Subject: Michael Feir's book, Personal Power, The iOS Edition final DAISY 
available soon!

I have taken on the project of making Michael's book available with DAISY 
markings so you can listen via your stream, or even your NLS player where you 
can navigate to hundreds of headings. If you put one of the text formats into 
the stream, for example, the only access to levels you have are screens and 
paragraphs for serious navigation points. The one I am creating will give you 
access to hundreds of locations which make logical sense in a 1300 page work. 
The voice I'll initially use is TextWare James, initially, but there will be at 
least 3 versions created with different voices, and I want some input on which 
is your favorite voice. Remember this is a work which starts from nothing, 
meaning that the blind user is taken from a state of unawareness to a complete 
understanding of how IOS and the iPhone work, as far as anyone would want to go 
because after you've read this book, any question you have is a matter of 
re-reading that section again, truly.
All that can happen is a further development of the IOS and features which 
could be added, but you will be not only ready for them, you'll be anxious to 
put into practice what you know with complete assurance.
I have also taken the liberty of spelling words which are either author's names 
or unusual names of apps he recommends and/or uses, have describe what the 
heading levels are used primarily for, and recording it at a good enough level 
to avoid artifacts because I am not concerned about bandwidth. When the book is 
done, I'll make it available in either 3gp format, suitable for NLS and Victor 
Stream playing and the smallest footprint in space on your storage device, or 
48K *.mp3s which will be a good compromise for those who absolutely must use 
*.,mp3 files with the DAISY markup included.
I shall announce when I am done, and where to get it.

We have a Qardio Arm and like it very much.  It is easy to pair, easy to use, 
and keeps an easy-to-access history of your readings, which can be emailed ... 
to yourself, your doctor, anyone you choose.   The app is very simple to use,

When working with apps I have no speech on my SE2020.  I can engage Siri, and 
he will answer questions, make  calls.  When I ask him to open an app such as 
messages, speech stops.  I suppose messages is open, but I can’t interact with 
it.  I have tried three-finger doubletap in case I turned off speech, but that 
isn’t it.

 

Is there a way to reset this beautiful bugger?  I’m totally stimied.

I can't figure out how to make it talk.  Loadstone tells me it has found GPS, 
then goes silent.  There must be something I need to set, but I can't find it

Hi foks,

Is there a good GPS  app for hiking?  I have apps for on the road but as I’m 
doing more off road hiking they are not helpful.

What are people using for hiking navigation and GPS info?

Using the voice control feature is perhaps the simplest solution. Once voice

a command to turn screen curtain on or off.
