Hi Teresa, You wrote: I wonder if every time VO encounters the word weather, it will say weather underground instead? After all, it is just doing what you told it. :) No, it doesn't seem to do that.

Also, are you 100% sure that you labeled the app name and not the folder name? Absolutely. Tom Everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough.-Richard P.

Renaming Apps
Wow, thanks for this great explanation. You were right on target. I had to keep renaming the apps before they took from within the App Switcher. The two apps in question were both called Pro Radio, one was for football, one was for basketball. I just hope that when stations are updated, as will be the case for each app, the labels will hold. We'll see. Les -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group. To search the VIPhone public archive, visit http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/.

Renaming apps, was RE: free apps to quickly record, video, or take a picture
Hi, Do a double tap and hold with two fingers and wait for the tones and you will be able to name it to whatever you like.

So yes, you have to get around quick, but it's not taking pictures too quick blessedly. I set it to 5 and put the sound on hwich is quite descrete but at least you know it's oding it, so you know how slow it is. I got around with only 50 to delete out the camera roll; so many pictureso f fingers and feet on desk it's not true! I wasted most time feeling for a button and just double tapped whereever and it got in; so note that if you get the camera app. My question, and should put this elsewhere I suppose, can anyone remember how to rename or relabel an app on the desktop as I now have two simply called Camera!.

It doesn't actually change anything in reality. This is sort of like labeling a graphic in Windows with your screen reader. All it does is give a label to the screen reader for your use, it doesn't change anything physical about it. HTH -- Raul A.
