron K6 but as you can see, I've been wrong before. I'll have to wait quite a while before I think of taking another crack at that ill
RE: Please Join Me in Requesting that the Parcel Track, for iOS, VoiceOver Accessibility be Restored
Mark, Thanks for the alert. That's discouraging that Parcel Track has taken a step backward regarding accessibility with its latest update. I'm always a bit hesitant to update an app when it talks about a significant redesign as Parcel track did with its latest update. But I never found Parcel Track to meet my needs as well as the Shiprack app which I use to track my package shipments.

Why can't Voice Dream Reader access document headings?
Hi List, I'm being diligent to add navigable headings to any help documents I write. I also recently edited the covenants document of my homeowners association to add headings to it using Microsoft Word. I then saved that document in both docx and html formats and imported it into the latest version of Voice Dream Reader. However, even though Voice Dream Reader has a button near the bottom of an open document titled Headings, Bookmarks and Highlights, the heading choice is always dimmed when I open a document containing headings. What sort of headings is Voice Dream looking for and can anyone tell me how I can get this to work? I'm not used to documents loaded into Voice Dream Reader being less accessible than loading them into the reader built into the Dropbox app. Thanks in advance for your help.

Carolyn, The Samantha enhanced voice takes more space on your device than the compact voice. I'm not technically savvy enough to know what comprises this extra space but I do know that it allows the voice to speak plainer and clear at least to my ears. As I recall the couple of times I experienced Samantha compact, she sounded muffled and much less precise as compared to her enhanced voice.

RE: How do you send a new tweet with the Twitter app?
Francisco, Thanks. That is what I'm experiencing with my conversation direct messaging the Beats Support folks. Now that I'm actually tweeting a few times, I'm getting the hang of Twitter.

Alan: If you have previously contacted that account, don't even press the compose button. Open the messages tab and scroll through the list of conversations. When you open a conversation you'll find an interface that looks very similar to any chat service. Just tap the bottom of the screen, abobe the tabs to find the text box to send a new message. Also, you can find a specific username from the search tab and dm him from is profile. Best.

Hi Mark, I wanted to update the list on my Twitter experience after your instructions below and after updating to the latest Twitter version. I was able to tweet a direct message to @BeatsSupport and have a dialog going with them regarding my BeatsX earphones issue. Twitter is a great tool for getting support where a company has a Twitter support presence. Thanks again for your help.

Hello Alan, Okay, first, I could not reproduce your findings as I was able to send a direct message without any difficulty. I will paste in your previously listed steps updated with my own. Second, when trying to reproduce your experience, I could not locate any account that starts with the word Beats. So, if you could reply with the @Name for the profile you wish to contact, I will see if I can send them a direct message. Since I could not locate your intended recipient, I sent a direct message to Apple Support, @AppleSupport, a profile to which I have sent direct messages, in the past.. 1. >From within Twitter, select the Messages tab. 2. Activate the Compose New Message, button.. 3. Either search for @AppleSupport or, if you have previously contacted them, locate their profile from the previously contacted list, located below the Search field, and single-finger, double tap the profile to activate it. 4. Either by swiping or explore-by-touch, locate the edit field which VoiceOver announces as, �Compose new message, start a new message,� and single-finger, double-tap the field to display the on-screen keyboard. 5.

I believe my issue was in item 4 of your example but I will admit that when going through the Apps Store updates today, I saw a Twitter update from a couple of days ago that I wasn't running when I posted my message. I'll not be discouraged and will keep on keeping on with Twitter and will let you know of my next attempt and its outcome.
