Re: ISO an accessible VOIP for business alternative to Google Voice
It's funny, you mention open phone, I looked her service up a while ago, because I was also thinking of possibly putting my home phone number to their service. Which I haven't done yet. But I hear they have a single line usage for what you want for $13 a month.

ISO an accessible VOIP for business alternative to Google Voice
Hello list, I’ve been using Google Voice for my business line and it’s worked well enough till now, but I’ve recently been having reliability issues with it. Calls not coming through, dropped calls, poor call quality and in general just not a smooth user experience. Then again, you get what you pay for right… Therefore, I’m in search of a VOIP replacement and as always, accessibility is priority #1. I’ve poked around and OpenPhone <https://www.openphone.com/> seems to be a service that pops up as one of the better options out there. There are a bunch of others with robust features and all that, but I don’t need video call capability and all the analytics breakdowns etc. Just call and text capability on iOS and PC (be it a desktop app and or the web). I’m also not looking to pay $30 plus a month per line/user. I currently use Nextiva <https://www.nextiva.com/> for my virtual fax and while they do offer VOIP packages, you check out their reviews and man… talk about rough. I’ve got no complaints about the fax side of things, but the VOIP feedback gives you pause. That and they can get expensive real quick. So, all that said, has anyone put OpenPhone through its paces? Is the iOS app accessible? Any accessibility deal breakers? Again, this would be for calls and texts on PC and iOS. If not OpenPhone, then is there another VOIP for business alternative out there that plays nice with the iPhone? Also, I’m an MS Office 365 for business user so simply upgrading to paid Google Voice with their G Suite or Google Workspace or whatever they’re calling it now isn’t something I’m going to really do.

Getting back to ear piece receiver with Google Voice app iPhone8+
Hello, Is there a means to efficiently move back to the ear piece using VoiceOver when one is using the Google voice app for calls? Right now, the app engages the speaker phone when one draws the phone away from the ear as it should, but placing the receiver back to the ear still leaves the speaker phone engaged. The only means to get back to the ear piece is to locate the speaker button and double tap and then double tap on iPhone receiver. I am using the latest version of the app with the latest version of iOS. Thank you in advance for any responses. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: iphone and google voice
There is a Google Voice app and while I don't want to discourage people who use it from replying, The below article from ZD Net might give you a good overview: Google Voice - The ultimate iPhone How-To<https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-voice-the-ultimate-iphone-how-to/> Also, doing a search for “Google voice on Applevis” brought up this app review of Google voice.<https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/google-voice>, the reviewer stated the app seemed fully accessible and easy to use with Voiceover. There are also a number of other articles on Applevis regarding Google Voice, Hang Outs and other related topics. Just go to Applevis.com and search for “Google Voice”. Applevis searches are very easy and the search results are listed in categories, e.g. app reviews, podcasts etc. Since it is a free app I would read some of these articles and just give it a shot.

Hey Mark, Ah, that make sense now. A misunderstanding on my part about the mention of the phasing out comment. Sorry about that but it was also good news that I didn't have to worry about this going away! ;) As for the new interface that Google have seem to have been doing in the past year across several services that they provide such as the Google Voice. Yes, the web interface is terrible and not for the faint of heart for sure. Even though and I'm glad to see that they still offer the Classical view. There still were some issues in the Classical as well. Not nearly as much that we see today. Yes, the Google Voice and the Google Hangout for the iOS is incredibly accessible. Much more so in their recent releases. It is more streamlined and easier to navigate than the older versions. I do have the Google Voice and Google Hangout linked together. Primarily because I can make wi-fi call with my Hangout through my Google Voice number. Rather than it just simply transferring and forwarding your phone to the number. So, I am only using data than cell when on the wi-fi. I also use Hangout because I still have friends on the Android that use the Hangout when we do video calling. There is various reason to link the two apps together. One more thing to add about the Google Voice and the Google Hangout for the iOS. I will admit I have no idea if the setup has been made more accessible. In the past, it was not accessible at all. However, I can say once you have a sighted friend to help you create an account and get you a number that it is very accessible to use. I really have no way of testing this unless I go through the entire process for another number.

Interesting. Also, do you use both the apps? If so, in what way do they differ? As for Google phasing out the classic view/use of Google Voice: I am the one who posted this to the list. Without going into great detail, my Google Voice account has been updated to the latest web UI, no doubt because I updated to the latest version of Google Voice on my Android phone. As I mentioned in a previous post, this update has greatly changed some basic features now available in the web UI. Because I use the web version of GV on a daily basis, I was extremely frustrated in the dramatic change and, as a result, contacted Google as well as reading seemingly endless amounts of white papers that Google has posted to the web regarding the latest changes to Google Voice. Somewhere, and I cannot recall the location, they clearly stated that they were phasing out the classic Google Voice UI in favor of a more, modern, consistent user experience reflecting, or attempting to more precisely reflect, the Android experience across multiple platforms. I did not write that they were phasing out Google Voice, as a service, but merely the classic web interface.

I had not heard about this and would like to know more about this as I use Google Voice quite a bit. That would be a real shame if that is true. I thought I heard that it was the other way around. For some reason, I thought I heard that Hangout was being phased out and that they have stop 3rd party of being able to use the Hangout API's. They were going with a new direction.

Google Voice app
Hi all. So I got signed in to the google voice app on my iPad with my gmail account. I type in my city into the search field and hit search. The numbers pop up but when I double tap on a number it doesn't select it. Any one know how to create a google voice number using the iOS app?

Re: google voice
I think the original question here was about setting up the account itself. As I recall, you can't do that from within the app, it has to be done on a PC. That was years ago and I remember that it was a bit tricky but worked best with NVDA. As for using the number, the Google Voice and Hangouts apps are both accessible enough for this. But creating the account was challenging at that time, I can't comment on doing it now. On 2/22/17, Cristóbal <crismuno...@gmail.com> wrote: > The Google Voice app is in fact quite accessible.

RE: google voice
The Google Voice app is in fact quite accessible. Been using it for years. They even put out a major update a few weeks ago enhancing features. GVConnect is also good and I’ve even used Google Voice through the hangOuts app. For the web, hangouts.google.com is where you can go to interact with texts and whatnot. Generally though, I find Google Voice to work better with Firefox. Although, making calls is better with IE as there’s an issue with the timer constantly being updated and spoken by Jaws if you’re a Jaws user with Windows. I use GV for my business and personal use.

Re: google voice
Hello everyone, the Google voice app is accessible. The only part that is not very accessible, is making a new phone number. I suggest, that you sent about reconsider using the Google voice app. As I use this app on a day-to-day basis. And it is very accessible. I'm still able to make/receive calls with my Google voice number on a day-to-day basis chariot anybody who was having trouble with this application, my phone line is open for assistance. So before you think again, please consider calling me at the following phone number. 25430076677667. > On Feb 22, 2017, at 7:42 AM, Kliphton Miller <kliph...@icloud.com> wrote: > > I to have been using google voice for some time now.

RE: google voice
Hello Thomas, So, are you saying that both the iOS versions of both the official Google Voice and Hangouts apps are, indeed, VoiceOver accessible? Interesting. Also, do you use both the apps? If so, in what way do they differ? As for Google phasing out the classic view/use of Google Voice: I am the one who posted this to the list. Without going into great detail, my Google Voice account has been updated to the latest web UI, no doubt because I updated to the latest version of Google Voice on my Android phone. As I mentioned in a previous post, this update has greatly changed some basic features now available in the web UI. Because I use the web version of GV on a daily basis, I was extremely frustrated in the dramatic change and, as a result, contacted Google as well as reading seemingly endless amounts of white papers that Google has posted to the web regarding the latest changes to Google Voice. Somewhere, and I cannot recall the location, they clearly stated that they were phasing out the classic Google Voice UI in favor of a more, modern, consistent user experience reflecting, or attempting to more precisely reflect, the Android experience across multiple platforms. I did not write that they were phasing out Google Voice, as a service, but merely the classic web interface.

For some reason, I thought I heard that Hangout was being phased out and that they have stop 3rd party of being able to use the Hangout API's. They were going with a new direction.

Placing a phone call from Hang Out is easy and I also receive text message via Hangout as well. Somebody mentioned that Google Voice was being phased out? I had not heard about this and would like to know more about this as I use Google Voice quite a bit. That would be a real shame if that is true. I thought I heard that it was the other way around. For some reason, I thought I heard that Hangout was being phased out and that they have stop 3rd party of being able to use the Hangout API's. They were going with a new direction. So, any information about Google Voice being phased out would be greatly appreciated!

Re: google voice
I to have been using google voice for some time now. The official google voice app is not accessible, but an app called “GV connect” is very accessible. You can make calls, send and receive texts, you can even look at your outgoing and incoming call history. That being said, I just went to google.com/voice <http://google.com/voice> on my Mac and PC, and both platforms allowed me to sign up for a new GV number. Aside from that, I don’t use the web for anything else because the GV connect app I mentioned above does everything else. On a side note, when ever you text someone from the GV connect app, it will show up in that app, and will also show up in your messages app. Now when it shows up in your messages app, it will sign a random number to it that you have never seen before, but will be followed by the persons original number. I use that number to my advantage, locking it under that persons contact as a GV number, so when I call or text them, my google voice number is the one that shows up.

RE: google voice
Hello Ann, I am replying to you, on-list. I am a long time user and fan of Google Voice. Be that as it may, I have not used the iOS app in many years choosing instead to use my Windows PC via Internet Explorer. What I can tell you is that, currently, even for those of us with some residual vision, generally speaking, Google Voice is a mess. Without getting into the histrionics, Google Voice is slowly being phased out as we know it, in favor of hardware solutions such as Android devices and software alternatives such as Google Hangouts. This may sound crazy but, when one browses to Voice.google.com, one cannot call a new number but only a number that has been dialed before. This is from the official Google help page. Is that not crazy? Of course, there are several workarounds the easiest being to bring up Legacy mode. Doing this will bring up a browser window that present Google Voice in the classic view that we have all come to know and love. Again, I have not tested the official Google app on iOS in some years but find it difficult to believe that it is not VoiceOver accessible; however, I'll take your word for it. Bottom line, at present, I prefer using Google voice on my Samsung Galaxy S6 where the interface is seamless. When that is not convenient, I simply browse to voice.google.com and from the site's menu option, select Legacy Mode. While I realize that I have not provided any answers, I hope you will feel better to learn that everyone, sighted and blind, alike, are struggling with Google Voice as Google forces the service into a new format.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
I have had Google Search on my phone for maybe a year, and find it to be a great complement to Searie. I put it onto my phone because I was, and still am, as it were, somewhat underwhelmed by Searie. My friends with Android phones seemed to be able to do very easily some things that Searie wouldn't do, or had a hard time doing, such as giving me an address or phone number of a local business. I am glad I have them both, some things one will do better, some things, the other one will do better. I think if I only could have one, I would choose Google, but I assure you, it has its issues, too.I am glad I learned how to use my iPhone with the touch screen, rather than having to rely on these voice assistants to try to do everything.

This demonstrates that the vision of Siri has yet to be truly fulfilled. The idea with such services as announced in 2011 was that you could talk to your phone in natural language style, much like you would ask your personal assistant a question. Indeed, Siri has been described as a personal assistant. One shouldn't have to get a syntax just so in order to get the answer you want. Natural language queries will improve over time, and it is good to know that at least if you ask a question in just the right way, you may get the answer you're looking for. Who knows what things will be like a year from now, but at this point it seems Google can parse queries a little more intelligently, at least in some cases. Apple seem to know it has some catch-up to do. Word is they are devoting some serious new resources to improving what Siri can do. I suspect we will see big things relating to Siri in iOS 9.

In your instance, it was an unfair comparison, disadvantaging Apple. As discussed previously on this list, SIRI requires people to use the word convert at the beginning of a currency conversion. SIRI taps into yahoo finance, which uses the command structure country followed by currency name of originating currency followed by the country name and currency name of destination currency. when this syntax is used, SIRI can be used easily for currency conversion.

The question needs to be asked, if Google can look for businesses in more countries, why is Apple behind in this regard? There is an increasing disparity emerging not just with Siri, but also with iTunes Radio and now Apple Pay. Yet people pay the same price for their iphones. This limitation only affects a couple of the questions asked, however, and it's made clear when this is the case. Most of the others will be answered similarly no matter where in the world you live. . The best thing people can do, I think, is try both apps and see which works best for them in any given scenario.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
In my opinion, Microsoft's Cortana, its Virtual Personal Assistant BLOWS Apple's Siri OUT of the WATER in terms of what it can do. Also, Microsoft is allowing its WP App Developers to incorporate the use of Microsoft's Cortana with the functionality of apps. I only HOPE App Developers provide more Microsoft Narrator friendly access as well as access to other disabled populations without diminishing features of the apps.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Hi Robin, you make a really important point. With all the extensability features added in iOS 8, there is still no Siri API. Imagine if you could ask Siri to read the latest John Grisham from Bookshare, which could cause Voice Dream to spring into action, tune into your favourite local station, which could cause TuneIn Radio to open, Call me a taxi to pick me up, which could cause a taxi app to open pre-populated with your current address...the possibilities are endless. Apple doesn't like being behind. It has the resources to fix Siri, which is clearly an offering not keeping pace, and I'm sure it will. There's so much more room for intelligent use of natural language to be explored as well. But Siri absolutely needs an API. An interesting footnote to my audio piece is that yesterday afternoon a few hours after recording it, I asked Siri how much the 11-inch Macbook Air weighed. Siri performed a web search and showed results on the screen, but when I asked the same question of Google Voice Search, it spoke me the precise answer. It was impressive on Google's part.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Hi Jonathan and list, I listened to the Siri and Google voice search. I got the app, and I would recommend it to anyone. Google voice search is good. And you don't have to use all of the other things in the app so thanks for this nice audio comparison. God bless, Wren LangleyPS it's not that hard to create a Google account, although it took me quite a while because I couldn't get my verification email address. I finally got it done though by getting a verification code from Google. I even ended up resetting my password. So if I can do it anyone can. :-).

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Jonathan, I was able to successfully convert $19.95 in American currency to New Zealand dollars. first in converting currencies in SIRI, it is always important to say the name of the country using dollars, as multiple countries call their currency dollars. I told both SIRI and Google quote convert 19 point 95 United States dollars into New Zealand dollars end quote. I received the exact value from both SIRI and Google. In your instance, it was an unfair comparison, disadvantaging Apple. As discussed previously on this list, SIRI requires people to use the word convert at the beginning of a currency conversion. SIRI taps into yahoo finance, which uses the command structure country followed by currency name of originating currency followed by the country name and currency name of destination currency. when this syntax is used, SIRI can be used easily for currency conversion.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Hi kerri, this demonstration examines the two voice search options as I experience them. The question needs to be asked, if Google can look for businesses in more countries, why is Apple behind in this regard? There is an increasing disparity emerging not just with Siri, but also with iTunes Radio and now Apple Pay. Yet people pay the same price for their iphones. This limitation only affects a couple of the questions asked, however, and it's made clear when this is the case. Most of the others will be answered similarly no matter where in the world you live. . The best thing people can do, I think, is try both apps and see which works best for them in any given scenario.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Hi kelly. This demonstrates that the vision of Siri has yet to be truly fulfilled. The idea with such services as announced in 2011 was that you could talk to your phone in natural language style, much like you would ask your personal assistant a question. Indeed, Siri has been described as a personal assistant. One shouldn't have to get a syntax just so in order to get the answer you want. Natural language queries will improve over time, and it is good to know that at least if you ask a question in just the right way, you may get the answer you're looking for. Who knows what things will be like a year from now, but at this point it seems Google can parse queries a little more intelligently, at least in some cases. Apple seem to know it has some catch-up to do. Word is they are devoting some serious new resources to improving what Siri can do. I suspect we will see big things relating to Siri in iOS 9.

Re: Audio Demonstration: Siri versus Google Voice Search
Hi This is a very interesting subject. I certainly would like Siri to be able to work more world wide. Here in South Africa I can not ask Siri any info on restaurants, movies and the like. So, it rather does very basic things here, which I find to be a great pity. In that way Google can do better, in our country at least. I can ask for a kfc (chicken restaurant), and google will list the closest one to me, which is really the kind of thing one wants to do.

That or have the text forwarded to your email and just reply to that mail and it'll show up as as text sent from your GV number as well.

RE: not satisfied with google voice apps.
Yes, but TalkATone requires a totally separate number and is a different service all together. When they lost GV support back in May, I dropped the app from my phone. It would be something even worth considering, but if you’ve already have a GV number, it’s probably not worth the hasstle. Besides, GV is very convenient with being able to forward texts and voicemails to your cell number or email address.

Hi all. So I have google voice. Over the years, I've used Talkatone, the GV app, and GV Connect. While GV Connect does have plenty of features, it does not automatically dxnload messages. The Google voice shows notifications but isn't as featureful as I'd like. I would use textnow, but my gv number is what people know, and its what I like using. So how do people use GV on iOS? BTW, voicemac on Mac OS works great for GV, which is how I know greatness can be done, but app devs just don't seem to care much, it would seem.

RE: not satisfied with google voice apps.
Devin, One more thing, I trust that you are aware that as long as you do not initiate a Google Voice Text message from your iPhone, you can reply from your iPHone's native Messaging app and the recipient will see it as coming from your Google Voice number. So, here is the scenario: 1. Someone sends you a text message addressed to your Google Voice telephone number. The Message is forwarded to your iPhone which means it appears in your Messaging app. 2. Simply reply to the text message from within the iPHone's native app and the recipient will receive it as though it came directly from your Google Voice number. Finally, you can use this exact same technique to call someone directly from your iPhone, from within the Messaging app, and they will see the caller ID as being from your Google Voice number. Give it a try.

Well, that miain thing I use GV for is texting. If hangouts supports texting using GV, and not just google talk, I'd love to know how as I'm sure that'd be the best way. When I use GV connect, I rarely get push notifications about when texts come in, even though I always have the app open. With the google voiae app, the notifications come in, but sometimes when I open the app, the text isn't there in the conversations list. Besides that, I can't just press space with e on the braille display to send the message as I can with GV Connect.

The biggest change for Google voice users is for those that use apps like talk atone or the OB talk phone bridge boxes to have free home phone service without paying for it. However there is a solution for those types of users that cost $35 per year for unlimited incoming calls and 300 minutes about going calls. There is also another one which is costing $60 a year which includes unlimited incoming and outgoing calls. They will even set up your Google voice number as the outgoing caller ID so if a lot of people have that number they won't have to worry about learning a new number for you. As for using the Google voice number for things like text messaging and other things, Google voice will migrated into their hangouts platform which is currently not very voice over friendly.

You can go to the Google voice website and set everything up there. I have the best luck using NVDA or window eyes.

Re: Question about Google voice
Hi login to your obitalk portal. Then choose approved service providers. You will find a link there to two of them which are offering Google voice and obitalk users a discounted promotion rate. The one I mentioned is from a company called phone power. The plans are either 34.95 per year or 59.95 per year and that includes all 911 recovery and other regulatory fees. I already helped two of my clients in switching to the phone power offer. They will ask you if you want to port your Google voice number over or use one of their own. In both cases they chose to get a new number from phone power. Then you can add that new number into your call forwarding section of Google voice. Phone power will also spoof the caller ID so when you make outgoing calls it will appear to come from your Google voice number. This way you do not have to give everybody a new number. It sounds a bit complicated but is really easy. Their website is very friendly to navigate as well. In order to take advantage of the phone power offer for $34.95 or $59.95 per year you have to go through your OBIT talk portal. --- Sent from Raul's rectangular glass - 832.554.7285 Please excuse any auto complete or dictation weirdness.

For example, people like you and me who have an unlocked phone bridge from Obihai, called the Obi Talk, and use it as a home phone service with Google Voice, will need to find a different solution very soon.

RE: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps
I saw a couple of postings earlier this morning about Google's plans to kill off Voice and incorperate its features into hangouts. http://9to5google.com/2014/03/18/google-plans-kill-google-voice-in-months-integrate-features-into-hangouts/ I suppose it was kind of expected the way Hangouts was being more and more emphasized and GV features being gradually added to hangouts. One can only hope that however it gets sorted out that the Hangouts iOS app becomes accessible. The latest hangouts update made what little accessibility there was disappear. I guess we can only wait and see to what Google finally does and what the finished Voice integration into hangouts looks like. That and reach out to Google to request that whatever solution they finally come up with has accessibility out of the gate. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 2:06 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps There haven't been further details, but Obihai is supposed to be coming out with their own $40/annual offer soon. -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of MamaPeach Sent: Monday, March 17, 2014 8:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Google Voice And 3rd Party Apps Thanks so much for the details.
