Your memory has served you well... That's exactly how it is done. It will 
next ask you what you'd like to sync, mail, calendar & contacts. You check 
or uncheck which or not you'd like synced. Then hit done. The syncing 
process takes a few minutes.

Hi Chris

From memory, you add a new account in Settings, Mail, calendar and contacts. 
Choose exchange as the type rather than Google. Next put in your email / 
username and password. Leave the domain blank. Press Next. It will say that 
it is verifying and come back an ask for the server. Put in  m.google.com
This should get you up and running. Sorry this is only from memory, hope it 
right.

Re: Question about Audioboo app and uploads

2012-03-21 Thread Sean Paul
The newer version of the audioboo app which was released a couple of weeks a 
go has supposedly fixed the issue of not being able to see whether or not 
boos are being uploaded. I have the newer version of the app but haven't 
tried posting a boo here lately to see if it works as told or not.

Hi,
I use an app called Menutab pro available from the App store. What's 
good with this app is that you can both get the mobile and the desktop 
versions of Facebook in the app and toggle between them as you like. The 
buttons are now clearly labeled and the app, although in the menus 
normally only reachable by using the physical mouse has a short cut key 
(by default it's control+f) to reach the app.

I like it very much.

Hi,
I have recently discovered the plethora of fb aps for the IPhone, so I 
was wondering are the same aps apply for the Mac, or are there similar 
versions? I just go to the m.facebook webpage currently, but wondered 
if I could make it easier for myself.

Thanks.
Kirsten.

Re: podcast question

2014-01-29 Thread Sean Paul
You are not able to send Youtube videos to iTunes, iTunes does not house 
audio or video podcasts. iTunes is just a search reposatory for podcasts & 
will take an RSS feed. It will then check the RSS feed frequently for new & 
updated content. You are not able to download Youtube videos. I'd suggest 
that you get a media host such as Libsyn or Blubrry for media hosting. These 
services will then give you an RSS feed which you are then able to submit to 
iTunes. You may also use the powerpress plugin if you're a wordpress user, 
then upload your content to archive.org, grab the imbed link from them, 
paste that in to powerpress then submit a RSS feed from your wordpress site 
to iTunes. Yes, allot of information presented here, I know. In closing, 
keep in mind that your web hosting & media hosting are 2 different animals. 
Most web hosting will not allow you to send streamed content from them 
reguardless of what some may tell you... Have to read the fine print on 
them...

Re: podcast question

2014-01-29 Thread Sean Paul
Yes, Youtube does not generate an RSS feed & will not allow you to download 
videos. There is a work around for this... But, much to complacated to get 
in to here. &, involves the use of google hangouts on air. If you're just 
wanting to post the youtube videos on your site, you can do that by 
imbedding them in your posts. Simply by taking the direct link from the 
video & imbedding it when you write your post. Wordpress will then generate 
a video player with them. There are also other wordpress plugins which will 
generate much nicer youtube players... This will only give your end users 
the ability to watch the video on your site & not do anything else with it. 
If you're wanting the ability for others to download them or get them in a 
podcatcher, yes, you will need to reupload the post. & use powerpress. 
Again, this will require some media hosting as you are not able to take that 
video from Youtube. Really need to figure out exactly what you're wanting to 
do with them here. Powerpress is very accessible, you will need to get in to 
its guts & make some setting changes. Probably drifting way off topic for 
this list now. So, probably be a good idea to contact me off list for 
further podcasting type questions & I'll be more than glad to walk with you 
in the set up process. I do not, nor have I ever done video podcasting, but, 
I'm well versed in audio podcasting. By using powerpress it's vertually the 
same whether you're doing video or audio.

Re: video blogging

2014-04-18 Thread Sean Paul
You can use blubrry which you can find at blubrry.com or you can also use 
libsyn which can be found at libsyn.com. Both of these sites are for media 
hosting & do produce an RSS feed which you than submit to iTunes. &, both 
allow the uploading of video content as well as audio content. One of the 
real draw backs to video blogging, video podcasting, etc. As aposed to just 
audio blogging, podcasting, etc. Is that it takes a great deal of space to 
upload those videos verses an audio file. Both media hosting companies 
listed above have monthly plans. But, you're probably going to need the 
higher plans verses the cheapper plans which they do offer. I'd say that 
you'd probably get much better results just by using Youtube for your 
videos. No, they do not produce an RSS feed which you can submit to iTunes. 
However, this hosting is cheap, infact, it's free. Also, a great number of 
people search youtube for video content since it's a video content site. 
Also, it's the number 2 most used search engine in the world. Just one man's 
opinion, &, yes, sometimes I do get paid for it.

  I recall a time not so long ago when i devices first became accessible, 
everyone thinking how that was going to level the playing field.  It’s funny 
how quickly perspectives change.


  Now the bar has been raised even higher.  The playing field will not be level 
until blind people have access to every cheep piece of crap in existence.
  I should say that I’m happy with what Apple does and I have no desire to use 
anything else.  That said however, I certainly think that it would be a very 
good think if other companies would realize the importance of opening their 
products up to other segments of society and not excluding them.  I just don’t 
think that this is going to convince them.


  I don’t want to completely let Apple off the hook as it seems to me at times 
that there are factions under their roof that don’t seem to understand the 
importance of accessibility or what Voiceover is even used for.  On the other 
hand, I think that there is a much larger faction at Apple that definitely gets 
it and that the evidence to support this is over whelming.  I realize that not 
every body can listen to them, but there were some very impressive sessions at 
WWDC on the importance of accessibility and how easy it really is to not only 
make an app usable to a blind person, but make it a nice experience to use.


  I would like to suggest, that just maybe, if a government agency needs to 
step in to private inderestry and dictate to a company how their product is 
required to function, the result probably won’t be something you are going to 
want to use.


  I think that we as a blind community have access to more information then at 
any other time in history.  And, while things can always be better, maybe some 
gratitude is in order for the really good things that some companies like Apple 
have done.

  Request for Comment on Petition for Class Waiver of Accessibility 
Rules for ACS



  On August 1, 2013, the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) 
released a Public Notice requesting comment on a petition filed by the 
Coalition of E-Reader Manufacturers. The Coalition requests that the Commission 
waive its rules requiring equipment used for advanced communications services 
(ACS) to be accessible by people with disabilities. The Coalition states that, 
although e-readers are equipment that consumers can use for ACS, they are 
designed primarily for reading.



  To distinguish e-readers from tablets and other devices that would 
not be subject to the waiver request, the Coalition requests a waiver for 
e-readers that have the following features:



  (1) they have no LCD screen;
  (2) they have no camera;
  (3) they are not offered or shipped to consumers with built-in ACS 
client applications and their manufacturers do not develop ACS applications for 
their respective devices, though the devices may include a browser and social 
media applications; and

Re: good wireless mic for dictation?

2013-08-27 Thread Sean Paul
I'm assuming that since you asked this question on this list, we're talking 
about a Mac user? I'd suggest an Audio Technica ATR2100 Mic. This mic is a 
very good quality mic for not alot of buck. In fact, this is the mic which 
has made waves in the podcast community over the last year or so. In fact, 
I've taken to using it as a mic in my home studio for recording my news & 
traffic reports as well as in the field for conducting interviews with, 
which are aired on 4 radio stations. For dictation, you're really interested 
in a dynamic mic, this sort of mic is one which you'll need to talk directly 
in to commonly used in the broadcast industry, this sort of mic cuts out 
background noise, around you noise. verses what a normal USB mic is which is 
a condenser mic. Condensers are mostly used in larger invernments for 
grabbing a greater amount of ambiance & noise during a broadcast. &, they're 
also less expensive to manufacturer. Not going to go more overboard in 
technical specs of mics than that. If you're more interested, you're more 
than welcome to write me off list. Also, if you're interested in hearing 
this mic in action. You may also write me as well. Yes, the neat thing about 
the 2100 is that it is both a USB & an XLR connection mic & both can be in 
use at the same time. Also, the mic comes with a headphone jack on it's 
bottom/back for monitoring your output audio if not being run through a 
mixer. I'd bring this mic to any mic fight & put it up against any of the 
big boys from Heil, Sure or Electro-Voice. No, I don't sell these mics or 
work for Audio Technica in any way. I just like this mic at its price point. 
Which is now down to around 40 dollars on Amazon. Put a good pop filter on 
it as you should with any dynamic mic & you're off & running.

Hi all,
I am working with someone who uses Dragon on a daily basis, but has only a

well with this low-quality mic, so I'm hoping to suggest a better one. 
Ideally, it would be either bluetooth or RF, include one or two speakers, 
and have voice prompts. I am leaning toward the Blue Parrot, since it has 
A2DP, voice prompts, a single button, and good range, plus is relatively 
inexpensive and has a score of 4 from Nuance. However, I am quite happy to 
take other recommendations for good microphones that do noise-canceling, are 
wireless headsets, and, if possible, have voice prompts. This is a bit 
off-topic, I realize, but I know some of you do a lot of dictation so I 
figured here was a good place to ask this. Also, I am hoping to one day 
convert this person to the Mac, so there's that. :) Thanks for any advice.

Oh, &, yes. I did notice your subject line here. However, I'd totally agree

There is to much noise in them, to much background noise which will cause

Unfortunately, due to physical limitations, the client must have either a 
wireless microphone or a laptop with a wired microphone, and the wireless 
option would be much cheaper and easier. I saw many mics listed on Dragon's 
website as having good dictation, and they were all wireless, so I'm hoping 
that the right mic will work. As I said, I'd like to use a USB mic, but that 
is simply impossible in this situation, unfortunately. The IVX mics I'm 
looking at offer an in-home free trial, so that, coupled with the voice 
prompts and 94% cancellation of background noise (so they claim), makes this 
a ver attractive option. Plus, this model is not $300 to $500 like many I 
saw while researching, and I'd like to keep costs down for the client if I 
can. Finally, this model offers 20 hours of talk time, which is remarkable 
in a bluetooth audio device. I have no experience in microphones at all, so 
was hoping people knew of some good ones or some to stay away from as I 
decide on a recommendation to give the client.

will cause most dictation to be lost & have to be done over & over again. 
Unless you're willing to spend 1000 1500 dollars on a good set of wireless 
mics, don't waist your time with them.

Subject: Re: good wireless mic for dictation?


I'm assuming that since you asked this question on this list, we're 
talking about a Mac user? I'd suggest an Audio Technica ATR2100 Mic. This 
mic is a very good quality mic for not alot of buck. In fact, this is the 
mic which has made waves in the podcast community over the last year or 
so. In fact, I've taken to using it as a mic in my home studio for 
recording my news & traffic reports as well as in the field for 
conducting interviews with, which are aired on 4 radio stations. For 
dictation, you're really interested in a dynamic mic, this sort of mic is 
one which you'll need to talk directly in to commonly used in the 
broadcast industry, this sort of mic cuts out background noise, around 
you noise. verses what a normal USB mic is which is a condenser mic. 
Condensers are mostly used in larger invernments for grabbing a greater 
amount of ambiance & noise during a broadcast. &, they're also less 
expensive to manufacturer. Not going to go more overboard in technical 
specs of mics than that. If you're more interested, you're more than 
welcome to write me off list. Also, if you're interested in hearing this 
mic in action. You may also write me as well. Yes, the neat thing about 
the 2100 is that it is both a USB & an XLR connection mic & both can be 
in use at the same time. Also, the mic comes with a headphone jack on 
it's bottom/back for monitoring your output audio if not being run 
through a mixer. I'd bring this mic to any mic fight & put it up against 
any of the big boys from Heil, Sure or Electro-Voice. No, I don't sell 
these mics or work for Audio Technica in any way. I just like this mic at 
its price point. Which is now down to around 40 dollars on Amazon. Put a 
good pop filter on it as you should with any dynamic mic & you're off & 
running.

Hi all,
I am working with someone who uses Dragon on a daily basis, but has only 
a bluetooth headset meant for a phone. Needless to say, Dragon does not 
do well with this low-quality mic, so I'm hoping to suggest a better one. 
Ideally, it would be either bluetooth or RF, include one or two speakers, 
and have voice prompts. I am leaning toward the Blue Parrot, since it has 
A2DP, voice prompts, a single button, and good range, plus is relatively 
inexpensive and has a score of 4 from Nuance. However, I am quite happy 
to take other recommendations for good microphones that do 
noise-canceling, are wireless headsets, and, if possible, have voice 
prompts. This is a bit off-topic, I realize, but I know some of you do a 
lot of dictation so I figured here was a good place to ask this. Also, I 
am hoping to one day convert this person to the Mac, so there's that. :) 
Thanks for any advice.

Re: Looking for information on accessible event

2013-08-29 Thread Sean Paul
Heyya Mike. I'm not certain at all this would be a good podcasting solution. 
You'd have to create an event, send an envite code, also, not sure how many 
people you can have on the event line, etc which will greatly reduce your 
listenership I'd think. I'd consider looking in to audioboo's 30 minute plan 
which will cost you 8 or so dollars a month. You can send your audioboos 
directly to your site with an enbedded player. The down side to this method 
is it forces your listeners to consume your content on your site & doesn't 
allow them to download it if they're using a computer. If using a  podcast 
client which they've your podcast RSS in. They can download or stream your 
content. If you believe current stats within the podcasting community, 
people still come to media tipe sites & listen there & don't download things 
anyway, only about 15% actually download & listen in something such as 
windows media, real player, etc. So, perhaps this isn't or won't be a deal 
breaker. If they want to subscribe to your podcasts RSS, they can & download 
the content either on their computer or mobile device. This is the method 
which I've chosen at least for the time being. Not sure I'll stick with it 
as if my podcast grows in popularity or I want to do something longer than 
30 minutes, I'll have to break in to 2 or more parts. Which may or may not 
be a deal breaker either. As I think much past 30 minutes & you start to 
loos peoples attention anyway. & studies in the podcast world show that most 
US citizens have roughly a 30 minute commute, which allows them to listen at 
their leasure.
You may also want to look in to Blubrry or Libsyn which are media hosts 
which offer a meriod of different price plans & price points. If you chose 
either of these, you can use the blubrry power press plugin if you're using 
wordpress as your site CMS. Power press is a great option for creating posts 
that give you an imbedded player, creats good tags for iTunes, creats a 
podcast RSS, etc. Power press will create a special podcast RSS feed which I 
suggest podcasters do anyway so that subscribers can get that content & not 
all your sites content if they don't want it & it's good for iTunes as well, 
as iTunes will hickup bigtime if there's written content in the same feed 
that produces audio. Same goes for stitcher if you intend to submit your 
content to them.
The last option you may want to consider is archive.org. It's free, but, 
very, very, very slow on the download & upload side. &, a real pain to get 
content in to it as you have to jump through hoops to get it to take your 
file. This is a case where free certainly ain't worth it. Your time is more 
valuable to you than the money may be here. You can also stick your media 
file RSS in to power press in wordpress & have it work there as well.
I get asked all the time. Why can't I just host my media files on the web 
hosting I already have? If you read your web hosts terms of service. Most of 
them will tell you straite out that media hosting is not allowed on their 
shared hosting plans. Trust me, I've asked a number of them & so have other 
podcasters in the podcast sfear. & the other issue here is that. If you're 
using shared hosting which most of us do. You can really slow the download 
down to not only your site, but, all the other sites on the same server. 
Hope that this helps, sure you'll get other answers. Good luck whichever 
rout you choose to take. If you have further questions & I've gone off the 
rails here on the list, please feel free to write me off of it.

Hi everybody,

I have heard that accessible event would be a possible solution for 
broadcasting a podcast. Does anybody know if this will work or is it more 
than a simple audio podcast would need?
I have looked into other services like blog talk but they are too 
expensive and the accessibility is questionable.


I appreciate any advice.

Well, I'm on my way to solving this problem on my own. Instead of placing

a link to these files on dropbox from within my posts.
I checked out  some other blogs from lists members, and that seems to be a

a pre-October 2012 dropbox account, so I have a public folder. The context

Now I just have to research creating links in posts using Marsedit - it'll

I'm not sure what's going on there. I understand that you have an older drop

understand that they're blocking this sort of file on any user account. I'd 
suggest trying it with another audio link if you have one to see if that 
solves the problem. If not, then we can go from there in trying to figure 
out what is going on. Also, give me a link to your direct post so I can see

Hi,

Not to sound discouraging but, I honestly don't know how many really share 
this concern.  I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either.  One could mute 
speech with a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off all 
together with a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on when 
receiving an incoming call or, just want access to the phone.  You could 
even turn down the volume of voiceover so it would be hard to hear if not 
holding the device in your hand.  But I must say, of all bugs I want fixed, 
or features I want to see added, This wouldn't even make my top 10.


But, who knows?  I might be in the minority on this topic.  Hopefully your

It should be possible to make this optional, with the ability to manually

Moreover, why is it that when we have a headphone connected, the caller ID

I personally think 20 bucks for 8 months of intertainment is a steal of a deal. 
Most folks pay 5 times that a month for just their cable alone not to mention

Re: Automatic caller ID announcement, an important privacy issue with VoiceOver on iPhone

2013-03-04 Thread Sean Paul

Seriously?
I don't think most sighted people that you come in contact with can even 
understand voiceover nor do they even care who is calling you. Again, at 
least we have the ability to have caller ID unlike when cell phones first 
came out. What if you have a home phone line & a talking caller ID box 
hooked up to it & someone is over at your house visiting is it any real big 
deal if they hear it? Are you going to go cut it off because you're afraid 
that they may hear it & have some sort of issue with who's calling you? I 
dare say those things are much easier to understand than any voiceover is... 
I certainly don't think so. What is a big deal to me is that we have the 
ability to have caller id, text messaging capabilities, web browsing, email, 
etc on our mobile devices which puts us at least on a somewhat level playing 
field with our sighted piers. I'd bet if you asked most sighted folks they 
wouldn't even care if someone saw their caller id...  Probably wouldn't have 
an issue if it were flashed up on some bilboard somewhere. I think there are 
much bigger fish to fry in the accessibility world than this one. Again, 
just be thankful that Apple cared enough about those of us who are visually 
impaired to give us something like voiceover.  Just one man's opinion & yes, 
sometimes I do get paid for it.

Hi,

How exactly do you think you are being constructive here?

On the same register as your message, don't you think sighted people would 
have an issue if their caller ID were flashed on a billboard for everyone to 
see every time they get a call?


It goes without saying that it is great we have access to caller ID. What is 
not so great is that it is announced out loud automatically for every one in 
your immediate surroundings to hear.


I know that blind people sometimes have a hard time acknowledging the 
presence of other people who can see and hear. I like using my phone in a 
rather discrete fashion with a Bluetooth earpiece. I personally find it 
annoying that incoming calls make Samantha irrupt through my speakerphone 
and freak out the fellow traveller who is sitting right across from me. :) I 
don't quite like being the subject of other's curiosity. They suddenly have 
to acknowledge that there is a blind guy in the house.


I am happy for you if you don't consider it to be an issue. I guess it 
depends on a multitude of settings and appreciate your opinion.


However, I still believe I have a valid point here. There is no reason for 
us to broadcast the name and number of people who are calling us.


Cheers

Hi,

Not to sound discouraging but, I honestly don't know how many really share 
this concern.  I'm not so sure it's unavoidable either.  One could mute 
speech with a 3 finger double tap when not in use or, turn Voiceover off 
all together with a 3 triple press of home, and turn either back on when 
receiving an incoming call or, just want access to the phone.  You could 
even turn down the volume of voiceover so it would be hard to hear if not 
holding the device in your hand.  But I must say, of all bugs I want 
fixed, or features I want to see added, This wouldn't even make my top 10.


But, who knows?  I might be in the minority on this topic.  Hopefully your 
message will urge others with the same concerns to contact Apple about it.

Hi list,

I remember reporting this a while ago to Apple Accessibility… To no 
avail.
VoiceOver users have an unavoidable privacy issue: the automatic 
announcement of the caller ID of an incoming call.
It should be possible to make this optional, with the ability to manually 
interrogate the screen to know who is calling.


Moreover, why is it that when we have a headphone connected, the caller 
ID is still spoken out loud through the speakerphone?


What do we have to do for Apple to take this into consideration? A 
petition?

You should be able to do this if you download the WatchESPN App from the App 
store & are a subscriber to certain cable or satellite services, I'm not 
sure which ones they support you'll have to look @ the App details to see. I 
do know that the App supports the watching of ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU & ESPN3. 
Good luck.

Hi guys:
My dad is *borrowing* my iPad2, and he wants to watch live college 
football. How can he do this? ESPN 3, isn't working on iPad2. Any 
thoughts?

Re: creating podcast feed, was Finder Podcast Part 1

Be aware that using dropbox to host & distribute  a media file is against 
their terms of service... &, may result in either your account being 
suspended or terminated all together. May want to look in to some media 
hosting instead. Libsyn or Blubrry are good places to start. There are costs 
involved with using them both. But, they are both built for downloading 
media content. Also may consider using archive.org which is a free service. 
However, uploading is a real pain & downloading for the end user is a very 
slow process. One of those, you get what you pay for... Couple of other paid 
options may be sound cloud & audioboom. If I can help further please feel 
free to write me off list newsandtraf...@gmail.com

Dear List,
A while back, I posted a message about creating a podcast feed 
automatically using folder actions.

Well, after trying, I could not get it to work.
so I whent back to the drawing board and found a web site that will 
generate the feed for you.

All you have to do is register for a free account.
enter the link to your podcast files add titles and descriptions then 
download the feed that it will generate.
Now upload the feed to your web site that hosts your podcast and you are 
ready.

I have been testing DropBox to host my podcast and so far its going well.
If you have more questions, email me off list.

Distrubuting your content amongst friends is perfectly fine. What is not 
fine is distributing it as a podcast, on twitter for the world to get, etc. 
The sourse of my information is their terms of service & contact a friend of 
mine who was using them as a distribution platform had with their people. 
I'm not going to take the time to read articles, I've read their terms of 
service & I'm well sure of the foot I stand on here.

Hi Sean,

Could you perhaps post the source of your information? I was always under 
the impression that sharing your own content was absolutely permitted in the 
Dropbox TOS, and in fact is one of the core features of the service.


Here is an article where Dropbox specifically tells you how to create shared 
links to distribute files to others: 
https://blog.dropbox.com/2012/04/share-your-stuff-with-a-link/


Here is another article where Dropbox discusses troubleshooting shared 
links. They specifically state that you can share content like photos and 
music that you personally created: https://www.dropbox.com/help/45


In this article, Dropbox says that shared links for free accounts can 
generate up to 20 gigabytes per day or 100,000 total downloads before being 
temporarily disabled, while paid accounts get 200 gigabytes per day and no 
hard limit on the number of downloads. https://www.dropbox.com/help/4204


Of course, you can’t share others’ copyrighted content but it sure seems to 
me that Dropbox allows you to share your own content. There may be a clause 
in the acceptable usage policy or in the TOS that prohibits you from using 
Dropbox to host your own podcasts, but I don’t recall seeing such a clause. 
Dropbox is definitely more than just a storage service as sharing and 
collaboration are core features of the product.
