Member returning Eric Caron
Dear group, I’m looking forward to participating again on this list. Somehow my inactivity resulted in being unsubscribed. Life will now allow me to participate again. I’m also looking forward to getting my Mac back into top working condition. Now, if only this message gets through and I can figure out how to get the emails flowing again. Looking forward to being part of the community. Eric Caron -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

New member start up glitches
Hi folks, Not sure this message will get through. I sent a earlier list message and did receive some replies. But then no more list messages after that. I’m sure the list is more active then no messages for 6 or more hours so I’m sending this again to see if the pipe line will work. I didn’t see my own message and In the past I did. A couple messages did end up in my junk mail, but nothing new for many hours. I just turned off my rule to move the messages to a special mail box so hoping that might help. I’m looking forward to communication again. Eric Caron -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Google group settings
Hi folks, Assume I am not seeing this message or your replies. If you can suggest ways to get this group to send me emails I’d be grateful. I think I am getting replies off list but nothing to the list address. I’ve found a setting that said all emails and tried to set that in the google groups settings with no change.

Ignore sorry for traffic check
Working on joining. Last night messages showed up,, this morning all messages disappeared except a few in the junk box and some of list emails. I’m playing with deleting old mail rules and mail boxes to see if that helps. Eventually I’ll just give it a rest and try back in the future.

Re: Getting Access to What SIRI is Showing Me
Hi Jonathan and others, Hope this works. This type of exchange is why I value this list and hope to be functional again. This message came through. I remember when my iPhone would act as described. I’d ask for a phone number or address from contacts and before I could read it, it would go away. I’m currently using 13.3.1 on a 10 S and this is not happening. I can now see the info when swiping. Not the entire contact but the info I asked for and some functionality like making a call is there. If I asked for the address I can tap on that and maps is activated. If I tap on the item that says Contact header it actually opens in contacts but is just the contacts app not the contact I asked for. Hope this gets through.

Re: Getting Access to What SIRI is Showing Me
Hi Dave, Yes, I generally go back and forth between my Mac and iPhone doing whatever is easier on either device. Also, learned that I’m rusty with this group as I missed from the question that it was Mac and not iOS. Hoping to improve my contributions. But, still not consistently getting group emails.

Request recommendation for foldable keyboard
Hi Listeres, In the hope that I’m making progress this message might come through, and hopefully I’ll see the replies. I’m looking for a portable bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPhone when traveling. Something that when open is a full keyboard with arrows and function keys. A number pad is probably too much to ask for. This would be something I could use to type longer documents and emails or edit with. Does anyone have a recommendation for a folding or small keyboard that would travel well and be functional? One plus is that it can be easily turned off and on as it is nice to sometimes quickly get the on screen keyboard back. Recommendations greatly appreciated, And here’s hoping I have made progress on the group email flow and that I see the replies, Best, Eric Caron -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Word Processors recommendation
Working on getting my Mac in a stronger working order. I have not updated the operating system as my current Microsoft app is 34 bit and I don’t have a clue where the registration info is. I purchased my copy many years ago and had a difficult time getting it installed. I accidentally selected the 34 bit version. I understand if I move to the latest Mac operating system it will no longer work. So I’m considering Microsoft 365. What is the word processor of choice these days? Anyway, I’m wondering if Pages has improved over the years so. That I don’t need Microsoft work for Mac or Microsoft 365. What is the current state of Accessability for Microsoft and Pages? My concern is was of use and ability to share documents as a doc or similar file. It was frustrating to have to export in Pages every time I wanted to share a file with someone. Still my day to day work is almost all Mac now. Before purchasing Microsoft 365 I thought I’d check in. Thoughts and tips appreciated!

Re: backblaze and voiceover
Hi Jean, Years ago I started using Carbon Copy Cloner. At the time it was free. Then it moved to a payed model. I’ve been using it ever sense. It is accessible. It makes a bootable copy on a external drive. I have only once had to use it to completely restore my hard drive, but it worked and was well worth having it. It can also be used to retrieve files from past backups. I just mention it as I’ve had good luck with it. But, I have not investigated other options in many years. Please keep responses on list, as that is how we all learn.

Re: Word Processors recommendation
Thanks folks, This has been very helpful. My documents tend to be pretty simple, though they can get long. Text edit seemed to handle reading and saving back as a doc file. Also, Pages seems pretty responsive and I seem to be finding my way around pretty well. I was originally planning on getting the 365 to try but now I’m tempted to use these two word processors and see how that goes. The info has been very helpful.

Group wisdom on upgrading to Catalina?
Hi folks, Now that I’m back on list I have a bit more confidence about upgrading. I’m wondering if the group feels like Catalina is now functioning well and worth upgrading or are many people sticking with a past OS? I’m currently working in Mojave.

Re: anyone having trouble with Siri on HomePod and Wemo smart plugs?
Hi Donna, I had a similar problem with the same smart plug and Amazon Echo. To solve the problem I had to reset the Wemo plug. Just resetting my Echo and rediscovery didn’t work. I had to follow the reset directions on the Wemo plug and then set it up again. After that it worked correctly. I think it also updated it’s firm ware in the process. I googled how to reset the plug. If I remember correctly I had to hold the power button down and plug it in and hold the button for 10 seconds. Then I used the Wemo app to find it and set it up. I hope this helps.

Re: Coronavirus impact: Apple moves WWDC to online format, citing 'current health situation' | Fox News
Hi Ann, Only recently returning to list it is so good to see familiar names posting in supporting each other. I remember how this group both supported each other with tech but also behind the tech supported each other’s successe. I look forward to seeing posts from new and familiar people in this community. Currently, My family has two people effected directly. This relates to tech, One has just been returned to the US and is recovering from COVID19. He is not out of the woods. The other is healthy but quarantined, in a very small foreign country near India. Her life line to the world is her iPhone 7 and iPad. Mostly the iPhone. She was able to have unlimited data turned on. Without that communication her life would be very difficult right now. With that iPhone she is connected to her family and the world. I have been able to help her with small glitches with the phone but mainly it is just working well. This is even more fortunate as I can not say the US embassy has been helpful. So, tech support and encouragement from this list may become even more important than we would realize. Glad to be reconnected to all of you. I hope all folks traveling have reliable cell phones And, let's keep the communication options on our Macs ready to go.

Re: Group wisdom on upgrading to Catalina?
Hi folks, I did the upgrade and all went well. No longer able to use my 32 bit version of Microsoft word. But, for my purposes Pages seems to be working out very nicely and I have Text Edit as well for some things. I am not sure I want to add more to my learning curve right now with Windows. Thanks for the tips and encouragement. One note. In a earlier thread about back up solutions I mentioned liking Carbon Copy Cloner. In the process of upgrading I needed again to give Carbon Copy Cloner some permissions. This was not easy to do. They wanted me to drag a file into a table. It was a fish icon. I remember years ago writing to the developer and explaining it was not easy for a blind person using voice over to do. It has not been changed. He did send me a way to do it but it was not easy and ended up just having my sighted partner drag it over. So, though I have not used Super Duper I’d take the advice given by Robert Carter and go that route for a application that does Cloning. I’ll stick to what I have as it is working and paid for but I won’t upgrade it in the future. So far, I’m enjoying Catalina.

Silencing Voice over
Hi listers, I remember in the past using the control key to stop VO from talking. Than a second press to start speech again. In the last two operating systems I don’t seem to be able to do this any longer. Am I missing something? In most cases when I press the control key VO just keeps talking and than at the end says control. This is because I have the modifier keys set to speak when pressed. So, for example in mail I may press down arrow to hear a message and then want to stop speech with control. I press it and it just keeps talking. Is there another key now to obtain silence and then return to speech? A little more experimentation is indicating to me that if I turn VO off and on again the function seems to work again for a time. Are others experiencing the same? I find I have to toggle VO off and on a lot lately to get it to work correctly. This happens a lot when editing text in mail.

Re: backblaze and voiceover
Hi Robert and others. I just found I still had this thread in my messages so I wanted to add that I don’t have experience with Super Duper but if I were starting over I’d use that app over Carbon Copy Cloner. The reason is the VO support Robert mentions. I’ve had good luck with CCC but the developer doesn’t seem to go out of his way to make sure the app is fully accessible. Recent experience after upgrading my Mac was that I had to set up CCC again to have full access to my hard drive. This required dragging a fish icon to the table in the security settings. I remember years ago writing to the developer asking for another solution. He sent me a reply but it was not workable. So, in the end I used sighted help. It sounds like Super Duper would not have this issue and likely be easier to use. I will say the CCC clone worked perfectly when I needed it, so having a bootable clone in your back up solution is something I’d recommend.

Re: Silencing Voice over
This conversation has been helpful. When the control key doesn’t work I just start VO over again and it lasts for some time. It may last for moments or for a long time. At least I can now get it to work. Interesting that it consistently works on a mini. I’m using a 2018 Mac Book Pro 15.

Re: Wi-Fi Extenders
I”m interested in the replies. My wifi was weak in one spot in my home. I purchased a TP link extender. I didn’t notice any improvement no matter where I put it. I have two old apple express routers. They can be used to extend a network or as a air play device. I was able to get them working and attached to my network. I then placed them so one was part way to my bed room and one was in the room. I didn’t notice any improvement. I think it may have even weakened the signal. Finally I just gave up and that one spot has one bar and works much of the time. I’d like to eventually find a router that has serious range. I’m actually doing a little better now that I retired the last router and pressed back into service my Apple time capsule. That old thing is still keeping up with my many smart home devices and streaming demands. I hope to hear you find a successful resolution.

Re: backblaze and voiceover
Hi Andrew, Thanks for the explanation and your directions on how you dragged the fish icon into the table. I’ll remember to try that going forward. In a past operating system on my Mac I could not get the steps to work, but I was lazy this time and didn’t even try. I need to remember that things do change and usually improve with time. Generally CCC, Carbon Copy cloner has worked well for me and I find it easy to navigate. It has also saved me big time at least once when I needed to restore my laptop disk from the clone. Nice to know that at lease two good options are out there. But, Hopefully Super Duper doesn’t also require the security table challenge.

Aira free to College students for the rest of the spring semester
Hi listers, 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. They also now easily screen share on the Mac and iPhone. 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 -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Aira free to College students for the rest of the spring semester
Hi Petrus, and others, I was skeptical when it first came out. I used Bemyeyes and bespectacle, I think it was called that. And, those apps were free. But, I got a free offer to try 30 minutes and I was hooked. I kept it like a emergency helper. But, now with the free 5 minute calls I rarely use the 30 minutes a month. And, When I’m stuck needing a pair of eyes it is great to have a trained person with skills and tools available to help. I’d recommend to try it out and keep the app on the phone. If you are lucky enough to be in a country where it works it could help out in a pinch. Example, I was building a garden shed and my talking tape measure fell out of my pocket. I needed it to keep working. I used Aira and in a moment I had it back. It had bounced under the leaves but the agent still spotted it. Another time I got disoriented in my yard. I called and they got me turned back around so I could find my way back. They now help more with crossing streets. In the beginning they didn’t do that. And in the US more and more locations have free service, air ports, busses, sub ways, college campuses, drug stores, department stores and so on. I once used free access at a drug store to get a tour. I had no idea they had such a variety of things there! They can now even share your Mac computer screen and fill in captures. I had difficulty getting text to enter in a form field last week and they just put the focus in the spot and then it worked. So, even if you just use the free 5 minute calls now and then it is nice to have in your tool box. In other countries bemyeyes can do some of the functionality. But, Aira has agents waiting. They are trained and have a dashboard ready to use to assist. It has things like maps of the airports you might be at. The ability to take a picture and magnify it to help you know what is around you. They can even google things or help on a shopping quest. Some of the agents are not only well trained but have background in Orientation and mobility and other useful areas.

Mail in Catalina
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. Eric Caron -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Mail in Catalina
Hi Tim, I had the slow move happen once before after upgrading and after a period of time it seemed to improve. This time I finally noticed that the response time in mail was improved to almost normal if I didn’t have a lot of mail windows open. Somehow while I work in mail I end up with many open windows. I have to remember now and then to look at the window chooser and it may say 12 windows are open or even more then 20. Once I close them all the app is more responsive. I’m not sure how I end up opening so many windows in mail. I am just opening messages or reading things or sending things and suddenly if I check the window chooser I have all kinds of mail windows open. Any idea why that happens? But, in the meantime closing them all fixes the sluggish response. Your response stating you have not seen this caused me to keep experimenting until I found a solution. I didn’t notice this in my last OS but still had the many open windows issue. My computer is a 2018 Mac book pro with 16 gigs ram so that should be able to handle moving a message to a mail box.

Re: Mail in Catalina
Hi Tim, I have 7 accounts. One of them is off line as it is a old employer, but I have many emails in that account I might want to search through in the future. Of the others one is not very active. The other 5 are established with many mailboxes each. I use the same processes you described. Still by mid day I end up with many windows open. Even though having all windows closed helps a lot moving a message is still slow. The way I move a message is to open the context menu and go to copy, I arrow up once to move and then right arrow. I enter a few letters of the mail box name and when it comes up press enter. It is slow when I first do this. If I move a second message it is often more responsive. It was not doing this in Mojave, although I think it did in the beginning. Thank you for the thoughtful replies. It is now slow but much more usable. I keep a lot of messages in organized mailboxes under many accounts and I wonder if there is some time needed for everything to settle in after the OS upgrade.

Cut and paste from Mac to iphone
Hi listers, Today, for the first time since upgrading I tried to copy text into my Mac clipboard and paste with my iPhone. I’ve done this a few times in the past and found it helpful. I have bluetooth on both Mac and iPhone turned on. I copy the text on the Mac. When I enter a text field on the iPhone I used to get a edit option with paste. Now it doesn’t show up. Any ideas how to trouble shoot this useful function? Mack is Mac book pro 2015 iPhone is 10 S. iOS 13 Thanks, Eric Caron -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: Mail in Catalina
Hi Tim, I did some additional experimentation. I don’t expect to solve this but here is something interesting. If I press the context menu and then try to go to move it is slow and usually says mail busy at least once. However, If I press the context menu and then close it and immediately open it again my computer is snappy and I can move the email quickly. Very strange. But for now it makes me a little less crazy to do it this way as I’m not waiting for the computer to respond. Just thought I’d share in case someone else experiences this. Glad your family is all together. We unfortunately have a member in a distant country in quarantine and after 13 days of testing negative now tested positive. And, Vermont USA where I live is now on lock down. Crazy times, but man, I appreciate my technology more then ever!

Re: Cut and paste from Mac to iphone
Hi Tim, I double checked hand off and both are turned on. Mac and iPhone. I have a funny feeling I’m doing something silly like not pasting correctly or not looking for the correct rotor setting. I was copying from Pages on the Mac and trying to paste the content as a Facebook post into a group I incompetently administer. I’m going to update to iOS 13.4 and try again. I think it might have actually been in the app switcher. did hear my ipHone say something like hand off error at one point but not sure when or where to find that error message. It can be Fun solving these puzzles. Eric Caron > On Mar 25, 2020, at 2:06 PM, 'Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi, > > You need more than just Bluetooth enabled.

Re: Mail in Catalina
Hi Tim and others, Sluggish moving of mail messages solved. Well, In the process of trying to get hand off to work again I turned off and restarted my computer. And though I’m still working on solving the hand off issue the sluggish mail moving behavior is gone. Got to love that restart problem solving technique. Keep reminding me of this next time I have an unusual behavior not seen by others. Thanks to all those working with me through these computer quirks. I don’t think I would have upgraded to Catalina If I didn’t know this support list was out there.

Re: Cut and paste from Mac to iphone
Hi Brad and others, I’m glad I’m not the only one experienced hand off not working. I was starting to think I was alone with this. I have restarted iPhone and Mac, turned off Hand off and turned on again on both devices. I’ve tried selecting on the Mac and pasting on the iPhone in an edit field. Only one time did the Edit option show up in the rotor and it didn’t have a paste option. Most times that option is missing but I have a select text option. So if anyone has some tips and tricks I’d be happy to try them. I’ll probably try again to clean out my app switcher , toggle the settings, restart the devices, and see if those steps bring it back up again.

Re: Cut and paste from Mac to iphone
Hi Robert and others, Robert’s suggestion to turn off Screen Curtin and then try hand off worked for me! So for now hand off problem solved. Now that is some strange bug. Thanks Robert and everyone for sticking with me through this problem solving adventure. I actually find this feature a useful time saver and a way to write understandably on the iPhone. Great team work. I wonder if having screen Curtin on causes other issues. Now I can move on to my next puzzle I have not been able to solve on my own!

Hi, If you are hearing emails being read as they come in it is possible that the notifications are set up in a way that speaks them. I remember turning that off in the past.

Best way to do recorded remote interviews
Hi listers, I’d like to do remote interviews and record them. I would need to have the format in a form I could edit on something like Amadeus Pro. I suspect there are people out there on this list, with experience doing this for podcasts and other audio productions. What would be a good tool to use. I have a Mac book pro, Audio Hijack Amadeus Pro, and I could get a Zoom account or use Skype or FaceTime depending on the person I’m interviewing. Most will have access to a iPhone but I can’t be sure of other peoples technology. Recommendations are appreciated.

Re: Best way to do recorded remote interviews
Thanks, I’ll check it out. I was thinking I’d be able to do a better job recording through my Mac. Also, I will edit on the Mac. Tips would be greatly appreciated. I’m a basic and rusty user of Amadeus Pro, Audio hijack, and I do have a mixer available. I don’t have yet other hardware and if that is needed recommendations would be great.

Re: Back up of music on Icloud
Hi, Others might have better ideas but here is what I do. I actually pay for iTunes Match to keep all my music backed up and available on all devices. I also have other sound files and I created a folder in my iCloud Drive for that. Also, if you place a folder with the sound files you want backed up either in your Documents Folder or Desk top folder it can be backed up to iCloud. Of course you need to have enough storage space.

Networking my printer, can I go through my Mac?
Hi folks, My brother laser printer could be networked through my router but I would need to access the non accessible touch pad. My sighted partner gets very frustrated with technical things so I can’t rely on a patient helper to figure it out. I currently have the printer connected through usb to my Mac. That is fine but I’d like to be able to have other devices such as phones, iPads, and another Mac be able to print from the printer. Is there a way to have the printer show up for these devices by sharing it somehow through my Mac? Any tips appreciated.

Re: Networking my printer, can I go through my Mac?
Hi Tim, Hoping for a few more tips. I followed the directions and went to System prefs and selected printers and I checked the share check box. But when we go to the print button on a iOS device under print it says select printer but nothing shows up. Any next steps? I did restart both the computer, printer, and iOS Device.

Re: Networking my printer, can I go through my Mac?
Hi Tim and others, Success, My sighted helper was a bit more agreeable and took her time. We googled the Brother printer and setting up wifi. They don’t seem to make this very easy. She found a source that talked her through the layers on the touch screen and she was finally able to enter the wifi password. After that all devices found the printer and printed easily. I didn’t need to really do anything else. I did update my software on my Mac but I don’t think that had anything to do with it. I also downloaded the brother printer app on my phone. It may be useful to me but I don’t think it was needed to make the printer available as other devices found it without the app. I sure wish these devices had talking menus or at lease an app or computer access that let us do all the functions from an accessible place. Still, the tips here got me headed in the right direction and I was able to quickly move past my attempt and into the next place to try. I’m very appreciative of the info here. And, a bonus is I should be able to use the printer from my other Mac. Thanks folks.

Re: Apple Magic Trackpad 2
Hi Foks, Is there a way on the track pad to press enter? I have not looked in a long time. I used to use the track pad more but found it silly to have to take my hand off to select a button or action. I think the best I could do back then was hold down a keyboard button like command then press the track pad. This is why I ended up just focusing on keyboard commands. I actually liked the track pad commands but not being able to press the default action from the track pad was a deal breaker.

Help with saving files in Pages
Hi Folks, I’m hoping a Pages user can walk me through the file menu of the Pages app. I need to understand how things work and I think my years as a Microsoft Word user is getting in the way. I’m looking for a easy way to save a document I’m working in and give it a new name or save it to a different location. When I press Save nothing seems to happen but I’m pretty sure it has saved my recent changes. If I press Duplicate it makes a copy but then I’m dumped back into my file and have not been able to change the name or save it to a new place. If I press rename It seems to open and then I’m back in my file without being able to give it a new name. And pressing Move brings me a place where I can select some locations with a button but not go more deeply into a folder to save the document. I’m sure it is me just not understanding the work flow so I’d love some tips on saving and naming files in Pages.

Re: Help with saving files in Pages
These responses are so helpful. I’m still experimenting with all the tips to see what works best for me. But, I”m enjoying Pages much more then I did when I first tried it many years ago. These tips are great and I look forward to mastering more of this app. And, remembering to check the option key alternative menus is going to be helpful in many apps. I’m rally enjoying having a little time to focus on using my Mac more fully.

Recommendations for external mic and possibly mixer
Hi folks, I used to do podcasts but then work and life kept me very busy for several years. Now I’ve had the desire to do some hopefully helpful podcasts again. But technology has gone way ahead of me. I’ve noticed that sound has vastly improved in podcasts. I suspect more people are using usb microphones on their computers. In some group zoom meetings and some podcasts the differences are amazing. Most people sound ok, probably using the computer mic. Others sound like they are standing in the room next to me! Can I get some recommendations for a “reasonable “ not the ultimate expensive choices on a mic and possibly a simple mixer that would work well with my 2018 MacBook Pro? I’d like to nail this down before exploring my iPhone options. My goal is to be able to do interviews with one or possibly two people remotely using zoom or similar platform. I also plan to do some simple software and application demonstrations, so this would be my voice and the computer or iPhone. Hard ware is my first priority and then tips on how to use it!

Re: Silencing VoiceOver with the control key
Hi Petrus, Yes, I brought this up earlier. For me it works sometimes. If not working what happens is I press it and Voice over just keeps talking. I have to restart Voice over and then the Control key will work correctly. Unfortunately it doesn’t last all that long and I’m back to turning voice over off and on again. It is nice when it works. Best of luck. Eric Caron > On May 3, 2020, at 9:26 PM, Petrus Tuerlings wrote: > > I just tested it again, I can report that I am most definitely pressing it > once.

Re: Silencing VoiceOver with the control key
It would be helpful if it worked. It would be a quick way to stop speech in all kinds of situations. Mostly when my wife wants to tell me something and the computer is talking so I can’t hear. But also when on a phone call, or when I want to silence a long unneeded computer ramble. I have learned to restart voice over or turn the volume down but the control key is faster and easier. And it has the advantage that a second press starts speech where it left off. I notice just now that if I close my lid and then reopen the control key feature no longer works. I have to restart Voice over. Unfortunately due to an active cat it is best if I shut my lid often. I’ll pay attention to see what else triggers the failure.

Re: managing mail on the IPhone.
Hi Jessica, this is not a area I use a lot, as once I got it working I never touched the settings again. But, I can offer a few general tips and hopefully others can provide you more detailed help. First, I remember when I first started using my Google account on the iPhone there was no delete button. You have a archive button instead. Use that as you would delete and don't move things to trash. Someone else will need to chime in on how to get the delete button to show up, that is if you want it to. some people prefer the Archive button. In settings you can change the mail behavior for downloading messages. I have mine set up to only download when I open Mail. this will give you the behavior you want. Again a better expert can walk you through the settings but if you look under settings then mail, you should find it. Hope this info helps a little. eric Caron On Mar 2, 2012, at 12:45 AM, Jessica wrote: > I just tried using my Gmail acount on my IPhone, and everything seemed to be > going fairly well, until I started realizing that first of all, I wasn't sure > if the "move," command was actually deleting my messages, sense I don't see a > button to delete them, so I just told it to move them to my trash folder. > Then next thing I knew, it was downloading them faster than I could move > them, and I can't find an option to make this stop, which is eating away at > my battery and cluttering up my phone, and I don't want my mail to > automaticly download anyway, sense my e-mail isn't my whole life lol. > So with that being said, can anyone help with this? > Are you looking for a free home based business that will also pay you a good > income?

How to use the archives?
Dear listers, I'm rather intimidated with using searches. Even Google sometimes confuses me. So, I've not used the search functions available in this list. I'm wondering if someone would post directions on how to use the archives for this list. A podcast would also be very welcome. Also if the process is different for the viphone list then tips on searching there would be appreciated. I'm ready to give this a good try.

What's new in List Recorder 2.3 podcast
Hello Listers, This is probably more appropriate for the viPhone list, but I'm not sure my messages are getting through over there. Can't see my messages or replies for the past 3 days or so. Below is a ;podcast that lives at applevis.com. It is a short review of the new features in List Recorder 2.3. It is the same info I posted in writing some time ago. I learn best from podcasts so I made this for those who might find it useful. This is not designed for a new user of List recorder. For podcasts like that go to sixthmode.com. I plan to do more podcasts on this app that will show the more advanced features in detail. I sure hope this message gets out there! I understand this update has just come out in the app store. link is below.

Returning to a old stereo
Hello Listers, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my head around the new surround sound systems. What I think might work best for me is to find a older powerful stereo receiver or receiver and amp that I can plug my computer directly to and perhaps also connect a airport express or Apple TV. I don't own a TV and don't enjoy listening to TV or even movies very much. I do love solid strong clear stereo music. So If anyone else out there can advise me here is what I've done so far. I've contacted a electronics repair center and asked them to keep a look out for a solid older system. I would like 200 wats of power and old fashioned controls. Here are some concerns. Would the Apple Express give me air play in the best way or would a Apple TV give any advantages in this set up? Could I run a sub woofer from a older system like that? Any tips on what system might work happily with my Mac? Finally, I'm not avers to using a newer unit but am totally baffled by all the stuff on the remote and all the TV related stuff. Is there a retro receiver out there or a new one with old fashioned capability? My Mac is my entertainment center at this point but I'd love to get better sound then I currently have. eRic Caron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: WIFI Printers?
Hi Kawal, I'll be following this thread with interest. I can not recommend the Printer I got with my Mac. It was very difficult for even sighted friends to set up and it often needed to be set up again such as when the power went out. It always required someone to play with the printer in addition to software settings on the Mac. My not so Friendly printer is the Canon MP 620 Multi Printer. It works better with the USB plugged directly into my Time Capsule. It is a ink jet printer copier,scanner. My experience is such that I plan to stay away from Cannon printers whenever possible.

Re: Returning to a old stereo
Hi Chris and anyone else following this crazy topic! So chris If I'm understanding you correctly I might be able to either just purchase a separate amp and feed the output from my slightly underpowered receiver to it. that way the mac out put could be boosted but I could also attach a airport express to the receiver as well as some other mp3 devices. As my current system has a stereo out put option and a sub woofer line out I could enjoy the benefits of my sub woofer and the traditional stereo sound. Does this sound right so far? One important question though. My current Sony receiver does not have a pre amp out, it only has tape in out and the speaker wires so how do I get the sound from the mac and airport express to the receiver and out to the amp? I'm trying to power 250 watt speakers with a 150 watt receiver. sorry to ask what are probably very basic questions for most people. eric Caron On Apr 23, 2012, at 10:47 AM, Chris Blouch wrote: > So the Mac actually has two kinds of audio output, analog stereo and > optical/digital multi-channel. > > The first is probably more familiar which would be to have a mini-headphone > cable with standard left/right RCA connectors on the other end which you run > to an input on the receiver and you get nice stereo sound.

Re: Setting to not automatically add files to iTunes library.
Alison and others, There is a way to set up iTunes so it does not automatically add files when played. I learned how to do it from Esther quite som time ago. It has been a long time so I'll have to search my notes to find how to do it. I remember it was not hard to do but it was also not obvious by any means. So, there is a way but I'll have to get back to you unless someone else does. Sorry this is only half a answer but I wanted you to know there is a way. I also usually use quick look by pressing the space bar. However, sometimes I want the iTunes controls and it is nice to open a file in iTunes and not have to find and delete it later. eRic Caron On Apr 29, 2012, at 3:51 PM, Allison Mervis wrote: > Hi everyone! > I recently got a beautiful new Macboook pro, and find myself using it more > than my pc because it's so portable.

Re: defining single key for vo keys?
Hi Alex, Jonathan and others, This is a great thread but I must say that I still think it would be very very helpful to be able to have the Voice Over key be one key. I ordered a full USB keyboard about a year ago so that I could use the num pad commander. I like it a lot, but frankly, I would not need it if the Voice Over key could be assigned to the caps lock key. It is a matter of keeping my fingers on the home keys. I'm much faster on the keyboard if I can just leave my fingers on the home row and type away. But with Voice Over keys needing two fingers I just can't do that. Further on the portables VO keys are only on the left side. this forces me to do all kinds of finger contortions to do a simple command. I'm glad Voice Over gives us lots of ways to do things. I use them all but, every 6 months or so I write to accessibility@@apple.com and ask please please can I have the caps lock key assignably as the VO keys? It would be great to have this be one more VO option. It was a thread like this one that caused me to purchase a full size keyboard, so I could use the num pad commander. This helped a great deal.

Re: Setting to not automatically add files to iTunes library.
Hi Alison and others, Well, it looks like I am wrong. I will post below the info I saved from a message from Esther. It seems like the solution is to change the default player to something else. In my case I use Amadeus Pro. This gives me controls for play back without needing to add the track to iTunes. I also learned from Esther about quick look and use that often. I think other listers have all ready given this advice. One other tip. If I accidentally do play something in iTunes that I want to delete I usually go to my recently added play list or my zero rated play list. to find and delete it. Sorry to get your hopes up. Esther's directions on how to change the default player are excellent and that alone makes this post worth keeping for future reference! below is Esther's post that helped me with this iTunes issue. Eric Caron start post Hi Eric, You can play tracks without adding them to your iTunes library if you QuickLook them by pressing space bar instead of opening them in an app. This obviously does not work for DRM protected apps, since iTunes is required to validate the DRM (e.g. with audiobooks purchased from Audible or the iTunes Store, movies, really old iTunes Music tracks that were purchased before they moved to DRM-free purchases, etc.) Other than that, you can set the default app to open mp3 files, for example, to be something other than iTunes (e.g., VLC, QuickTime Player, etc.). Just select an mp3 track, and use Command-I to bring up the "Get Info" window. Use item chooser (VO-I) to navigate to the "Open with" option: specifically VO-Right arrow to the pop up button for the application, VO-Space, then select the app you want other than iTunes (e.g. QuickTime Player or VLC).If you then VO-Right arrow past the pop up, there's an option to "Use this application to open all documents like this on e." followed by a "Change All" button that you can press (VO-Space) before closing the get info window with Command-W. I think that as long as iTunes is the default app for opening a file, it adds the new entries to its library. Just QuickLook the file instead of opening it if you don't want it to be added to iTunes.

iTunesmatch How to get High Quality versions?
Hi listers, I recently subscribed to iTunes match. I'm hoping to improve the quality of some of my music. Many of my rips have some sound issues so updating to the Apple version would be nice. My understanding is that you can download the Apple version once your song is matched. I don't know how to do that. Can someone offer tips how to know if you have downloaded a better quality version of the song? Many of my low quality Mp3 rips could use help and I can't take the time to dig out hundreds of CD's to do them again. So far I seemed to have completed the first steps and iTunes thinks it is done. In the view menu I turned on the iCloud options and now hear the message" iCloud download needs "upload or the message "iCloud download "local. I would be grateful if someone could explain these messages . And if I can have directions on how to use iCloud match to improve the quality of my rips so my listening is improved.

I double checked the view options and found that I had not checked all the options I thought I had. Once I checked I cloud Status and kind I found a lot more information listed by each song. One thing I still don't understand, the kind shows mpeg audio and not .mp3. but when I look at the files in the finder in my library they are still mp3 files. They do seem to be playing clearer in iTunes. I'm guessing they are playing through the internet. Is there a way to ask iTunes to download the improved version so that will play when i'm not connected to the internet? I really really do need help with this question!

Re: iTunesmatch How to get High Quality versions?
Hi Esther and others, Jonathan Mosen's excellent podcast on iTunes Match very helpful and it was after listening to it that I subscribed. I solved my first problem of not being able to see the status of my music on my mac by double checking the view menu and finding I had not checked all the iCloud options Jonathan recommended. this was operator error on my part as I thought I had checked them. My current question is how to get the old mp3 files replaced. I'm confident once I read the links in Esther's post I'll find answers. Thanks to Jonathan, and Esther, and others for helping me work out the kinks in iTunes Match. I'm all ready noticing improvement in my listening experience. Keep the tips coming! Off to work now and I'll check back in this evening. It is amazing how helpful this list is! eRic Caron On Jun 25, 2012, at 9:45 PM, Esther wrote: > Hi Eric, > > Have you already listened to the podcast that Jonathan Mosen did about using > iTunes match for this?

Re: Downloading bard books with the mac
Hi Rachel, It sounds like you are getting many different ways of approaching downloading books from NLS BARD. I'll add a few comments that I hope help. I'm using Lyon and Safari. I have the Safari preference setting under General set to open safe files after downloading. This means the file is unzipped automatically so I have the book waiting for me and ready to go in my downloads folder. I don't generally worry about the download status but If I want to check it you can go to the downloads list and interack with the group associated with the download and the information is there. Once the book is downloaded I simply either copy it to the NLS cartridge I purchased from American Printing House For the Blind and it works just like a NLS book. Only I fit many books onto the single cartridge. To access the multiple books just hold down the play button on the NLS machine and it will open the bookshelf. To copy to the cartridge you will need a USB extender cable also sold at the American Printing House for the Blind. If I'm using the Victor reader stream then I copy the folder from my Mac to the book shelf folder on the SD card and it works fine. If you don't have a NLS cartridge for the NLS player a thumb drive will work the same way. Hope this helps. I find the process quick and easy on the Mac. Best. eRic Caron On Jun 30, 2012, at 8:22 PM, Rachel Feinberg wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I've had the mac for a month and a half and absolutely love it thus far.

Re: iTunesmatch How to get High Quality versions?
Esther, tim, and others, I wanted to give a update to those who followed this thread. After following Esther and Tim Kilburn's directions I was able to successfully use the iTunes match service to vastly improve my listening experience. The article reference in Esther's post made this especially easy with the descriptions on how to make the smart play lists. When I did this my library of 17,125 songs was divided up and I found over 11,000 songs that would be improved by replacing them with the higher quality songs from apple. Further many of these songs were ripped either from my slightly abused cd collection, I'll never forget the day over 250 cd's hit the floor when a leg broke offf a bookcase, or from vinyl rips. It is amazing to me how many songs were matched. I took the bold step of deleting all 11,000 songs from my library and letting iTunes replace them from the cloud. this took a long time. I let the computer work on this during the night and during the day when I was at work. It still took my late 2009 Mac book over three days to complete the task. Occasionally a error message would come up and then say the network connection was reestablished. sometimes this error would start happening a lot. When this happened I would restart iTunes and go back to the smart playlist with the needed songs and select all again and press download. the process would continue again and the errors would stop for some time. I noticed that If I was playing music and reading mail and pushing the computer a bit the error messages seem to increase. These are just observations from my experience. Finally, I definitely notice a improvement in the over all quality of my listening. I don't think I've heard a skipping or damaged track since I completed the process. A few of my vinyl tracks still show up in my mixes and I actually enjoy hearing the familiar background sounds. On the other hand the crisp sound of the replaced tracks is great. To think all those tracks I originally ripped 7 or more years ago on a low bit rate Windows machine are now available so clearly improved without me taking weeks to rip them in again manually. This was certainly a great investment. I have only started to investigate the uses of Tunes match with regard to my phone. I'm sure there is potential there I have not yet begun to use or understand. I hope this information is useful to others out there.

Scott, How do I find the update? It doesn't show up when I do software update and I see nothing in type2phone that asks about checking for a update.

Re: type2phone
Dear listers, Have any users of Type2phone been able to get the app to copy from the mac and paste into a edit field on the iPhone. I remember from a past message from esther that in previous versions this was possible. I have never been able to do this. I did the update today following Esther's info on how to go the app Store and press update. In the notes there id did mention pasting as a fix, at least I think I read that, But, still not working for me. I like the app but that cut and paste would be very very helpful.

Re: think I got paste to work was : type2phone
Hi Gigi, Type2phone lets you use your mac to control and type into your i device. By having the paste work you can easily move text from the mac to any application on the i device that has a edit field. You are correct that you can type a note on the Mac and it can appear in the notes app on the i device, Actually I did a podcast for Applevis that demonstrates that. But, if you then want the text in a different app you need to cut and paste it in. With the function of cut and paste working on type2phone you not only have a working alternative to a bluetooth keyboard for your i device but you also have the advantage of being able to move text created on or existing on the Mac directly to any text field on the i device. For me this means that I could type up a recipe on my Mac, or simply copy a existing one and then paste it directly into the text field of a item in List Recorder. Or, my Senior presentation could be pasted right into my presentations list under my work list. This would certainly improve productivity in many apps. Hope this explanation explains better how this is different then using Notes. eric Caron On Jul 14, 2012, at 6:33 AM, Gigi wrote: > > Hi guys > I guess I missed something here, but what is the advantage of this type to > program over notes?

Mountain Lyon and VM users please report in

How to use a Remote disk drive
Hello Listers, I've seen several references to people using a remote disc drive on another Mac with their Mac Book Air or Mini. And, this will be used more often with the new mac Book Pro that has no CD drive. Can someone familiar with this process describe the steps needed? In my case I have a mini and a mac book. I will also soon have another mac that doesn't have a disk drive, and it would be helpful to be able to leave the superdrive connected to one computer or just use the one on the old mac book for all the computers. I do see Remote Disk on my mini desk top but when I try to open it my finder goes busy. This is probably because I don't have a monitor on the mini yet. Thanks for your tips.

Re: update for speakable items less enthused but working on it
Hi Iona and others, I'm so glad you posted this update about speakable items randomly turning off. I had a play with it today and other then it randomly stopping for no apparent reason I was pretty happy with what it was doing for me. I thought I was doing something wrong but I also have to turn it off and on again to get it to work. If others find ways to keep it on and listening for the key word I'd love to know. holding down a key seems to defeat the purpose for me. If I'm going to have my hand on the keyboard I might as well just navigate that way. Please keep sharing your Speakable items experiences and discoveries. eric Caron On Aug 10, 2012, at 6:46 PM, Ioana Gandrabur wrote: > HI all, > > I am playing around with this feature and find that it often stops working > and I have to turn speakable items on and off and fiddle around.

Error Google drive folder is missing
Hello listers, If anyone out there is successfully using Google Drive with Mountain Lion, I'd be interested in knowing. I have updated two macs and in both cases I get the message in the subject of this email. "Error, Google Drive folder is missing." I did have some trouble with Dropbox on one of the two machines and one worked immediately. It took some time and lots of experimenting but I got Dropbox working now on both machines. With Google Drive I've tried every trick I can think of and nothing has worked. I have tried to find the latest version as at one point it said I was using a out dated version and needed to get the new one. It didn't seem to tell me where to get it though. So I found it with Google and then tried to install with no luck. I then tried increasingly drastic steps finally completely shutting down and Deleting the app. I then deleted the folder from my Mac. I then installed again and yes the same error message shows up in the Mountain Lion Extra's menu. I'm hoping someone can at least confirm Google Drive works in Mountain Lion and if possible give some tips as to how they got it working.

Re: Error Google drive folder is missing
Hi Tim, Thanks for this tip. I'll keep trying now that I know it is working for you. I went to the extras menu for Google Drive and most of the options including preferences are dimmed. I did press quit but that is not the same as signing out. I'm not sure where to sign out and it has not asked me for my credentials when signing in. Currently the folder is visible in my home directory, same level as Dropbox and Desktop and Downloads. Any additional tips very much appreciated. Where do I sign out, for example?

Re: Error Google drive folder is missing
Hi Tim and others, I contacted Google and got a call and a email. It was all the same info that Tim all ready gave me. Sadly I still can't get the Google Drive back up. I never get a new installation and never get to enter my credentials again. I tried the recent suggestions including turn off at log in and it is acting the same way. Thanks for tips and thoughts.

Re: Error Google drive folder is missing
Hi Tim and others, This last suggestion worked! I followed your directions about Finder and deleting the file you pointed me to. I did this on the two mac's I recently updated to Mountain Lion. They are now using Google Drive correctly. Thanks Tim very much for your help problem solving this. I never would have figured out what to do without the clear directions you provided, especially those concerning the Library folders. I've deleted plists in the past but this is the first time I visited this part of my Mac when problem solving. I hope other Google Drive users don't need to follow these steps but if needed this thread provides the answer.

File sharing and permissions problems
Hello Listers, Using the wireless network to share files between computers is truly amazing to me. That i can move files two and from my other computers while on a single computer is like magic. I have spent a lot of time in system preferences in the sharing area trying to get everything working correctly. I've made good progress in having my three mac computers share files. However, I'm wondering if I can increase the access I currently have or if there is a limitation for Voice Over users. I want to be able to share my complete user account on all computers. I set up sharing but for some reason some folders insist on saying "no permission to share" So for example I set up in sharing that file sharing is turned on. I select my HD and give read and write permission. I then can access it just fine for many of the folders but certain ones like Downloads, Music, and some others insist on saying "No Permission to read." and I can't access these folders. Yet others like desktop and all the folders I have created work fine. So, Are others able to set up sharing to work fully with Voice Over? Any tips on getting file sharing to completely work? Even the partially working sharing is very helpful. I'd love to improve things a bit. Currently two of the three computers are using Mountain Lion and I plan to update the other computer soon. they are acting the same with either operating system, Lion or Mountain Lion, though Mountain Lion seems to be easier to work with. Thanks for sharing any successes or similar problems. Tips are greatly appreciated. Eric Caron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: File sharing and permissions problems
Hi Jeff, Thanks for this tip. I learned about this option on a call to Apple support a few weeks ago. I tried changing the permissions there rather then in System Preferences I tried several different times and for the longest time didn't see any success. I still don't have most of the files sharing correctly but one folder on one computer, the Downloads folder, did start to show up as a separate volume and I could share with it. still the same folder in the shared HD folder says "No Permission To Read." and it will not open. Do you have a large user folder shared that is working for all sub folders including downloads, music, movies and such? In the shared area in the info tab I've changed owner to my user account. should it be something else? I think I tried Admin and can try that again. I really appreciate your feedback on this. I have the feeling this powerful tool is not used by many who would find it helpful. It seems pretty straight forward in Mountain Lion System Preferences. That is it seems straight forward but I have only some of the desired files sharing.

Speakable Items staying on
Hi listers, I've been playing with Speakable items a bit and find it is working well for me over all. My major frustration is that if I don't use it for awhile I need to go back to system preferences and turn it off and on again. then it works fine for a time. Later it stops and again I need to turn it back on again. Is anyone else having this problem? anyone found a way to keep it working? I don't want it to be on listen continuously as it will then do unexpected things. I do fine with the key word but then suddenly it stops working and once I turn it off and on it works perfectly again. tips are greatly appreciated.

Re: Blindcooltech
Listers, I've been wondering the same Thing. I have always found great resources and timely information from blindcooltec.com I thought maybe something was wrong with my subscription or iTunes or something.

Re: to do list apps
Hi Becky, My recommendation would be list recorder. You could do your to do lists as either recordings or as a text list as List Recorder does both. It also now has do dates available. I suspect you might find it useful in additional ways for your classes. I use List recorder to organize everything from recorded lectures and meetings to lists of groceries. The app is about $10.00 and is not only voice Over friendly but designed with voice over as a priority. I use this app a lot and it has the priority spot in my dock. Best.

Re: question about List Recorder
Hi Gigi, There are more then one way to do recordings on list Recorder. I'll describe my favorite and maybe this will answer your question. First place yourself in the list you want to add a recording to. Now go to the bottom left corner of the iPhone and you will find the Record New item button. Double tap then wait to here the strum or other sound you chose to indicate you can start speaking. now to end the recording simply use the scrub gesture, two fingers moved back and forth. This will end the recording quietly with no tapping sound and place you back in your list on the item you just recorded. Alternatively if you double tap Record new item then don't touch the screen the focus will be on the pause button. you can double tap to pause the recording. Sound volume will come up and you can explore the screen. in this way you can easily pause and restart a recording in List Recorder. I hope this info helps. eric Caron On Jan 12, 2012, at 6:21 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi guys. > I have a question about List Recorder for the iPhone.

Re: Audacity or amadeus pro?
Hi Ewoud, There is a lite version and full version of Amadeus Pro in the App store. I would recommend going with the Full version. As you develop your skills you will want more of the functions. I found Amadeus Pro to be a solid reliable program and it was easier to use then Audacity on either the Mac or PC platform. Both programs are good but Amadeus Pro is much easier to use with Voice Over, the functions such as labeling tracks is much easier, and more of the advanced functions are accessible. I hope this recommendation helps.

Missing blindcooltech, recommendations?
Listers, It seems as though blindcooltech.com is no longer accepting new podcasts and sending them out. Over the last few years I've learned a great deal from this resource and even posted a few podcasts. I first learned about the Victor Reader stream on this podcast, and as a result was reading audio books long before the US library service provided machines. Thanks to this podcast I learned tricks on the National Library Service machines that make them excellent for studying with audio books and podcasts. The set up was great because it provided a single place for multiple providers to donate demonstrations of technology for other visually impaired persons. The diversity of content and providers was great. So, Where can I now post a podcast for you folks that might be interested in technology? What feeds are you folks using? I'm especially interested in those podcasts provided by users who are sharing their knowledge. It is nice to subscribe to one feed that provides content from many people. It would be less productive to subscribe to multiple individual feeds. Further, I am glad to create podcasts but don't have the knowledge or desire to maintain my own site or podcast feed. I hope there is a feed out there that provides this service now that blindcooltech.com is not. Please share your suggestions.

Re: Missing blindcooltech, recommendations?
Hi Jürgen and others, I don't know Larry from blincooltech.com so I don't know what happened but nothing has come out of blindcooltech.com since September. I did upload a podcast recently and it seemed to go through but after some time it still has not showed up. Also, I did write to Larry through the contact feature on the site and got no answer. Also, a few listers have said that they heard there was a announcement about this but I have not directly heard it. So, I'm wondering what I'm missing from those who normally post there. Also, I have some demonstrations I've done and have no way to share them. At least not in the comprehensive way that I could with blindcooltech.com. Currently, I have several demonstrations that show new users how to get more out of list Recorder but don't know where to post them. I just spent over a hour mastering the Reminders App with voice over and planned to do a podcast to save people time but again where would I I post it? eRic Caron On Jan 29, 2012, at 3:18 PM, Jürgen Fleger wrote: > Honnestly: I'm missing Blindcooltech as well.

Re: very bad impression about 10.7.3 was Re: 10.7.3 is out!
Hi William, You and I have the same Mac Book. I noticed that when I opened Mail it was not working correctly. I also notice my hard drive was busy. I waited a chunk of time and when my hard drive stopped working Mail was ready to go. I noticed when I opened iCal for the first time it also did some quick work before it was ready. So I think if you open the application and wait a bit everything will sort itself out. Well anyway that is what happened here with the same Mac Book.

Re: Funny Siri story
OK, I don't know how helpful these are to iPhone users but I have a Siri story too. I'm not making this up. First, I sometimes have trouble with Siri commands because Voice Over will be talking and Siri thinks this is part of what I'm asking. The other day, at work no less, this happened. My laughter brought in co workers and I was embarrassed to tell them what happened. I asked some innocent conversion question but Voice over was talking. Siri spoke bak the question as"No sex tonight?" Then while I was still recovering from that surprise question she answered. "No, probably not." Only my questioning co workers presence in my doorway got me to stop laughing and wonder how I was going to explain myself out of this mess. In a effort to make this thread list worthy, I have a tip. I learned listening to the Vision Australia podcasts that once Siri is activated a two finger double tap will act like tapping the Siri button. I find this reduces errors including embarrassing ones.
