[NFB-Krafters-Korner] OT: iphone app needed

Tue Apr 12 12:18:38 UTC 2022

     I’VE BEEN USING BE MY EYES FOR ROUGHLY TWO YEARS, I HAVE IT ON MY IPAD PRO AND MY CONSUMER CELLULAR CELL PHONE.

     THE ONLY TROUBLE I HAD WAS DISCONNECTING FROM A VOLUNTEER (BEFORE THEY WERE ABLE TO HELP ME) BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE AT AN INDOOR PLAY AREA, I COULD HEAR VERY LOUD MUSIC.

      I SENT FEEDBACK TO THE COMPANY, ASKING THAT VOLUNTEERS ONLY ANSWER A CALL WHEN THEY ARE SOMEPLACE REASONABLY QUIET.

     ALTHOUGH, BEFORE THAT, I DID GET HELP FROM SOMEONE ON AN AIRPLANE, BUT THE AIRPLANE NOISE WAS QUIET, I COULD HEAR THE VOLUNTEER VERY WELL.

    AS FOR THE MANTRA, I AGREE.
    IF SHE DOESN’T DIE OR CHANGE HER MIND IN THE MEANTIME, BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, I’LL BE LIVING WITH MY GERIATRIC MOTHER, NOT SPENDING ROUGHLY 3/4 OF MY INCOME ON RENT.
     THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS I WANT TO BUY, BUT “NOT UNTIL I’M LIVING WITH MY MOTHER.”

SINCERELY,
RUTH

It has worked out just fine since I haven't asked them to read anything sensitive. My mantra these days is, I'll buy that after my roof is paid for. Because of COVID construction is very high. The roof, insulation, and venting cost $20,000. I'll get a small subscription to AIRA when the roof is paid for.

When I first got it, I had wanted it for reading text and found that the way it kept repeating as it read was confusing to me. But I will now use it for the light detector, bar code scaner and color identifier.

>>> Hi to those of you who use iPhones. I recently updated to a new iPhone, the SE, which is the newest model phone that still has a home button and no face recognition. It has good up to date features  in other ways to newer phones. Anyhow, I was disappointed to learn that my light detector app is no longer in the app store, so I no  longer have the ability to see if lights are on or off. I like to put the lights on for our dogs at night.
>>> So, does anyone have an app that includes a light dectector included with it. I know that some apps do but don’t remember which ones.
