Re: List recorder on ipad mini

2013-01-01 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Denise,

I recently spoke to the developer of List Recorder and the fix 
submitted just before the holidays has been approved by Apple.  We now need to 
wait for the App Store to do it's thing and the update will appear.  It should 
be available soon.  Once there update your device and List Recorder will work 
normally and even have a few improvements.

Re: Recording, Or Taking Notes On, A Phone Call?

2013-01-06 Thread Eric Caron
Hi folks,

Currently I am able to use List Recorder to record a phone 
conversation. It only works in speaker phone mode but the quality is pretty 
good.  Here is what I do.

the phone call must be started first.
I then press the home key and go to List Recorder.
I then start a new recording.
Now the other person's voice is recorded as it comes out of the speaker and 
mine is recorded normally.  I find this useful when I need to remember 
information being given to me over the phone.

Re: Fleksy Question

2013-01-16 Thread Eric Caron
Bill and others,

I would like to do the in app purchase for Fleksy but cant figure out 
where it is.  When I first got Fleksy it started with a screen with a few 
options including instructions.  After playing with the app a little it no 
longer opened to that screen but now just starts and says tap once to start or 
something like that.  I checked Fleksy settings in the settings area of the 
phone and there is nothing I can do there.  In my current app I can't figure 
out how to get out of the typing mode. 

Sorry for such a strange question but I'm stumped.

Re: List recorder recording volume

2013-01-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Fanus,

No You can't increase the volume but you can increase the recording 
quality.  I think the default is 22 KHZ  you can up it to CD quality in the 
settings area.  That may give you the higher recording level you are asking 
about.  

Hope that helps.

Re: List recorder recording volume

2013-01-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Sherrie,

  You can use the tilt forward gesture to go to the tool bar and the first 
button to b read is "Record New Item"  lift the phone back up  and a new 
recording will start.  So yes, the gesture can start the recording without any 
tapping.  You can also tilt the phone right and when you hear add item double 
tap and you will be in a new item and on the record button.

my preferred method to record quickly is to keep list recorder in my doc on the 
far left.  I open the app and then tap Record new item , which is also on the 
bottom left.  I'm then immediately making a recording. 

Hope this info helps.

Hi Negoslav, 

In more recent versions of List Recorder the Tilt Gestures are off by 
default.  you will need to turn them on in settings to use them.

Re: List Recorder and recursive lists

Hi Thomas,

I'm not sure what you are asking List Recorder to do?  Perhaps you 
could explain again what you want it to do another way?  I think the word 
recursively is confusing me in this context. 

>From what I understood so far you wanted to make a grocery list and then in 
>that list make sub lists by category say Dairy, then inside that list would be 
>the dairy items, like milk Eggs, cream, and butter. 
You would sort the grocery list manually in the order you want perhaps the 
order you travel through the store and the items in the sub list 
alphabetically.  All this is possible using List Recorder's title text area and 
sort options. 
YOu can then check and uncheck items to indicate if you purchased them 
or not. 

Can you explain the rest of your question again.  sorry about not following 
your question.

Re: List Recorder and recursive lists

2012-04-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Thomas, Paul, and others,

I think I understand what you are asking for now.  Lets double check. .

What you are looking for is a way to have List Recorder know what items are 
checked not only in the current list but in the sub lists inside  that list.  
Then You would like List Recorder to have the option to perform   actions   on 
all these checked items from the parent list and sub lists.  specifically you 
would like to copy these items to a new list while leaving the original items 
unmoved from their current lists.
I suppose you might want additional options such as deleting, or unchecking all 
items, or moving all items from the parent and sub lists.

Is this the new feature you are looking for ?

Currently action preformed on checked items is limited to the parent list only. 
 Also, items can be moved but there is not a option to copy checked items while 
leaving the original in place.  
So in addition to recursively taking action on checked items in the 
parent and child or sub lists, a new option  to copy checked items rather then 
move them would be needed.

Am I understanding your request completely now?

I have a list of user requested features that I regularly review with 
the developer and I would be glad to include this, as long as I have it right!

Re: List Recorder and recursive lists

2012-04-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Tom and others,

It's interesting but no one has actually asked for a copy item or list 
function.  Most people must be either moving them or placing them where they 
want.  

Also, Tom, I can picture a way to do what you want with the current 
feature set in List Recorder but it would involve use of some extra steps and 
some advanced features.  Still if you want to do it now I could explain.

I did some advanced feature podcasts at applevis.com.  The podcast on 
exporting and importing would teach you the steps you would need. 

You could export your parent list then import it back.  This would give you a 
copy.  You could then check the items you want to keep or the ones you want to 
delete in the copied list structure.  You then delete the unwanted items and 
you are all set.  It really wouldn't be that hard.  

Here are some podcast links that include the export and import function.

List Recorder and using Tilt Gestures

2012-04-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Listers,

I recently did another podcast showing how to use the tilt gestures in List 
Recorder.  It is available at applevis.com.  I also placed the link below. 

This will show how to use tilt gestures such as tilting the phone to 
the right to start and stop play back or recording.  And how to delete a item 
quickly with a back tilt.

I originally found the gestures confusing but now find them very helpful and 
actually wish other apps used them. 

Hope this podcast is helpful to List Recorder users.

typetophone tip

2012-04-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hello Listers,

I just listened to another excellent podcast from David Goodbridge at 
visionaustralia.com web site.  He discussed typetophone.  this mac app cost 
$4.99 US and allows your mac keyboard to input directly to your iPhone.  I have 
a dedicated bluetooth keyboard for this so was skeptical at first.  But, I was 
intrigued by the fact that text could be copied from the mac to the iPhone.  
this seemed to open up all kinds of possibilities.  
During his podcast David mentioned that the keys when pressed together 
do not always work the first time.  I noticed this right away when playing with 
the app.  My bluetooth keyboard was much more consistent and responsive.  Then 
I discovered that if I pressed a two key combination slightly differently I got 
consistent results that made using the typetophone app more responsive.  For 
example, if I press the up and down arrow together I might have to do this many 
times to get the phone to react.  but if I press the up arrow and then quickly 
the down aero it works every time.  It does not work the other way around, down 
arrow followed by quick up arrow.  Also quick nab seemed to toggle better if I 
pressed left and right slightly after each other and not the usual simultaneous 
push. 
I think this app will be very nice as it is easier to use one keyboard 
to control my devices rather then changing to a different keyboard.  It looks 
like it will be easy to change between iOS devices for those who have several 
devices. 
Also, my dedicated bluetooth keyboard and the mac seem happy to both work on 
the iPhone at the same time.

Hope this tip is useful.  

If others find ways to make this app work better please share.

Definitely listen to David's podcast before trying it out.

Re: List Recorder and recursive lists

2012-04-18 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Thomas,

Wow! and you say you only just bought List Recorder?  Though it turns 
out that is a convenient and easy way to make many titled items quickly, I have 
not tried it in about two years of List Recorder use.  Your comment caused me 
to give it a try and it worked really well.  I was hoping to combine this with 
my new use of typetophone.  I was hoping to be able to copy text from the Mac 
directly to the iPhone.  So far I can not duplicate what David Woodbridge 
recently demonstrated on visionaustralia.org.  With that working I would be 
able to organize all kinds of text easily to List Recorder and any app that 
uses text. 

I'm really impressed with your use of advanced List Recorder features. It took 
me a lot longer to explore and use such features. 
Please keep us posted on your discoveries and feature requests and ideas.

Re: voiceover anouncing clock time every minute

2012-04-18 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Dave,

This happens if you leave the Voice Over focus on the clock.  Voice 
Over will then keep announcing the time each minute as it changes.  Just be 
sure the focus is somewhere else and this will not happen.  Or if you are in a 
situation where you want to keep track of the time then you have the option to 
do so.  This is probably also what is happening to you with the phone when you 
keep hearing elapsed time.  This is helpful for those needing to keep careful 
time of the usage but if not helpful just change the position of the focus  of 
Voice Over.

Hope this helps.

Trouble pasting in typetophone

2012-04-18 Thread Eric Caron
Hello Listers,

After using typetophone, a Mac App recently reviewed on 
visionaustralia.org by David Woodbridge, I have found I can not copy text to my 
iPhone.  that is when I follow the directions I only get part of the text.  I 
suspect this may have happened to David in his podcast as well as there was a 
typing error.  In fact, he probably typed the sample correctly and typetophone 
probably made the error.
Has anyone found a way to consistently paste text to to the iPhone 
using this app?

You are supposed to be able to select and copy text on the mac as usual then in 
the typetophone app press " Command Shift V"  When I do this only part of the 
text shows up in the phone text area.  This would be very handy if it actually 
worked.

Re: Trouble pasting in typetophone

2012-04-18 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Esther,

I spent some more time trying to trouble shoot with typetophone.  I was 
not successful. either with command V or with Command shift V.  In both cases I 
got some text but it was not the complete three lines of text I had selected.  
Further it seemed different each time I tried to paste it in.  When I tried 
command Option shift v nothing was entered.

The app seems to be working well for me as a way to enter text and 
navigate on the iPhone but sadly that paste option I was looking for isn't 
working for me.  I'm hopeful now that you have said that there have been 
updates that perhaps this will be fixed in the future.  I appreciate the tips 
and background. 

If your updated version is working that would be great to know.

Digit-Eyes and Canon MP620 printer

2012-04-22 Thread Eric Caron
hello listers,

If anyone out there is using a Canon MP 620 printer with Digit-Eyes I'd 
love to find out if you had any difficulty getting this printer to print labels 
 correctly.  I'll be checking in with Cannon and trying a different package of 
labels soon, but in the meantime I can't seem to get the Avery 8160 labels to 
work with this printer.  they print just a bit too high.  As this seems to be a 
pretty common printer I'm wondering if anyone has all ready solved this 
problem.  Also if it is working well for you perhaps you could let me know 
which labels you are using successfully with this printer?

I've been very impressed with the Digit-Eyes web site and the available 
support.  But, I have this one last step to conquer, before exploring all the 
possibilities of this app.

Re: Digit-Eyes and Canon MP620 printer

2012-04-24 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Christina,

Thank you for this suggestion.  Can you tell me how to open the PDF in 
Preview?  I only know how to follow the steps on the Digit-Eyes site and open 
the PDF when I press the link.  I'm entering unknown territory here.

  I never thought to question the browser or the PDF area.  I just assumed it 
was the printer or something in my printer settings.

Once I have sighted help I could try other browsers on the mac or my 
virtual machine.  However opening in Preview sounds like it would be the 
easiest solution.

So, how do I have the page open in Preview?

Notes and cloud

2012-04-28 Thread Eric Caron
Hi listers,

I've been experimenting more with iCloud in general and having some 
success.  Recently I tried to use the Apple Notes app to quickly sink info to 
and from my iPhone and my computer.  I've had almost complete success.  I'm 
hoping someone can help with the last step.
I set up my phone to sink with iCloud and made sure that my computer was also 
set up with notes and mail set to sink in iCloud.  

Now when I make a note on my phone it shows up immediately in my in box in 
mail.  I would like the opposite to also happen but am having trouble.


I press command Control N, when in mail and make a new note.  It doesn't sink 
over iCloud.  When I sink my phone with iTunes it does sink and the note shows 
up on my phone.

I would like to use this as a way of pasting text into a note on my  computer, 
then having it show up on my iPhone in Notes.  I could then copy and paste it 
into List recorder or other iPhone app.

On the other direction it is sometimes nice to make a note and then find it 
waiting for me in my mailbox.

So, I'm able to sink using iCloud from my iPhone to my Mac but not the other 
way around.  yet, If I sink using iTunes it works.

I am not using iCloud backup but didn't think this was the problem as iCloud is 
working one direction from the phone to computer.  I just need the other 
direction to work.

Perhaps when I create a new note it is not considered to be from iCloud, as 
there is also a notes folder under on My Mac.  How could I be sure the note is 
under iCloud?

Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Re: Problems with staples labels that affect iPhone scanning?

Using Avery labels 5160 3 across 10 down on my HP Laser jet they worked well.

Using Avery Label 8160 3 across 10 down on My Canon mp620 Ink jet printer I

If I ever get the Canon Printer working I'll certainly let Nancy and the list

Re: Digit-Eyes and Canon MP620 printer

2012-04-29 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Christina,

Thank you for your help.  Your directions worked just fine, as far as 
saving the PDF.  I then tried printing from Preview but again my labels are off 
by a quarter of a inch.  I'm probably just going to give up and instead use 
different labels at work on my HP Laser printer.  I just preferred being able 
to use my home printer, the canon MP620 Ink jet.  this way I could print what I 
need and when I need them.  I also hope other users of Digit-Eyes using  this 
printer are not having this problem. 

warmly.

Hello list,

For anyone following this small thread, I am still unsuccessful 
printing Digit-Eyes labels using my Canon MP620 printer.  I tried Christina's 
suggestion of printing from preview and the results were the same.  Using the 
labels that are 30 per page they print about 1 quarter of a Inch too high.  
Using my work HP laser printer with different Avery labels, but also 30 per 
page, they print fine.

I ordered more labels that are a better shape for Digit-Eyes and though I meant 
to get labels I could use on both Ink Jet and Laser printers, the receipt shows 
they are Laser labels.  Thus, I'm going to use my work printer.

One big tip for new users like me.  Once you get the labels printed they are 
much easier to use if the label is almost completely clear of extra white 
space.  My secretary used a paper cutter to cut my labels into strips of square 
Digit-Eyes labels, rather then the long rectangular shape.  This made all the 
difference for me concerning recognition time with Digit-Eyes.  I went from 
beginners frustration to efficient fast user just with that change.  The long 
labels left too much guess work for me to center the camera.  Though I thought 
I was centered I rarely was.  Once I had a square label things worked much  
better!

I am looking forward to trying the close to square, slightly larger,  1 and 1/4 
by 1 and 3/4 quarter inch labels I ordered.  I'll certainly send a message with 
a update.

Best.

Re: Digit-Eyes and Canon MP620 printer

2012-04-29 Thread Eric Caron

Hi Rick,
Yes, AVery 6570 are the labels I ordered.  On the site it didn't say laser or 
ink jet, but on the order receipt it says laser.  Hopefully the package will 
clearly state if it can be used in both styles of printer.  I was beginning to 
wonder if maybe the number like 6570 only applied to size and we had to specify 
laser or Ink jet. 

Thanksf for your note.  I'll remain optimistic.

Re: Game Center success and quesiton

2012-04-29 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Scott,

I'm no expert and I find both Game Center and Roll it a bit quirky, but 
I'm able to play over the internet fairly consistently with friends.

At one time sighted friends also sad said they had trouble finding the 
accept button.  I suggested changing in game Center notifications under 
settings the option from banners to alertss. This seemed to help as the request 
would remain available to select but with Banners it would disappear. 

It took me a long time to figure out the series of steps needed to 
select a friend, select the game, send a invitation, start the game and then 
finally play! 

sometimes you need to wait a chunk of time for a connection to happen.  
sometimes for no reason a game quits telling you your partner left even though 
they did not.

If the tip on alerts doesn't do it perhaps you would like to contact me off 
list and we could set up a Skype contact and we could work through the steps 
together. 

The game is not perfect and has Somme  accessibility issues and some scoring 
flaws, but over all it is good fun.

Re: Notes and cloud

2012-04-29 Thread Eric Caron
Hi John André,

I could have looked for a long time and never found that button!  Thank 
you very much!  It now works just as I hoped.  Now Notes is a convenient way 
for me to move text to my iPhone.  Also, even though my note is initially 
showing up in my in box I can easily move it to the iCloud Notes folder and it 
is then saved for future use but not cluttering up that all important in box 
space.

Thanks again for helping to get this useful tool working for me.

Re: Notes and cloud

2012-04-30 Thread Eric Caron
John or others,

I've looked and must be missing a setting.  I'd like to be able to keep 
my notes in the note folder but they keep popping up in my in box even after I 
move them.  They seem to go there when I reed them in the Notes appp. 

Does anyone remember how to tell mail to keep the notes in the Notes 
folder?  I used to have this setting back in Snow Leopard.  I'm using the new 
Mail view so that could be part of my problem finding the setting.

Re: Notes and cloud

Hello John André and listers,

Your directions,John André,  were great.  I can now use notes to 
communicate between my computer and my iPhone.  I looked around mail for the 
setting for quite some time.  Without this tip I would not have found out how 
to control the in box setting for my Nottes.  I am finding this very helpful.  
I am considering doing a small podcast to show how this app can come in handy.  
That is now that   John André and this list have provided me the needed  tips I 
needed to get everything set up!

Sometimes things seem buried in funny places in the preferences.  In the future 
I will explore every tab I can find.  Still I don't think I would have looked 
under accounts to find how to control my notes, especially when I had found a 
related setting under composing.  It is strange that they are in different 
locations.


gratefully,

Eric Caron

Re: Blind vendors

2012-05-01 Thread Eric Caron
Hi VaShaun Jones

I'm a blind professional working in a Public School system.  I also have 
background working in career planning for the visually impaired.  Recently, I 
have been dramatically increasing my use of the iPhone at work.  Below are apps 
I would recommend for professional and personal use.

These are my most used apps that could be purchased and are either designed for 
the blind or especially helpful:

List Recorder
Vis Wiz, Free 
Recognizer 
Money Reader
Digit-Eyes
Prizmo 

Many standard apps like Calendar, Reminders, Safari, and so on are very helpful.

There are so many more depending on the needs to be filled and the person's 
vision There are the apps for Learning Ally, Bookshare, and ZoomReader

I look forward to seeing what apps others recommend.

Re: Digit-Eyes and Canon MP620 printer

2012-05-01 Thread Eric Caron
Hello everyone,

So I received my 6570 labels.  I did a test print with my Canon MP620 
printer.  Results are ok but not amazing.  The code prints completely on the 
label so it is usable.  It still is not centered so I still have some work to 
do to figure out my printer.  
I need to practice a bit more with these labels before I can report 
back.

Thank you Nancy for the tip about the Avery numbering system.  I was given some 
labels that start with the number 5 so now I know those should be used on a 
laser printer.  Meanwhile my 6570 labels can be used on either Ink or laser.

It is hard to improve my printer set up skills as I cannot  see the results and 
my sighted helpers have limited patience when it comes to printer issues.

Still it is working well over all.

Re: Recording lectures on iPhone

2012-05-04 Thread Eric Caron
Hello Hendrik,

There are several apps that will record well for you.  However, if you 
want one that was designed for voice Over users and has additional features for 
organization and easy exchange of the recordings with your computer than I 
would recommend List Recorder.  You will find several tutorials I have done on 
this app at applevis.com or at the List Recorder web site at sixthmode.com.  
This app has a lite version and then a in app purchase for the full version.  
You need the full version to record lectures.  The lite version is to try it 
out and has a 10 second recording limit. 

This is the app I use the most on my iPhone.  It will do much more then 
recording your lectures.

You will also find tutorials on how to use all the features of List Recorder 
both on the app and at the above web site.

Best.

Re: Notes and cloud

2012-05-05 Thread Eric Caron
Dear John André, and other listers,

I combined John André's tips and my use of the Notes app into a 15 
minute podcast.  It lives at applevis.com.  if your interested the link is 
below.

The podcast is a walk through of the native Notes app, shows how to set up 
preferences in mail to use iCloud, and demonstrates moving text from the mac to 
the iPhone and moving it to another app. 
I also use selecting of text and pasting so if you have not tried that 
yet on the iPhone this might also be a helpful part of the podcast.

Digit-Eyes update in the App Store

2012-05-05 Thread Eric Caron
Hi listers,

I'm a recent new user of Digit-Eyes.  I noticed last night that there 
was a update in the app Store.  I tried it out this morning and was very 
pleased with the results.  I can now leave the app and return to it as often as 
needed and each time the scan button is working correctly and ready to go.  In 
the earlier release I had to often quit the app in the App Switcher to get the 
scan button to work again.
This app is rapidly becoming one of my most used appps.  I'm very 
impressed with the quick response to technical and individual needs.

This is the app that among other things lets you scan bar codes to hear what a 
product is, and also print your own labels to mark items with recorded or text 
information.

I noticed there is a new podcast about Digit-Eyes at Applevis.com.


I would recommend updating this App.

Re: Digit-Eyes update in the App Store

2012-05-06 Thread Eric Caron
Hi VaShaun,

Being able to print the labels as we need them and the size we want for 
the cost of the label is a big advantage.  However, it is true that doing this 
the first time alone as a blind user is difficult.  The nice thing is once it 
is set up and you find the labels you like, you are good to go.

Some things I learned as a new user that have been helpful are:

Use Avery labels, others might work but it is another variable I'd rather not 
introduce.

Use labels that start with a 6 like 6570.  This way if you are having trouble 
with your printer you can use another one say a friend or at work.  By starting 
with the number 6 it will not matter if you use a Laser or Ink jet.

As a new user it was easier to start with a label that is as close to square as 
possible.  this es easier to line up the camera.  The 6570 are great for this.

If you do use the long narrow labels consider having a sited person use a paper 
cutter and cut them into strips with the extra white part cut  
 away.  Not only was this easier for me to scan but they fit nicely on smaller 
objects such as tops of medicine bottles.  

This app is working very nicely right now, and from comments from Nancy on this 
list, it is clear it will not only be well supported but continue to develop.
I do enjoy reading how others are using this app and I learn from both your 
successes and difficulties.

Share home made Ring Tones anyone?

2012-05-06 Thread Eric Caron
Hi fellow listers,

Some time ago I started to create my own ring tones.  Sometimes using 
audio from old LP recordings or parts of CDs.  Other times I used sounds from 
objects around my home usually using a Olympus recorder.  Most of these are 
nothing special.  A few came out very nice.  I put together a folder and zipped 
it up and placed it in dropbox.  I'll put the link below in case anyone wants 
to try them out.

If you have created ring tones why not share them? 

I did do a podcast a long time ago that showed how to create reign tones with 
Amadeus Pro.  It is still at blindcooltech.com.  Of course others can share how 
to make tones in other ways including directly on iTunes.

I'm pretty sure you can simply add these to iTunes with the add to iTunes 
command.  that is "command o"  I'm not positive as I always add them to iTunes 
from Amadeus Pro as I make them.

Again these are home made but I thought I'd share. Please share your ring tone 
ideas and examples.  Remember not to share anything copyrighted!

Re: Digit-Eyes update in the App Store

2012-05-06 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Nancy and others,

One thing I noticed about the Torch is that in some apps such as Recognizer the 
torch coming on and off can happen during recording.  I read some posts here 
about listers frustrated that the app would interrupt recording.

Perhaps it would be better to have a button that is pressed that lets you know 
if the torch is on.  Or, just the new setting that allows you to do it manually 
could also indicate the torch status.  this way everyone wins.  You can see the 
torch status, you can turn it off and on, and it is not interrupting your 
recordings.

Once I realized Digit-Eyes was using the torch automatically I was not 
that concerned.  If I wanted the torch to come on I would just cover the camera 
for a moment.  For me that would turn on the Torch automatically.  It stayed on 
if the light conditions required it. 

It is great to see such a solid app get even better.

Headphone remote control reminder needed

2012-05-06 Thread Eric Caron
Hello listers,

For a app I'm helping to beta test I need to understand all the uses of 
the remote that comes on the iPhone headphones.  Here is what I can do with 
them so far.  I'm using the Music app as my practice for now.


I can start and stop play with the middle button.
I can also stop and start play with this button when outside the app.
I can turn the volume up with the upper part of the remote and pressing the 
lower part lowers the volume.

It seems to me I've read somewhere that you can also move back and forth to the 
next song in a list using the remote.  Is this possible?  I know I can shake 
the phone to move to the next song but can the remote go forward and back in 
the play list?  I tried a few things but I could not find the way to do it, if 
it can even be done.

Thanks for any info,  knowing it is not possible is just as helpful as knowing  
if and how it can be done.

thanks.

Re: AirPods and status bar

2017-11-26 Thread Eric Caron
Hi,

I also recently purchased air pods and I often check the battery life 
of the air pods and the case by opening the case near the iPhone.  The 
information pops up when the case is open near the phone and goes away when you 
close the case.

Your main home screen is "2" because the Today screen is "1", flick down with

There is an "Edit" button at the very bottom where you can control which items

Subject: AirPods and status bar

I bit the bullet and bought AirPods from Apple. I see the AirPods connected 
icon in my status bar. However, they only show as connected. Is there a place 
where I can check the battery status on them? I was caught off guard and one 
pod went dead after 2 hours talk. Thank you for anyone who can shed some light 
on this for me.

Hi,

Be sure you don’t press on a button such as Delete notifications in

Re: be my eyes

2015-01-14 Thread Eric Caron
Hi folks,

I’m actually very much looking forward to this app.  I really liked viz 
wiz when it came out because you could ask a question.  i never used tap tap 
see because without the question i rarely got the info I needed.  this model 
sounds great.  there will be challenges for them but  hope to help.  I plan to 
share the info so hopefully others will sign up as sighted helpers.  

It will be interesting to see how this develops. I’m very much looking forward 
to being able to ask a question and in this model ask a follow up question.  no 
more taking a picture of a tire and learning it is a tire.  Now I can actually 
learn the max tire pressure listed on the side wall!  

Eric Caron 
looking forward to this app

Pear note questions

2015-01-23 Thread Eric Caron
Hi folks,

I have Pear Note on my phone and iPad.  It seems Voice Over friendly 
but I’m finding it challenging to figure out how to take notes while recording 
and later have it play back the audio when I’m in the text.

Are there any other folks using Pear note and meeting success?

tips appreciated. 

this would be a useful app in my work.


If someone is really feeling generous I’d love a lesson over Skype or i can 
call in the Us.

Re: List Recorder Full

2015-01-25 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Richard and others,

I would also like to see List recorder continue to evolve.  I’d like to 
see it use iCloud and have the option to sink to multiple devices.

List recorder is still working fine for me and  is one of my most often used 
apps.. but, if people sent feature requests and any fixes they have noticed to 
the developer we might see some nice improvements.  I think Richard is right, 
getting that feedback out there through emails is important.

Re: [Bulk] Be my eyes?

2015-02-12 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Andrew and others,

Another thing to keep in mind is that the app does not activate the 
flash so there needs to be lots of light for the person to see with the camera. 
 I had a person tell me they could not see even though a over head light was 
on.  When I turned on another brighter light they could see and answer my 
questions.

One other tip.  during a call the person said several times, wait a moment the 
image is going to be clearer in a moment.  and sure enough if we waited they 
could then see clearer and read the information I needed.

 the app has worked great for me though i am using a iPhone 6.

Re: Audio Recording Apps

2014-04-05 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Ric and others,

Sorry I am so late returning to this thread.  List Recorder is 
definitely still being developed and supported.  for the app to continue to 
improve I think we simply need to let the developer know what the most 
important features we want are.  I know that she was looking into both Dropbox 
and iCloud as possible areas of improvement or additions.

She can be contacted through the app for support or ideas.  Her 
commitment to the app and the population it is designed for is rock solid. The 
app continues to improve due to user input and support.
I support the app as a volunteer because I rely on it for my work and 
personal productivity. It is available in many languages thanks to volunteer 
translators.  It is a quality professional recording and note taking app that 
is truly driven by user feedback and a respectful drive to make a  valuable app 
for the visually impaired.
  

I have summarized and shared the feedback from this thread.  Don't hesitate to 
email the developer with feedback and feature requests.  The fact that people 
are relying on this app matters to this developer and the team of volunteers.

Eric Caron

Translator app broken in iOS 7.1.1 and a work around

2014-04-25 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Listers,

If like me you are a language learner you might be using the translator 
app by Green Lake Technology.  There are many Translation apps but this one is 
my favorite.  I was sad to find it no longer working after I updated to iOS 
7.1.1.  I wrote to the developer and got a quick response with both a temporary 
work around and a promise that they were working on a permanent fix.

Here is how the app works and how to work around the problem.

In this app you can select two languages.  There are many to pick from 
and you can change then when you need to.  In my case I am using French and 
English.  There are two buttons labeled voice.  the first one is your Left 
language and your second is the right language.  These are set up in settings.  
Normally I would double tap the button and speak a word or sentence.  The app 
would then speak the same word or sentence back in my selected language.  I 
would then often go to the other button and practice my pronunciation until the 
app could give me back the correct words in English.

Once you speak a phrase you can press a button to repeat it  so that you can 
keep listening until you hear it clearly.  the text will also appear on the 
phone in both languages so you can review it with Voice Over commands.
After the update pressing the "Voice button and then talking would only result 
in the app saying "I don't understand what you said."  The solution is to 
quickly tapp the button a second time just as you finish talking.  Doing this 
will cause the app to work normally.  In the past the app  knew you were done 
talking and gave you a verbal and written translation.

I hope this helps other folks using this app for language learning, travel, or 
other uses.

Re: USB FM transmitter that plugs into a car radio

I need to second Richard's comments.  The FM receiver sounds like a great idea 
but I found it very hard to listen to.  I tried two and returned them both. 

I also have a older vehicle and would like a solution but other then replacing

Re: seeking recommendations for accessible in-home mesh network system

2021-01-10 Thread Eric Caron
Yes,

I get software updates on a regular basis. 

I’ve had the Eero system for about 3 months and love it. 
 But, back to the original poster.  I think you would be better off with a 
separate modem and router.  I suspect that if your existing modem is a router 
and modem in one then it is overdue for replacement   Separate units give you 
more flexibility going forward. 

Another note, I was using a time capsule for my router and though old it was 
doing pretty well.  I have however added a lot of wifi devices and it was 
starting to fail.  The new Eero Mesh system was easy to set up and when working 
is rock solid.  Everything works more responsibly and more reliably and covers 
a much larger space.  The three unit system is the one I purchased.  It is 
working well with a two year old Netgear modem.

Re: iphone 8 or XR?

2020-03-17 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Sieghard

I was so happy to get a face recognition iPhone for exactly those 
reasons.  Though my Vermont weather isn’t as bad, the wood working and hard use 
of my hands in projects caused my finger print reader to rarely work.  I was 
often redoing it so it would work for a little while. 

I have found that I can be subtle when opening my iPhone.  As all it 
has to do is sort of see my face and it clicks on.  I have it on the setting 
that doesn’t require eye contact. 

Now if only my talking tape measure and audible level could be controlled by my 
voice that would be great!

Is there a email list for blind wood workers out there!
 Or, maybe those working on vintage cars? 

One more related thing.  I did struggle a little to learn the gestures that 
replace the home key.  I was trying to do them from a podcast description.  It 
took me some practice and I did have some frustration.  But, now I prefer the 
gestures and miss them when using older iPhones.

Aira free to college students for the remainder of the semester.

2020-03-17 Thread Eric Caron

Hi listers,

It is good to be back on list after being away for a few years.  I was 
recently approved and have been enjoying the helpful information.

I’m sure Aira has been discussed in the past.  I wanted to post the below as it 
would be very helpful to current blind college students.  

I just wish they would also offer it to blind teachers as they are also 
learning fast how to run on line teaching. 

Also, if you are planning to join Aira for more than the free 5 minute calls be 
sure to go through a current user so that you both get additional minutes.

Here is the part of the post for college students.

Aira is the popular app that connects a trained sighted person to assist a 
blind person with tasks. 

I am posting part of a email message below that offers free service to 
blind college students for the rest of the semester. 

If you know a student please share as this could be a big help when learning 
new on line distance learning software.  Now if only they offered it to blind 
teachers as well! 

One other note.  If you are thinking about joining Aira go through a current 
blind user and both of you will get free minutes to use.

Eric Caron 

Free Offer - College Students in Need of Aira

We know that many universities and colleges are rapidly shifting to distance 
learning.  We’ve heard that some materials and software being used are 
inaccessible so we will be offering free Aira for any college student for the 
remainder of the spring semester ending in May 2020.  If you know of a student 
who could benefit from Aira for their distance learning, please email 
supp...@aira.io <mailto:supp...@aira.io> for more information

Re: iphone 8 or XR?

2020-03-18 Thread Eric Caron
Yes, 

I set up my thumb, a finger on my right hand and one on my left.  But 
results were very poor.  But than again  When I needed a background check for 
my last job I could not get usable fingerprints.  I went back 5 times.  Finally 
they gave me special status as I had no usable fingerprints.  This was from 
many months of hands on construction on my home restoration.

I liked the idea of the finger print but Face ID is working much better for me. 

I’m now having similar finger print problems on my Mac.  I got it working again 
but then once I started some outdoor projects my hands got rough and it sopped 
working.

Here is hoping for Face ID for my Mac!  Or for using my iPhone to confirm 
identity on my Mac!

Best,

Eric Caron

Mail in Catalina

2020-03-22 Thread Eric Caron
Hi listers,

One thing I have noticed after updating to Catalina is that moving 
messages to a mail box is slow with mail stating busy and then after a pause 
finally opening up the context menu and eventually the list to move to a 
mailbox. 

Does this improve with time?  It has been about a week.  

Have others noticed this behavior?

I do have a lot of accounts and a lot of mailboxes where I organize 
information.  I expect I have a lot more mail than the average user.

Re: Mail in Catalina

Apologies,  I’m having some list difficulty and this was meant for another list.

I’m discussing Mac mail not iOS.

Re: Hygrometer, Talking Unit Found, Info Inside

2020-03-23 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Sieghard,

This is great info.  And, this reminds me of how much I’ve missed by 
being off this list for a extended time.

I’m interested in the full set up but plan to download the app to check it out 
first.  Also, waiting for a sale seems like a very good idea. 

I appreciate the heads up on the mounting issues.  I can prepare in 
advance for locations and materials. 

I look forward to any other user input, but this seems like a great 
addition to my home. 

I do have a Nest thermostat and it gives me inside humidity on the app 
but not through Echo devices.  And outside info is from the web and not very 
consistent to my real situation.

Best,

Eric Caron

Re: How does your Voiceover pronounce yesterday after the iOS 13.4 upgrade?

2020-03-26 Thread Eric Caron
Actually,  With all the stressors going on I have greatly enjoyed this thread 
and seeing how my phone is reacting the same or differently.  And, you never 
know, When Apple solves this it might help in preventing or solving other 
things.

On my 10S running 13.4 I hear the T in Yesterday with the Maile Siri voice and 
not with Alex.  I didn’t look beyond that.  I just enjoyed the curiosity of it.

Please, despite some peoples frustrations keep posting your observations.  

A little light hearted tech conversation is welcome.

Re: Native Mail App Question

2020-03-31 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Danney,

What exactly are you hoping to have happen?  And, do you have access to 
your mail through a computer as well as your iPhone? 

If you want to have messages from a group such as this go to a specific mailbox 
that can be done with mail rules in the mail app on a Mac computer. Thats how I 
sort out several mailing lists. 

I  have done this also in google in the past so I expect most mail 
applications, at least on the computer can do that. 

My iPhone in box seems to be following the rules I set up on my computer.  I 
must admit however that I read most list emails on my computer by going to the 
mail box.  I don’t usually do that on my iPhone.

Still the messages are getting filtered correctly when I check my mail on my 
iPhone.

Re: Native Mail App Question

2020-03-31 Thread Eric Caron
Yes, 

I think there is a way to get to rules in mail.  I don’t remember how I 
did it but I think it is through iCloud on the web.  If one can do that using 
safari through a iOS device then you might be able to set up the mail boxes and 
rules that way.  Certainly not an easy process. 

 I really appreciate the problem solving and info on this list.

Wifi Assist , a tip that might be helpful

2020-04-23 Thread Eric Caron


Hi fellow listers,

I thought I’d share this.  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.  I 
didn’t know wy and it was frustrating.  Once I changed the setting my phone 
stayed on wifi consistently. 

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.

GPS Apps for hiking?

2020-05-07 Thread Eric Caron
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?

Thank you,

I’ll try the near by explorer.  I had the app but never played with it.  I have 
good coverage so I’ll see if the paid version is worth it if it actually is 
useful when hiking. 

I’ve got a lot to learn to see if it is helpful.

If other apps might be more useful send the tips my way.

I’m looking for info on both established trails but also less established ones. 
 And if a iPhone is not as strong as a designated receiver I’m ok with looking 
into that.

Those with experience hiking with GPS, I’m hoping have some good advice to

Re: GPS Apps for hiking?

I’m looking for something that would be useful on say a 100 or 200 mile hike in 
the woods, say At trail.  Either something GPS locations can be added to or if 
possible even have it follow us on a map to indicate if we are on the trail. 

I’m new at this so not sure what is the most helpful.

Re: Need Help with Generating / Finding Audio Labels for Moving Boxes

2020-05-10 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Mark, 

I totally feel your pain.  I really like the Digit-Eyes app but have 
not used it for years because I can’t get the audio labels to work reliably and 
easily. 

I have not found Way Around to be a good solution because the tags need 
to be ordered and they can be expensive when trying to label many items. 
More then that, at least, last time I checked, they were not a audio labeler, 
they only allowed for you to enter text.  I find this very limiting. 

I’m hoping for a better labeling iPhone solution in the future. 

One interesting app you can look at that is free is Navilense.  I hope I 
spelled that correctly.  It was recommended to me as a free audio labeling 
solution.  You print the labels yourself.  You can use the sheets you purchased 
for Digit-Eyes.  They are a unique system designed to work for the visually 
impaired.  I must admit they worked very well for me.  They are designed for 
the phone to pick up the label by the camera and do it easily, quickly and even 
from long distances. 

they just came out with a second pack of free labels.  So perhaps this 
might be a good solution.

I’d love a NFC solution like Way Around to have an audio labeling option and 
maybe an option for use of less expensive third party NFC tags. 

I hope this helps.  Try the Navilense app and let us know how it goes.

Re: Need Help with Generating / Finding Audio Labels for Moving Boxes

2020-05-11 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Tracey, 

Thank you for posting the link.

As the topic has been brought up.  What I’m hoping for is a NFC audio 
tag recorder and reader.  Basically it could use the iPhone to do what the Pen 
friend does without needing a extra device. 

NFC is built into the phone and perfect for this application.  It is the tech 
apple uses for Apple Pay in stores and developers have access to it.

It is what Wayaround uses only they do text only and also use proprietary tags 
instead of mainstream tags.  They also seem to not be interested in adding 
audio recording only text.

I contacted Digit-eyes about this before COVID19 and I thought they 
were considering using it but over two monthss have gone by and I have not 
heard any updates.

I also wrote to Way around twice about 6 months apart asking if they would be 
adding Audio recording.  I didn’t get a response.


NFC Near Field Communication, I believe has the best solution for audio and 
text labeling on the iPhone.  Navilens has the potential to use the camera to 
identify it’s tags at a distance.  This might be also useful but I think more 
so for other applications.  Still, it works quickly and affordably
.

Re: from BlindSquare: COVID-19 Keeping us indoors, with unique opportunities supported by BlindSquare and NaviLens.

2020-05-13 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Richard,

Is Blind Squaire Event basically the same app as Blind Square just free 
until November?  A trial for those that don’t have the app? 

I was wondering if it was different as I have not mastered using it for 
following routes for exploration or for hiking purposes.

Also wondering if it is integrating Navilens or they are still separate apps.

Needed, an app to tell you quickly how fast you are walking

2020-05-27 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Listers,

I need to know if there is an app that tracks your walking speed and 
can tell you how fast you are walking and adjust as you speed up and slow down. 
 It needs to work more quickly than say  Blind square.  

I’m told an app called motion X did this but is no longer available. 

Tips and ideas are greatly appreciated.

Re: iPhone, and Bluetooth issues

2023-06-26 Thread Eric Caron
Hi folks,

I’ve noticed this issue for some time and thought it was just me.  I’ve 
tried all the same steps turning off the phone, turning off bluetooth, emptying 
the app switcher. 
I tried it with different devices connected and disconnected to the 
phone.  I mostly notice the problem when on phone calls.  I miss sections of 
speech.  I also have hearing aids and they are loosing the connection in 
different ears at different times.  Same issues with aftershocks and Bose 
glasses.

I think it also happens when phone is in speaker mode but it is less 
noticeable.  I could turn off bluetooth for calls but I have a medical device 
connected so prefer not to do that. 
 Anyone come up with a solution?
I’m running a iPhone 10S with 16.5.1.

I’ve had this happen before. 

Sometimes fixed by asking Siri to turn VO off and on again.

Also sometimes fixed by turning up volume after doing something like a double 
finger swipe down to activate the VO voice so it is talking while I increase 
volume. 

Best of luck

Hi Barbra,

You may want to double check the head sets.  The latest Bard mobil app is

Re: BARDMobile app and bluetooth headphones that are not made by Apple

2024-09-08 Thread Eric Caron
Personally I have a huge problem with this bug.  I know that many users are not 
as lucky as Josh and report that they can’t use their headsets.  I don’t think 
this app with the bug should have replaced the Bard mobil app until it was 
fixed.

It has been found that it relates to the speed setting on the app.  
Make the speed normal and many head sets work.  But, many of us read books at 
speeds far beyond the normal, setting. 

This is a costly bug as I expect many folks are looking for headsets to 
purchase that work, when we really don’t need another expensive headset.

Re: BARDMobile app and bluetooth headphones that are not made by Apple

2024-09-08 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Richard,

The bug was well reported to NLS during the Beta process.  I was on the 
Beta test group.  I was surprised Bard put in the app with the known bug.  I 
personally think they should have waited until it was fixed.

Just after that I think one of the beta testers realized that, at least in most 
cases, the head sets would work if the speed was set to 100 percent, or normal. 
 I never use normal unless it is a language or music lesson.  Apparently this 
was true of the other Beta testers as none of us caught it for some time. 

I would hope with the early knowledge of the bug, and now this additional info 
it can be resolved. 

In the meantime does anyone know if the latest Metta Ray Bands work with Bard 
when in faster speeds?

Eric Caron

Re: ring doorbell

I just received a email from ring that a new version of the battery Doorbell is 
now available.  That would be a good place to start.  But if you have wiring 
for an old doorbell you can use a wired version and that would be nice as well.

Re: Bluetooth and MFI hearing aids.

2024-09-24 Thread Eric Caron
This may not be your hearing aids.

Using different bluetooth devices I’m told now and then I can’t be 
heard on a call.  Turning off bluetooth and talking on the phone directly fixes 
it.  The problem is not consistent on the bluetooth devices.  It happens often 
with my aftershocks. 

Usually my hearing aids do work with bluetooth on as long as other headsets are 
not connected.

Re: Walmart f...

2024-10-01 Thread Eric Caron
Please, can we have some basic language respect on the list?

I use talking software and do not like this unexpected language 
blasting out of my computer or phone. 

I first thought the subject was a spam message and was sad to see this is now 
where our list has degraded to.

I hope we can agree to use respectful language going forward. 

If one needs to express that a app is broken that can be done creatively, and 
helpfully with other words.

Best.
