From Jenine Stanley:

Oh can I relate to Buddy’s Pro Tip for those of us who find ourselves straddling both worlds.

My work laptop is a Windows machine and it’s good for what it does, sort of, but I’m really enjoying most of my leisure and home chores on my MacBook Pro.

Nope, those Mac commands do not work in Windows and sometimes they do very bad things to your work. I recently went all the way to getting a trouble ticket written for a problem I was having. When I talked to the tech at the outside support service, he asked me for exact steps. I told him and he laughed, in that way you know you’re not supposed to do but …

“Ma’am, that’s a Mac command. Do you use a Mac at home?”

“Uh, yeah, I do. thanks. I’m going to just dig a big ole hole now.”

And yes, Alena, I was taught way back when to start with any new program by exploring the menu system. See what it offers and how to do those things. It’s held me in good stead for many years, many more than I care to think about.

And Buddy, evil as you are, I’m with ya in the playing pranks on the computer teacher. Of course we’d just gotten the IBM Selectric typewriters when I was in high school and the Trash 80 computers didn’t come out until a couple years later. I had my fun at work.

We set up the old DOS machines we had so that the screen came up with a red background and red letters. Then I did a whole demo on some aspect of accessibility. Then I got called into my boss’s office to hear how that wasn’t funny. Made my point though.

Oh and you could indeed set up some key commands, like hot keys, outside of the screen reader, for Windows and more for DOS. Could I remember how to do it now? No, but I had a couple cool ones back in the day.

Blog comment from Jesse

There seems to be a lot of wining about a larger iPhone screen in recent episodes. True, some people don’t want larger screens and that’s fine. But there are many blind and low vision users, low vision users especially, who are really looking forward to a larger iPhone, myself included. I have looked at several Android phones with larger screens, and would love to have an iPhone with these types of screens.

Simply getting an iPad Mini isn’t a good solution either, for a couple of reasons. first, as a low vision user, I use the camera in my phone all the time. The camera in all iPad models isn’t as good, and for some reason, Apple has yet to add a camera flash, making many camera apps on the iPads rather pointless. I use my phone as a portable CCTV all the time and absolutely love it. A little larger screen would be very helpful, and when combined with a more open camera for developers, will make the iPhone even more comparable to dedicated handheld CCTV’s.

Also, I use data everywhere on my phone, and don’t intend to pay for an expanded data plan to have data on my iPad. I’m fine with a Wi-Fi only iPad for now.

These are just my thoughts though. I say, “Bring on the bigger phone.”

Otherwise, I love the podcast, and keep up the great work.

From Beth

Hi, I was introduced to the slate and stylus in mid elementary school but I tended toward wrist rolling and hand pain when using it and, since I was adept at the Perkins Brailler, I did not persevere with the slate and haven’t since, with no desire to. I have no need to write stuff down when I’m out and I use the Perkins and the PC at home. I was fortunate to have parents and teachers who took my individual needs into account. I wonder about the wisdom of teaching screen readers at a very young age. Computers and phones are more intuitive if you have vision, since direct action can be done with the mouse or touch screen.
Screen readers place a bridge of gestures and/or keyboard commands between the user and the device. Yes, very young kids’ brains are pliable and can soak up knowledge well but should so much info be thrown at such a young brain? Also, who will have or take the time to teach a very young child a screen reader? Most kids now are in homes where both parents work and, in general, parents do not have the time, energy or enthusiasm to learn a screen reader themselves, let alone teach it. We don’t have the resources to have that many teachers of the visually impaired to teach that many kids. Beth

The Triple-click Home team has been super busy this summer, so we decided to give them a bit of a vacation–well, most of them, anyway. Jamie and Buddy decided to change up the podcast a bit this month, and the rest of the gang agreed.

This time around, Jamie Pauls takes a few minutes to demonstrate our shiny new version of iBlink Radio for the Mac.

Lisa shows us how to use Fantastical 2, a calendar for iOS that meets her specific needs in a way that the native calendar does not.

Finally, Jamie interviews the developers of Crossly, a crossword puzzle game for iOS that many in the blind community are enjoying.

Next time around, the team hopes to be able to talk about all the cool stuff Apple plans to release this year. That should make for a full show, indeed and we will include your feedback as well. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer!

From Greg:

Hello all,

You guys have really out done yourselves this year. I nearly fell off my couch when I started listening to That Android Show and Triple Click Home. These are really some of the best shows you guys and gals have done. Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

Greg Wocher(Your friendly neighborhood BlindMan) 🙂

From Tony:

What a great job on episode28, lots of voices, snappy pace, and what made the episode for me were the drop INS. The app demonstrations are a great addition, and the app developer interview was so relevant. My hope is that this is the trend.

All the best,

Tony

Another from Tony:

Would you please consider discussing what closing an app really means? For instance, why is it that when I close Pandora, TuneIn, Hourly News, and other audio apps, once closed through the App Switcher, if I do a double finger double tap, audio resumes. Are the apps closed or just resting? Are they eating up battery life? Why bother closing them? If they have a stop button, isn’t that as effective as closing them? Doesn’t seem so. The only way I find to really put them to sleep is by turning off my phone. What’s up with that?

Thanks,

Tony

From Jenine:

Very nice guest hosts of TCH this time and love the app demos from Steve and Ana. Those are a fun addition and I grabbed Google Search which I wasn’t using and learned more about Google Maps which I was using but not lately.

OK, so do you guys have any un-fun hosts at Serotalk? 🙂

Hi Guys!

Episode 27 was a pleasure to listen to, as usual.
I would like to comment on a few points from the episode

• Subsidized phones are available in other countries outside the US. As buddy said, they are available in the UK. They are also available in Germany, Ireland

and other countries. My sister in Germany started a new bill contract recently: 30 euros per month = 40 dollars, for 200 minutes and texts to any mobile

network and landlines, 300 MB of data and the iPhone 5C for the equivalent of 1.35 Dollars.
My contract here in Ireland costs me the equivalent of 55 dollars per month, 350 flexible units, i.e. 350 minutes or 700 text messages to any network,

unlimited calls and messages to my own network, 2 Terabytes – yes, I said Terabytes, of data and the iPhone 5S for the equivalent of 199 Dollars.
Not bad at all!
One point which really surprised me in the episode was the comment about paying for incoming calls. Do you have to pay for incoming calls in the USA? The

only time I have had to pay for incoming calls was when I was abroad with a previous SIM card.

• Reading Marco’s article about switching back to Windows and the reactions to it are very interesting from a social perspective. There are the Windows users

who say: Ha, I knew it all along! Then there are the Mac users who say: don’t he dare point out imperfections in Macs! And then there are the Mac users who

say: I know what he means, but now I’m stuck with this thing.
I agree with Marco in his comment about the way Apple deals with reports and requests. Most replies I have got from Accessibility@Apple.com read something

like: “thank you for your interest. We will pass it on to the appropriate people, but we don’t know when and whether this will be fixed.” I have got some

very helpful personal emails but the majority read like templates. This, however, is no Apple speciality. I heard from a number of beta testers that Apple

knew about VoiceOver’s “Page-2 Issue” at a very early beta stage. It still has not been fixed, and this is frustrating.
One point in Marco’s article with which I do not agree at all is the criticism of the object interaction. One person said in the comment section that they

can’t use their Mac one-handed. I do not understand this. I work with quickNavigation and the TrackPad and can operate my MacBook Air quite well while

holding a cup of coffee in my left hand. This comment brought back memories of several installations using JAWS – routing teh JAWS cursor to the PC cursor

which does not move any further, then looking for my “Next” button with the JAWS cursor, then route the PC cursor to the JAWS cursor and activate the item.

And how many fingers on how many hands does it take to turn on the virtual cursor on a webpage? NVDA, too, requires at least two fingers on at least two

hands to navigate.
I think that the whole interaction argument is rubbish. I like interaction and think that I am much quicker than I am in Windows. However, this is all a

matter of taste.
I knew when I bought my Mac one year ago that I would need my Windows laptop for some tasks. Most of those tasks have now been moved to the Mac. I am a

researcher in phonetics and phonology and use symbols of the phonetic alphabet and am happy that voiceOver does not only read them but that I can access them

so easily on the standard keyboard. Great job, Apple!

Looking forward to your next episode! All the best and greetings from Ireland.

Hi Guys,

You talked about Spotify in this episode and that it is possible to listen to individual songs on the iPad but not on the iPhone. this is not a bug but is

advertized by spotify. I have heard in one of their ads “If you want to listen to individual songs, you can do this on your iPad.” or something like that.

‘JustSaying

all the best. Markus

From Jenine Stanley

Hmmm, I’m thinking this long winter has gotten to all of us. Listening to the February TCH, or Episode 27, whichever you choose to refer to it, you all

sounded just a tad worked up about life.

Granted, I pride myself in being just as cynical and jaded as you all, I have to say that you took it just a bit too far this time.

What Jenine? You, the Serotalk Fan Girl, saying we took it a bit too far? Whatever could you mean?

Well, in the discussion of the article about switching back to Windows, the whole issue of interaction under Mac’s Voice Over went to the dark side. You doth

protest too much.

My biggest adjustment when moving from Windows to Mac was the whole idea of interaction. I get the whole moving from a larger to a smaller thing but we move

from larger to smaller in IOS and don’t have the need to take this extra step. It’s just that too, an extra step. What would Mac VO look like if it operated

like VO does in IOS? I think that’s what many of us new to Mac but coming from IOS on our phones are thinking and becoming frustrated with.

The way you all were ranting though made it sound like we were unworthy for even thinking this way. It really would have turned me off on asking for help had

I not known that you guys are among some of the most helpful people out there when it comes to the switch. There was way too much justification of the method

for me and not enough empathy about yes, this is different and there may be some questions at first if you come from IOS world to Mac as many of us are

doing.

I’ve made the change over to Mac and am quite happy not to have my screen reader stopping at least twice a day in the middle of something and all the other

nice things that come with Mac. Do I like interaction? Truth? I don’t mind it now but do wish I could just explore the entire screen at once without having

to go in and out of interactions. that said, I do it because it’s there and things work but does that have to be the perfect way to do things?

Oh and I totally agree with you about the whole “God Bless you” thing and all interactions, human ones that is, being about the dog.

My answer to these people is usually to reflect back their attitude of benevelance by just saying “You too!” when being blessed.

Oh, all sorts of snark come to mind but in most cases, unless truly pushed, I’ll try to be nice. I have a dear friend who is an atheist. This kind of thing

just sends her around the bend because she feels she can’t ever argue and say that she is offended by being blessed but can’t say that because it will only

open up another avenue for evangelizing.

Well, let’s hope March brings us some interesting Apple news that doesn’t involve brow beating each other. 🙂 Keep up the good work.
Jenine Stanley

During the podcast I think it was Buddy who stated that it is impossible to turn off Zoom while VoiceOver is turned on. This is not true. I’m a low vision IOS user and often use VoiceOver in combination with Zoom. When Zoom is turned on, double tapping 3 fingers becomes the Zoom toggle. and triple tapping 3 fingers becomes the VoiceOver toggle.

Hello,
This is for the Triple Click Home team.
Perhaps you guys can cover this in the mail bag for the next podcast.
For those of you that are using Mail in standard view, with organize by conversation
enabled, in messages that contain original messages part of a reply, and it says
“see more from sender”. When you activate the link with Control+Option+Space, have
you guys found Voice Over does not do anything when you press the up and down arrow
keys after expanding the rest of the conversation?
Thank you,

Ali Moosa

Hello there!
As always, I was looking forward to the new episode, and, as always, you did not
disappoint me. It was a pleasure to listen to it! 🙂
• I have got very little problems with TouchID on my new 5S. Actually, when I first
set it up, I didn|t have much time to listen to all the instructions and saved one
finger print with three different fingers / right thumb and index finger when holding
iPhone in left hand and left thumb when holding iPhone in right hand. this worked
although I saved it as one finger print.
I did delete it in the meantime and saved the three digits in three finger prints.
😉
• A few days ago, you retweeted a review of Open Office – was it a CNet article_
I think it was.
Has anybody tested Open Office for its accessibility recently? I remember that this
wasn’t too good a while back. Have there been improvements? I am in the middle of
writing my PhD and don’t have much time to play around with office suites. It was
time-consuming and therefore annoying enough that I had to convert a few work-in-progress
documents from RTF to docx. Aaargh!
• quite a large number of people are looking forward to getting RTF back in Pages.
Me too! However, is there a risk that the navigability of tables in Pages is going
to go again, at least in RTF format?
• One last question for now to you and your listeners, a question for which I have
not yet got an answer from Apple nor from an Apple accessibility mailing list in
which I am active:
For links in emails and on websites we can adjust in the VoiceOver settings how they
are announced. That’s fine. Nonetheless, when there is a link in an email and I arrow-key
my way into it, VoiceOver says: “web url detected” – with a voice as if she was breathing
through a helium balloon. There must be a separate setting for this as the verbosity
settings in the VoiceOver Utility don’t seem to have an effect on this phenomenon.
any ideas?
That’s it from me. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season.

Greetings from Ireland,

Markus

Hi, it’s me again!
I want to share this with you, but the other email would have got too long, so I
post it here.
I reported the accessibility issues in the file export menu in Pages to Apple Accessibility
and got the following…personal!…response, not the standard template. 😉
In the meantime we can explain the dialog box to allow you to complete the process.
In the Pages File Menu, if you selected Word, then Word is automatically selected
in the export dialog.
If, at that point, you press Enter, then you will be taken to the Save as Dialog
box to choose where you want to save the exported file. The file will export as a
word doc with the default settings of
a) No password required to open the file and
b) Using the .docx format instead of the older .doc ( Word 1997-2003) compatible
format.
If instead you chose PDF in the Export Menu, then the dialog box will default to
PDF as the exported filed type. Pressing Enter will again then take you to the Save
as dialog box with the pre-determined
settings of Good Image quality and no password required to open the file.
If you choose to move within the dialog box, there are 5 tabbed areas: PDF, Word,
Plain Text, ePub, and Pages ’09. These are the 5 Unknown labels you are hearing.
Each has some further text or options associated with each option:
Under PDF, the text reads;
“To Change PDF layout settings, Choose File > Print.”
The PDF options are;
Image Quality: with a pull down menu for Good, Better, or Best. The default is good.
And a check box for Require password to open. The default is unchecked.
Under Word, the options are;
Require password to open check box
and a disclosure triangle revealing the format options pull down menu of .docx or
.doc
.docx is the default choice.
Under Plain Text there is only the text;
Create a plain text document that includes only body text without formatting.
Under ePub, the options are;
Three text boxes including Title, Author and Primary Category
and a disclosure triangle revealing an additional text box for Language
as well as a check box for Use the first page as the book cover image. The default
is unchecked.
Under Pages ’09;
The only option is the Require password to open check box.
The default is an unchecked check box.

When you activate the link with Control+Option+Space, have you guys found Voice Over does not do anything when you press the up and down arrow keys after expanding the rest of the conversation? Thank you, Ali Moosa Hello there! As always, I was looking forward to the new episode, and, as always, you did not disappoint me. It was a pleasure to listen to it! :) • I have got very little problems with TouchID on my new 5S. Actually, when I first set it up, I didn|t have much time to listen to all the instructions and saved one finger print with three different fingers / right thumb and index finger when holding iPhone in left hand and left thumb when holding iPhone in right hand. this worked although I saved it as one finger print. I did delete it in the meantime and saved the three digits in three finger prints. ;) • A few days ago, you retweeted a review of Open Office - was it a CNet article_ I think it was. Has anybody tested Open Office for its accessibility recently? I remember that this wasn’t too good a while back. Have there been improvements? I am in the middle of writing my PhD and don’t have much time to play around with office suites. It was time-consuming and therefore annoying enough that I had to convert a few work-in-progress documents from RTF to docx. Aaargh! • quite a large number of people are looking forward to getting RTF back in Pages. Me too! However, is there a risk that the navigability of tables in Pages is going to go again, at least in RTF format? • One last question for now to you and your listeners, a question for which I have not yet got an answer from Apple nor from an Apple accessibility mailing list in which I am active: For links in emails and on websites we can adjust in the VoiceOver settings how they are announced. That’s fine. Nonetheless, when there is a link in an email and I arrow-key my way into it, VoiceOver says: “web url detected” - with a voice as if she was breathing through a helium balloon. There must be a separate setting for this as the verbosity settings in the VoiceOver Utility don’t seem to have an effect on this phenomenon. any ideas? That’s it from me. 3CH clean 2:01:53 Triple-click Home Episode 24: Luxury Versus Necessity /2013/11/27/triple-click-home-episode-24-luxury-versus-necessity/ /2013/11/27/triple-click-home-episode-24-luxury-versus-necessity/#comments Wed, 27 Nov 2013 23:33:45 +0000 /?p=268 Listen to Triple-click Home episode 24: Luxury Versus Necessity

Dear Triple-click Home Team,

I am a vision impaired university student and would like to share my experience with using Windows on my MacBook Pro. For the most part Windows 7 runs the best I’ve ever seen it run on any computer, probably because it’s running on a Mac! I use both Boot Camp and VMWare Fusion 4 when working in the Windows environment when I have to. I only need to run Windows in the first place because of my Transformer, long/short distance viewer.

One thing I would like to note about running Windows on a Mac is that a Mac battery, 7 hours, will be cut down to a Windows battery, 2-3 hours when running Windows on a Mac laptop. Of course one wouldn’t have to worry about battery life reduction when running Windows on a desktop Mac, but because I am a student, I need to be mobile.

One last thing I would like to note is that even when running Windows directly via Boot Camp, my MacBook Pro really heats up more than it would ever when using the Mac side of the computer – probably due to the intense graphics processing and operating system structure. Also, I noticed a few times last year that I got the Blue Screen of Death when directly running Windows. So i have to be careful not to put it to sleep to often when in the Windows environment, especially when I’m just seconds away from needing to use it in class.

Overall, in my opinion, I believe Apple handles the Windows environment really well and just to know when one wants to use the Windows environment, their going to get a Windows environment.

I would greatly appreciate it, and even more important, I believe a brief summary of this email would be good to include in the next Triple-click Home podcast for others to take note of.

What should you do while you’re waiting for your i-device to update to iOS 7? Should you bite your fingernails? Repeatedly swipe your phone in hopes that Voiceover will give you some sort of a progress indicator? Why not listen to the latest episode of the Triple-click Home podcast? This month, Alena, Buddy, John, Derek and Jamie all weigh in with their thoughts on the iPhone 5c and 5s as well as iOS 7. Also, Alena Roberts interviews Jonathan Mosen about his new book, iOS 7 Without the Eye. Jonathan and Alena don’t just talk about the book, though. They discuss the state of accessibility in all of Apple’s products and even talk a bit about Android. Yes, you read that right–a discussion of Android on an episode of Triple-click Home. So sit back, don’t touch your i-device while it’s updating, and enjoy the podcast.

Thanks.

The team has some great answers to this question so be sure to listen.

Regarding last month’s exploding phone article, regular contributor Jenine Stanley writes:

Funny that you should mention this book. As I download it to read, I asked my dear spouse if I’d see his name in it.

He worked for AT&T for over 35 years and was on the team that chased down some of the phone freaks during their heyday.

He was also on a team of inside hackers who got to try to break things for a living within The Phone Company.

He tells me that the recent revelations regarding NSA are nothing new at all. And that’s all he can tell me as he’s still under certain orders never to talk about what his team did.

He will tell you though that his time on those projects was a geek’s dream.

Hi folks,
Thanks again for another very informative & witty podcast.
You all could form the Blind Tech Comedy club.
I have to tell you of my mac transition.
My Mother passed away 2 years ago, June 30. I wanted a diversion & a new computer. I got tired of all of the SMA upgrades. Therefore, it left me with the concept of learning to use the Mac OS. NOt only was I learning a new OS, I was learning a new screen reader. Originally, I paid the $99 for the one on one instruction through the apple store. I found the noise & lack of knowledge by the in store trainers discouraging until I met a lady who introduced me to macvisionaries. Between macvisionaries & Iblink radio, I have gotten more information than I could have ever paid for.
As you were talking about your first experience with a screen reader, I have to relay my own experience. I started with DOS 5.0 & found a shareware program called BPop. It was not a fully functional screen magnifier. It would allow me to engage it after I had typed something in order to proofread it. If I had made a mistake, I had to count spaces & lines in order to correct it.
Living in Florida at the time, I was in a close proximity to what was then Henter Joyce in St. Petersburg Florida. I actually met Ted Henter. I found within my budget through considerable cutbacks at the time the $295 to purchase Magic 1.27. It magnified my DOS screen & brought Windows 3.1 in 2x mode. I also received training through the state of Florida on the Vert screen reader along with word perfect 5.1.
Fast forwarding to today, I still have my windows computer yet pull out my mac for everything.
I am by no means an expert, yet am proficient enough to do what I need to do & am very satisfied with my decision to learn the Mac OS.
Like Jamie, I too, am a manual reader. I try to absorb what my given appliance or piece of electronics will do like a sponge. All of the resources you listed are very much appreciated. Your work does not go for naught. I also have a suggestion. Is it possible to take topics from the mac visionaries list with the most responses & expound on the subject matter? Some of them are very lengthy, yet very informational. I don’t read everything primarily, because I don’t have the time to read email all day. However, I find their listers very helpful & interactive.
The applevis site is also a good resource, however, I find some on that site who whine if something isn’t handed to them. Thank you also for your interview with the gentleman dealing with the Earl app. I am not necessarily one who believes everything needs to be free, however, I am tentative to subscribe to their service without knowing how viable they will be. I see their monthly price point to be very affordable, yet my Kansas City paper is not part of their content due to their web subscription policy. I do use newsline & am glad to see a for profit company give them direct competition while making it safe for those who spend a lot of time commuting.
It sounds as if they are following the model of Flexy, using the blind community as a means to test their app & service, yet eventually marketing to everyone.
We have come an extremely long ways from the specialized equipment costing several thousand dollars to main stream technology accessible to everyone.
Thank all of you for your tireless efforts & your dedication to making the world we live in technologically easier to live with.
Sincerely,

Pamela J Francis

Hello Tripple Click Home.
I love reading about my phone but was disappointed that you were not thrilled as I was by the new App Braille Touch. I have trouble writing with Flexy and find Braille Touch so exciting. I can text away and bore more people more easily.

Email from Chelsea Cook

Hi Happy Apple People,

Love the way you guys have developed the Triple Click Home podcast. I had a quick question about backing up my Mac. The idea of bootable backups intrigues me, and the two most talked-about programs for accomplishing this are super duper and Carbon Copy Cloner. I used CCC for awhile, but missed the donation window and am trying to decide between the two. What do you guys use, and what are your recommendations?

Chelsea

Email from Jenine Stanley

Excellent interview with the developer of TapTap See.

I downloaded the product in its first version and haven’t really played much with it. The one thing I want to try though when traveling is to see if it can recognize individual buttons on a soda machine. Granted, there are some standard layouts but it would be nice to learn about a machine, especially if I’m spending time in a location and using the machine a lot.

I’ll be interested to hear if anyone has tried this and will let you all know if it works when I travel next week.

This month’s email is from Jenine Stanley. She writes:

Hi Guys,

Loved the 12th podcast. I have a couple recommendations for you for apps.

In the time killing games department, I am addicted to 7 Little words.

Sorry, don’t know how much this one costs but you get a daily free puzzle Plus one puzzle zone, 50 puzzles, for free when you start the game.

In this game you have 7 clues and set of letters that form the words to answer the clues.

You must put together the combinations of letters by double tapping on them in order.

So, let’s say you have a clue that reads like:

1. First meal of the day

9 letters

Your choices of letters displayed below all of the 7 clues might be something like:

BR EXE SUB EA JUN KFA ING ST

You would then double tap on BR first then EAC and so on until BREAKFAST is displayed.

You can check which groups of letters you’ve chosen, erase the entire group and get hints.

Your first 15 hints are free. Then you can buy unlimited hints for $1.99.

The entire game, save for one or two buttons is accessible and the unlabeled buttons are easy enough to figure out in context and label. All of the game features are  accessible.

You can earn bonus puzzle zones by completing zones you buy. Buy X number and earn 1 free zone.

On the practical side, I love the app Transit Times. It has the Central Ohio transit authority in it so I can stand at any point in the Columbus metro area and learn what buses come near me, what the nearest stop is to me and when the next bus is supposed to be there. It seems to actually work in real time too with the bus company data. I live along a route with multiple buses and often use other routes with multiple buses so this app is really nice.

It’s completely accessible but does take some getting used to. For example, it’s not really designed to give you the automatic next bus kind of data.

You have to go a couple screens in to get that for your real-time location.

It would be nice to have this as an option on the home screen.

It is designed to give you time tables and other scheduling info and is supposed to help you plan routes with multiple buses. I haven’t gotten that part to work quite the way I’d expected yet, but it you want to know when the next bus is scheduled at your stop, this is a great app.

Finally, for the ladies, although this might come too late for the holidays,

31 Products has a wrist purse that can hold your I-Phone and a lot more.

It’s a nice size little purse that can fit in a coat pocket. You can put your phone in the outside pocket if it has a regular case or inside if it has say an Otterbox defender case as mine does. The inside option is good because it has an adjustable zipper so you can attach the headphones if necessary and control your phone that way without taking it out of your purse.

The wallet part has a zipper pouch, places for credit and business cards and another pocket for change and such It also has a front pocket for your bus ID and other cards you need to get quickly.

I want to say I got it for around $30.00 and it’s available from anyone who is a 31 Products dealer, and trust me, there are lots of blind people out there who are. 🙂

Keep up the great shows guys!

Mailbag

Dave from Ireland:

Hi folks,

Another great episode of 3CH, thanks. I just thought I’d respond to a couple of things

from the mailbag section.

1. The guy with the crashing App Store.

As you said, he didn’t mention which device he’s using. However I have had this issue

on my 3rd Generation iPad. As you know, the App Store has several tabs at the bottom

of the screen, and when you open it, it opens into whichever tab it was in when you

last closed it. The crash happens when the selected tab it is trying to open into

is Top Charts. So I have trained myself to remember to put it in any other tab whenever

I’m closing the App Store.

The only way to open the App Store in this situation seems to be to turn off VoiceOver,

open the App Store, and then turn VoiceOver back on again.

I have emailed Apple about it and they replied to say they are aware of it.

2. Actions Menu.

I’ve heard and read a lot of people talking about how you can go to the Actions menu

to delete mail etc. by finding Actions in the rotor. I’ve noticed that a lot of people

don’t seem to realise that when you’re in your inbox, the rotor goes automatically

to Actions, so you don’t have to find it in the rotor, you just have to flick down

when on the message you want to delete.

I’m sure a lot of people know this, but I just think it’s a tip worth mentioning

as I’ve heard a lot of people saying to go through the rotor.

As for text messages etc. being read out in a voice like the sender’s, this frightens

the life out of me, lol. Have you heard the Irish voice, Maire, she’s absolutely

awful!!

Keep up the good work.

Blog comment from Kathy Blackburn:

Dear 3ch Team:

I’m writing in response to your advice to hard reset the iPhone by holding down the

home button and the sleep button. Up until IOS Version 6, hard reset was harmless.

With the introduction of Version 6, however, a hard reset results in the loss of

VoiceOver, and the only way to get it back is to connect your phone to a computer

to turn VoiceOver on in iTunes.  I emailed accessibility@apple.com, and they are

convinced that this is not a bug, that this is what is supposed to happen.  So I

no longer re-boot my phone this way.

Wrapping Up

AT&T expands FaceTime to individual iOS device users on LTE

Massachusetts rail commuters can now use smartphones instead of tickets to ride

Speaking of John, he spent part of his birthday recording this month’s show. Now, that’s what we call dedication! Jamie Pauls drops by with a quick review of the AccessWorld app for your iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Along with Jamie’s review, here are the stories discussed in this month’s episode:

Apple introduces new 13-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display

Mac Mini updated in two new flavors, at $599 for i5 dual-core and $999 for i7 quad-core server m

Hands on: Apple updates iMac with gorgeous new display
