Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread Eric Oyen
Problem is that the captcha malfunction has even happened inside the amazon app 
itself (tried today after getting account services to release the security 
lockout on my account, only to face the captcha and then run into the 
“non-existent” page issue when I tried for the audio alternative. So, 
basically, this means I can’t even use the app.

Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
I had the same experience Karen describes. I called them to report that books 
don't display properly in the Kindle app on IOS. It's like all the formatting 
stripped, and the text reads in one giant line with no paragraphs or chapter 
headings or anything. The tech support person was very nice, and said he would 
submit it as a feature request, but nothing has changed.
Cheers,
Donna

I noticed that the IOS app has changed again.  It was OK last time why change 
it?  So far I haven’t had the capture.  If I do I’ll be annoyed as you can’t 
gett anyone on the phone unless they are introducing that again although I’m in

Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread Karen Lewellen

Donna,
Is this a new issue?
granted I have never used  Kindle in any form, but that sort of display 
situation  seems  well loopy.

Do not many students use the app for textbooks?
makes me wonder if Apple  might be the better place to complain.  granted 
I may be  incorrect but does not a company have to get Apple's okay before 
they can state their program  works on Ios or even the mac?
If so, given Apple's   accessibility commitment, can they refuse such a 
designation  if the application  does not work well   from an access 
standpoint?

 Kare

And Amazon, now aware of the issue is correcting this how exactly?
The situation has been escalated to a supervisor?
Because that is not a feature request, that is a system wide bug.

Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
Nice thought, Karen, but Apple would never refuse them that designation. Nor 
should they. Unfortunately, Kindle sometimes has books that iBooks doesn’t 
have, so I would hate for those books to be unavailable. The guy at Amazon told 
me that this is not an issue on Kindle devices, only in the IOS app. We’ll see, 
but I figure the likelihood of them ever fixing it is pretty close to zero.
Cheers,
Donna

Connecting Alexa Ecco Dott to your Mac

2020-08-14 Thread 'Kawal Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
Hi.

Please could someone tell me how to connect Alexa Ecco Dot to your Mac so you 
can play stuff from the Mac on it like your music as I don’t want or need Music 
subscriptions.

I did open Bluetooth preferences on my Mac.  Or do you ask Alexa to connect to 
my I Mac?  If so, what do you say?

Thanks.

Kawal.

Re: Connecting Alexa Ecco Dott to your Mac

2020-08-14 Thread Traci Duncan
Hi, I believe this is what I did.

Go to your Mac’s bluetooth preference pain and make sure bluetooth is turned 
on. Have Boiceover’s focus inside the table of devices you have previously 
connected to. Then, ask Alexa to pair to a new device. Start arrowing up and 
down inside that bluetooth table. Echo should show up soon, then enter or 
VO-space on it to connect. After this you can adjust some settings, like the 
volume of the external device, or if you want your system settings to come 
through your Mac or the Echo. I set the volume to 100%, but this is separate 
from Echo’s volume from 1-10. I had to set it to 100% to hear. My Echo was only 
on volume 3.

Good luck,
Traci

Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread 'Peggy' via MacVisionaries
Have used amazon both with the app and on my computer and had no problem. The 
only time I had to type in a captcha was when I reset my password, but that was 
a while ago. Is your credit card and address stored in your account? If it 
isn't, maybe that's why the captcha is needed. No one else in my family has had 
a problem either.

Re: Accessibility issues inside the amazon application

2020-08-14 Thread Karen Lewellen

when  is the last time  you completed a buy at amazon?
To be sure, for a while given nothing about my setup changed, i. e. same 
cookies, but when they began to do different things with security, much 
changed.
Not that anyone's experience generalizes to another.  We are not using 
your 
devices.

Essentially, I was confronted with their captcha system when trying to get the

tapped the audio alternative, only to be confronted with a page that stated 
“the page you requested does not exist”. After calling amazon customer support, 
I was told there wasn’t anything they could do about this currently.

So, are there apps on the App Store that anyone knows of that can read a 
captcha and solve it? I tried finding a few, only to end up with a lot of 
search results for image rendering, editing and the like. Not one single solver 
in the bunch.

Honestly, this is very frustrating and the fact that amazon is so big that they 
feel they can flout the law makes it even more so. Any suggestions or help 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
