Hi Jonathon, I pressed the play button from your link, but nothing played. It acted like it was playing but there was nothing.

From the iTunes page you linked to, it looks like the app has a widget, which I have not yet seen in a transit app. Also, if the stop notification is good giving you enough warning of the pending stop, and not alerting you to the stop when you pull up to it, then that would be awesome. I'm not asking for much here, grin. iMove did this a lot to me, even if I set the alert distance to the most, I nearly always got the alert when we pulled up.

This is just one more tool to tuck away in our bag of tricks when we need screen reading done on a locked device in an app not supporting this. I wanted to comment on an issue I experienced after following your demo and testing the speak screen feature. I opened an iBook and Alex started reading just as in your demo when I asked Siri to "speak screen". I then decided I wanted Australian Karen as my screen speaking voice so went through the steps to select her. When I asked Siri to speak screen after this change, VoiceOver would read the page number footer of the iBook and nothing else. This was done with my VO default voice and not Karen. I tried to change back to Alex and to my default Samantha but kept getting the same issue. I finally did a hard reset of my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 and this corrected the problem. Something else I noted is that the screen speaking voice sounds slightly different than with VoiceOver and its volume is louder on my iPhone. These are minor differences and the minimize volume button on my earpods let me set the volume where I wanted it. Thanks again for this great tip.

Infect, I think it's where the app works best. Egun On, Lagunak!

There may not be too many benefits in using it with Kindle if you can't lock your screen, other perhaps than it's not going to be interrupted when you get a notification which I guess is still pretty cool.

They were both speaking at the same time without any issues, too; I was just reading along as happy as could be (I can't wait to do it again later!) Jane Regina Alvarado <reggie.alvar...@gmail.com <mailto:reggie.alvar...@gmail.com> >: Feb 25 05:11PM -0500 Anyone testing screen reader: I touched the status bar and then swiped down with 2 fingers. The voice that came on was Karen I think. Can I change the voice to the IOS voice or even Alex? Does this work all over? I used for email so far, but I think it would be great for kindle books or iBooks because it seems louder than the default. By the way, what is the difference between this mode of reading and just swiping down on the screen. I tried to hear the podcast but could not. Might be a great podcast for applevis. I sure didn't know about this. reggie and Allegra On Feb 25, 2015, at 12:07 PM, Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com <mailto:wale...@gmail.com> > wrote: Jonathan, Thanks so much for this excellent tip and audio demo. This is just one more tool to tuck away in our bag of tricks when we need screen reading done on a locked device in an app not supporting this. I wanted to comment on an issue I experienced after following your demo and testing the speak screen feature. I opened an iBook and Alex started reading just as in your demo when I asked Siri to "speak screen". I then decided I wanted Australian Karen as my screen speaking voice so went through the steps to select her. When I asked Siri to speak screen after this change, VoiceOver would read the page number footer of the iBook and nothing else. This was done with my VO default voice and not Karen. I tried to change back to Alex and to my default Samantha but kept getting the same issue. I finally did a hard reset of my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1.3 and this corrected the problem. Something else I noted is that the screen speaking voice sounds slightly different than with VoiceOver and its volume is louder on my iPhone. These are minor differences and the minimize volume button on my earpods let me set the volume where I wanted it. Thanks again for this great tip.

He was getting frustrated with not having a method to listen to iBooks without locking the screen and without notifications interrupting the book. After I showed him how this was possible using the speak screen feature, he suggested I do an audio presentation about this for others who didn't know about this iOS 8 benefit. A lot of VoiceOver users think that Speak Screen has no benefits for them, but it's a great feature. Here's my demo. https://audioboom.com/boos/2927053-ios-8-s-speak-screen-feature-listen-to-ibooks-with-your-screen-locked-and-more Jonathan Mosen Mosen Consulting Blindness technology eBooks, tutorials and training http://Mosen.org -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

It seems like a great application so thought I'd share. As always, follow me to get tech tips and updates. Happy hump day. The PetWise app is like having the veterinary clinic in your back pocket. Not only can you view your veterinarian’s location, phone number, you can also check all of your pet’s medical information while on the go. The app is always up-to-date with information straight from the medical records at your vet. You can send appointment and boarding requests, ask for prescription refills, or update the picture of your pet. You can even help with your pet’s diagnosis by uploading a video to the clinic ahead of time. Help your pet live a healthier life, get the PetWise app! With the PetWise app you can: • Access clinic’s contact information • Get a map to all clinic locations • Communicate with your vet using email, photos and video • Get reminders of upcoming pet health issues • Verify your pet’s vaccinations and medications • Schedule appointments and boarding • Request medication refills • See your pet’s entire medical history The PetWise app works with your veterinarian's PetWise website to synchronize your pet's health information. To get started there are some prerequisites : 1. Your veterinarian must be signed up with the “Community” version of PetWise. 2. Your veterinarian must set up a PetWise account for you on their website. To synch your pet health information change the settings to use your email address & password that is on file with your veterinarian, and the clinic's website (domain). The Upload Images setting enables synching the picture you assign your pet on the mobile device with the photo at the clinic.
