question about mac for the blind?

Hi all, I am wondering what will become of John's resources? The site remains one of the first places I send any new mac / voiceover user, especially if running an older machine. Thanks much, Karen

Re: Anyone else constantly having to re-pair their Meta glasses with their iPhone?

If your glasses do not seem to re-pare, do the following; it works for me. 1. Take them off your face. 2. Turn them over and close the temples/arms 3. Open the arms and put them back on. That always works for me. That is, of course, until today when I let both the glasses an case totally discha

I also look forward to USB-C with my next upgrade. At that point, both the iPhone and the Mac will be entirely USB-C. From: 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries Sent: Sunday, February 2, 2025 19:08 To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Article on

Re: Article on computer vision features in iOS18.3

I was not planning for Apple Intelligence, I'm just happy to have got it incidentally. At the time I bought my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I wanted USB-C, the faster transfer rates over that port, and Wi-Fi 6E. In general I upgrade when there's a desirable feature for me, which generally means once every

Re: Article on computer vision features in iOS18.3

I have an iPhone XS. When it ceases to be supported by the latest iOS release, then the time to upgrade will have come. The improvements in each new device are incremental, but they eventually become substantial enough to make upgrading worthwhile. Of course, other people have different upgradi

Re: Article on computer vision features in iOS18.3

Hi! SO it does not even work on 15 pro max? I haven’t read the article. But I guess I can’t use it anyway because Europe And Sweden is not prio 1 for apple. We ar prio 1000. Thats jut my opinion. /A > 2 feb. 2025 kl. 23:32 skrev 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries > : > > There's noth

Re: Article on computer vision features in iOS18.3

There's nothing wrong with convenience! But someone who has a 15 Pro Max might reasonably want to know if this particular 16 exclusive is worth the upgrade. Me, for instance. Unless it can be made to work offline, I think I'll probably wait in the wings for the next big upgrade. -- The follow

And what’s wrong with added convenience? Also, having options is always a good thing. Donna > On Feb 2, 2025, at 11:19 AM, 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > So the question is: is it giving you anything you can't already get from > existing apps, apart perhaps from a bi

Yeah. I didn’t use Seeing AI since you had specifically asked about visual Intelligence. Cheers, Donna > On Feb 2, 2025, at 9:26 AM, 'Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Thank you. More specialized tools such as Seeing AI prompt you to orient the > document so that the entire

Re: Article on computer vision features in iOS18.3

Thank you. More specialized tools such as Seeing AI prompt you to orient the document so that the entire page is in the image before processing it. Perhaps this feature will be added by Apple to its in-built functionality, but we don’t know what their accessibility plans are in that area. From:

Re: Anyone else constantly having to re-pair their Meta glasses with their iPhone?

Hi Janina, First, sorry for all those question marks where apostrophes are supposed to be. I didn’t type those, so I have no idea what happened there. Second, Just fyi, it is really easy to take a video without talking to the glasses. You just double-tap and hold on the touchpad. I’ve done i

Re: Anyone else constantly having to re-pair their Meta glasses with their iPhone?

Hi Donna: Thanks for validating my disappointments with the Meta glasses. I really appreciate knowing I'm not the lone stranger in my conclusions! :) There's one more thing I should have said, and it's kind of a big deal for me ... I became tired of always need to talk to the glasses to get them
