Re: Seeking Your Thoughts
Thank you, Richard. That is very helpful to know. I will proceed to contact the developers on both apps to see if changes can be made. If anyone on the list is decent at programming in IOS, could you contact me offlist? I'd like to be able to offer some type of specific solution to see if it works, and I'm not a programmer.

Re: Seeking Your Thoughts
I had removed the USA Today app a long time ago because it was flakey with VoiceOver. : just downloaded it again and you are right. I get the exact behavior you describe. That is not a setting on your phone. There is clearly some kind of code in their app that is confusing VoiceOver. It is like they are using an end of article code at the end of each paragraph. I hear the "bong" sound like you hear when you get to the end of an article after each sentence or paragraph. I think if you describe that to the developer and asked them to look at how VoiceOver behaves, they can figure it out if they want to. Good luck, Richard "There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing." - Aristotle > On Apr 26, 2014, at 10:19 PM, Keith Bundy wrote: > > I am experiencing a problem with two apps, USA Today for Iphone and a local > newspaper app called the Argus Leader.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi, you can do the following since you already have a gmail account. 1. Create a new shared calendar from the calendar site of google. this is of course under your own account sign in. Call it whatever you want, hubby-wife is a good example. 2. Invite your husband's gmail address. Assuming he has one. if not, get him one. 3. Give him access to both read and write to this shared calendar. That way even though its your calendar, he can see the events you post, and he can add his own as well. 4. From your iOS devices, go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, and Calendar and add the calendar account. You do this by choosing Add, then Other, then CalDAV. In the username and password you give it your own user name and password for your gmail account. Do the same on his iOS device, but give it his gmail user name and password. One thing to keep in mind is if you already have your gmail account setup for mail on your phone, go into that settings and turn off calendars. This way you have a specific calendar entry. 5. From each of your iPhones bring safari and visit the page https://m.google.com/sync/settings/ and sign in with your own gmail account. This will show a list of calendars. Check the ones you want to share. Of course you want to have the new calendar you created checked. A few notes. The reason I suggest creating your own new calendar to share rather than just sharing your default is because this gives you the chance to add your own events which don't need to be shared. What if you use your calendar for pill reminders or a reminder to take the trash out. I would imagine that your husband doesn't need to know that you are out taking the trash, but I'm just guessing. The same is true for him, with his own personal calendar. Now, when you need to enter appointments which do matter, like a doc appointment, or be ready for the lawn service, or whatever, then you would enter those into the shared calendar. From the iPhone settings you can make the shared calendar the default. That way when you add new entries, by default they will go to the shared one. This way both your and your husband have access to the same calendar. The steps for this seem convoluted, but really are not too bad. i also didn't give specifics on where to go in the web site, so hopefully you can navigate this ok. I use Firefox and Window-Eyes on Windows 7 and can do it. Good luck. -- Raul A.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Keeping your calendar in the cloud, such as in Google Calendar, would be an option. Your calendar could be accessed from your iPhone, the web and other clients. Multiple people could subscribe to the calendar and others could be given access to update the calendar.

Hi, If you both use iCloud, one of you can set up a shared calendar. Then you can both see any appointments either of you add to that calendar.

I just set it up at my work. The office staff sets my appointments (counselling) using Outlook. Outlook syncs with my work calendar on Google. My iPhone syncs with my Google work calendar. If I schedule appointments, or work schedules appointments, both work Outlook and my iPhone work calendar are synchronised.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
I would think you would be able to use the calendar app on both the Mac and iPhone to do this. I'm the iPhone if you go to the list view, it would just give you a list of your clients in their order of appointment. I wish I had an iPhone, and a Mac, back when I was doing massage. I used to carry around a looseleaf notebook with my massages handwritten. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

RE: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
I have a question? I keep my own calendar and my husband his on our separate iPhones. I never really thought about sharing them, and a good reason is he often forgets appointments which I remember and could put in for him if that were possible! I have not used any web calendar, just Outlook and the iPhone and since Outlook is on our home computers, we don't have an exchange server. Would it be possible to do what I am suggesting? I hear all calendars but, have never attempted to set up more than one. Are we confused yet? I'd like to be able to access his calendar from my phone.

Re: iPHone book (was Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app)
Hi Anna. That makes sense. I'll be publishing an article on the changes with accessibility in iOS 7 the day it is released, but certainly covering all of what you do is beyond the scope of an article. It's also cool to see what other things people find in the new releases, since there is no easy way to know what is new and how it impacts VoiceOver users.

iPHone book (was Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app)
Hi Scott, I'm glad you liked that format. The plan is for me to do an iOS 7 book for NBP, but rather than having an iOS 5 book and two supplements, they'd like me to do one integrated book again. It's less confusing for new users. Best, Anna On Aug 16, 2013, at 12:35 PM, Scott Davert wrote: > Hi Anna. > I just wanted to say thank you for throwing the iOS 6 update book out > there.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Anna. I just wanted to say thank you for throwing the iOS 6 update book out there. I like how it didn't force those who had the iOS 5 book to pay full price. I hope that you will consider throwing one together for iOS 7. Scott On 8/16/13, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: > Hi Shelly, > > I see what you mean.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Shelly, I see what you mean. I don't have to use that many calendars, so I haven't run into these problems a lot, but the problems you mention are certainly present in iOS 6. I hope this improves in iOS 7. I'm so glad you liked my iPHone book. I'm glad you're doing one that addresses all the accessibility features of the iPHone, since it's important to get all that information to the people who need it.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Anna, and thanks, Calendar setup on the phone (or iPad) is pretty straightforward. I, too, use Siri to set up an event, though I sometimes need to edit in order to add info to the appointment. Have you worked with multiple calendars? VO won't read the calendar a particular event belongs to, unless you open the event. Nor will it give you a status update when you enable/disable a calendar's visibility. You can make the update, but VO won't tell you whether you're turned the calendar on or off. I really enjoyed your iOS book, by the way. -shelly On Aug 16, 2013, at 10:31 AM, Woody Anna Dresner wrote: > Hi Shelly, > > I use siri to make appointments when I can because it's faster.

Re: Seeking your thoughts about Calendar app
Hi Shelly, I use siri to make appointments when I can because it's faster. I have a calendar that I share with my family, and it works well. I had some trouble setting it up in the first place. I was using the Mac, but I think it would be easier on the phone. But I've found looking at dates and setting appointments to be accessible.
