Re: digital tv's, was Re: [TechTalk] TV Radios With Digital TV Audio
If you are asking if they can get over air
broadcasts, all televisions made now can. that is the new broadcast
standard.

Hi Gene,
That's what I meant, do the tv's that Gerald mentioned have to have anything
extra attached to them to get the digital channels? I'm guessing yes but
not being that familiar with the newer technology I'm not sure.

If
you buy one from m electronics they’ll send you a manual that you can read
that will explain how to set one up. Pretty easy.
Do the digital tv's that Gerald Levy spoke of work out of the box so to
speak, after they're set up that is, or do you have to have a cable connection
or something like that?
Since Spectrum is requiring a digital box now to watch their service, and
since it's a monthly fee I've been trying to find a way to get away from
them. A friend has recommended an external hd antenna, but I don't know
anybody who could put one up for me and besides I'd hate to get one and then
reception not be good because of trees and because I live near an airport, but
it sounds like one of these digital tv's may just work if it's not too
difficult to set up and use.

Hi Gene,
Thanks for this information. I am wondering: does this unit have an input
for an external/roof mount antenna? I have a roof mount antenna and I
would think that the signal strength would be greatly enhanced if it could
be used.

but I think its worth the money.
Aside from being able to do scans independently, the
radio also has an audible signal strength indicator. This is
important since you can't determine signal strength with digital reception
as you can with analog reception, by moving the antenna around and
comparing results of sound quality easily. If the antenna isn't well
placed, digital stations may appear to be coming in fine but may
unexpectedly have interruptions. This appears to be more important
than might otherwise be thought because, it appears to me, that weather
conditions can significantly effect signal strength even of reasonably
close stations. I can't account for the change of signal strength
that occurs when I compare on different days. For a number of days
or longer, the signal of a station may be the same and then, it may change
significantly. If the change is for the worse, what was good
reception may degrade significantly, with a lot of interruptions.
Then, after many days, the signal may improve again. But it is
important to be able to adjust antenna position to compensate for the
degraded reception that may occur if the signal becomes weaker for a
time.
Not to mention that different stations may come in
better with different antenna positions. I consider the audible
signal indicator to be perhaps the most important adaptive feature of the
radio, perhaps more important than the ability to scan
independently.

Hi Group,
I
think this may have been discussed a long time ago on this list, but I
am not sure. I am wondering if there are any good radios
that will
receive the audio from the current digital television
stations. I have
an old converter that is (as it turns out)
malfunctioning. Attempts by
me and sighted helpers to scan for
new channels does not work. That is
to say the menu cursor won't
change using the remote.
For this reason, i am interested in
any radios for the newer digital TV
format that would be similar to
the old analog receivers that received
TV channels in the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [TechTalk] Problem With Directions for Me
Site
I
just went to the directionsforme.org
website on my iPhone using Safari & had no trouble when I entered the word
chicken into the search field. I was presented with over 500 products.
For
the past week or so, the Directions for Me web site does not seem to
be working. No matter what I enter in the search field, I get some
kind of weird error page. Has anyone else noticed problems with
Directions for Me? Is it possible that this very useful site for
finding accessible cooking directions for thousands of products has been
shut down or permenantly disabled? Thanks for any
feedback.

I don’t know, because it has been said on the list that the keyboard is
only to insert text, not to use for dialing phone numbers. If you find out
otherwise, then good. But if it is only to insert text, then you are stuck
with a touch screen for everything else. I hope I’m wrong.

Re: Problem With Directions for Me Site
You made the same gloomy worst case speculation
before when the site was temporarily down awhile ago. Why do you insist on
making such worst case speculations with no meaningful evidence?
Also, are you using an ad blocker or anything that
might somehow be causing the site to behave not as expected? What
antimalware programs are you using? I am beginning to suspect that the
browser used has nothing to do with the problem. Security software or an
ad blocker or something else may be causing it. I don't use Internet
Explorer except very rarely and I haven't uppgraded it. But the site still
works with IE8. I've tested now with Firefox, the current ESR version, and
with IE8 and the site behaved as expected.

Re: [TechTalk] Problem With Directions for Me
Site
I
just went to the directionsforme.org
website on my iPhone using Safari & had no trouble when I entered the word
chicken into the search field. I was presented with over 500 products.
For
the past week or so, the Directions for Me web site does not seem to
be working. No matter what I enter in the search field, I get some
kind of weird error page. Has anyone else noticed problems with
Directions for Me? Is it possible that this very useful site for
finding accessible cooking directions for thousands of products has been
shut down or permenantly disabled? Thanks for any
feedback.

Re: Problem With Directions for Me Site
Okay, problem fixed. Apparently, I was accessing an old version of
the Directions for Me home page from my IE Favorites list. So I accessed
Directions for Me directly from the Google results page, and lo and behold, it
works fine. I was able to get results for a number of different products
and did not encounter the previously described error message. So I deleted
the old Directions for Me entry on my Favorites list, and replaced it with this
apparently updated version, and everything is hunky dory again. BTW, Who
was hunky dory anyway?

opening to the specific product page “Peas & Carrots” to get heating &

I’m using Safari with the latest IOS 11.x.x I’m not sure if the “experimental

can not.
I just searched using Firefox 52x ESR with JAVA

Re: sharing a flip phone for the blind running Android.
Definitely advice well taken. Does either have a phone dial
with buttons or just the keyboard for texts and other
entries?
I am thinking maybe in November or December, when my carrier
offers deals, plus there will probably be an upgrade for
Android, that is when I will get one.
I believe that once I knew, but what is the difference in
the Priv and the KeyOne?
I have to have an SD card, I believe with my carrier,
Consumer Cellular, which runs on GSM.
Best regards,
Carolyn

Sis Carolyn, since you're considering an Android phone,
please take a good look at Blackberry Priv or Blackberry
KeyOne. These are in the mainstream and they'll give you
better specs than any of these others supposedly designed
for the blind.
Used and new Privs are available at amazon.com starting out
at $199.99, a brand-new one is pegged at $249.99.
The KeyOne is still coming in at about $498 also from
amazon.com.
Both smartphones are factory unlocked, good for AT&T and
TMobile or any other service provider on the GSM network.
Better internal storage space and, if memory serves, I think
they do have SD card slots as well though that may not be
too important to you. The battery in these phones has an
mAh of over 3,000; they'll walk more miles than any of the
so-called nonsense out there specifically designed for the
blind. If a smartphone in the mainstream has better specs
and gives you more mileage for the bucks paid, why settle
for junk just because it has been developed specifically
with BLIND accessibility in mind? Yes, they'll run Talkback
ok.
One more thing you'd love about these phones: They have
REAL buttons, alongside the trusted touchscreen which you
can ignore. Yes, it'll take some getting used to, but I
don't believe for a second that this will be a problem for
you.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share these. Perhaps you could
visit a phone store near you to see if they have the Priv in
stock so you can play with it for a bit before grabbing one.
It's a great phone in the mainstream with, as noted here,
much, much better specs than the junk from Capsys or Ray L5.
And whilst at it, please grab three: Santa and I are on
vacation now, but you never know, we could JUST SNEAK back
in through your chimney and grab our presents! All the
best, God bless.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado

Re: sharing a flip phone for the blind running Android.
I don't want to be the first to buy any phone like that or the Kapsys. When I hear about someone having one and how it functions, then I could be led to getting one, probably more likely the Kapsys than the Toogee. It could be that we all feel that way, which certainly would be a distribution problem for either phone.
One thing that I liked about the Eyes-Free list is that there were videos and posts with information about the success people were having with their phones.
Best regards,
Carolyn

receiving an error message when trying to search for a product on Directions for
Me using IE 11,means that I am not the only one encountering this problem.

Site
I just tried doing a search on directionsforme.org just to confirm for
myself that indeed the website still works for me. And yes the website
still works. I went as far as searching for a brand name “Green Giant” &
opening to the specific product page “Peas & Carrots” to get heating &
nutritional info. So not sure why the website works for some & not others.
I’m using Safari with the latest IOS 11.x.x I’m not sure if the “experimental
Features” in Settings, Safari, Advanced, Experimental Features the default
settings has anything to do with me to be able to use the website & others
can not.
I just searched using Firefox 52x ESR with JAVA
scripts enabled and got proper results. I don't know what accounts for
different results.

Well,
using either IE 11 or Firefox 52 ESR, this is what I get when I type “chicken”

Re: [TechTalk] Problem With Directions for Me
Site
I
just went to the directionsforme.org
website on my iPhone using Safari & had no trouble when I entered the word
chicken into the search field. I was presented with over 500 products.
For
the past week or so, the Directions for Me web site does not seem to
be working. No matter what I enter in the search field, I get some
kind of weird error page. Has anyone else noticed problems with
Directions for Me? Is it possible that this very useful site for

The only difference between a BrailleNote and a VoiceNote is that a BrailleNote has a braille display whereas a VoiceNote doesn't. Obviously, you can't turn speech off on a VoiceNote due to the lack of a braille display.

A codeplug is nothing more than a fancy name for a data file containing frequencies, splits, talkgroup identification, etc., that you create on a computer and send to the radio via USB.
The GD77S software accessibility leaves a lot to be desired, but with a little dinking around with your screenreader of choice, it's workable.

I have been thinking of buying this radio, but not sure if as a blind person, i would be able to access the radio.
I realise it all depends on the software available, and the screen reader you use to work with the software.
I'm new to DMR and would like to learn more. I know very little. Question for instance. What is a codeplug and how would you use it. I take it is a piece of software.
It would be great if you could help/advise, Billy

There are many people on the blind hams list who are into this. I took a look at a relatively new radio, the GD77S (S for Speech) software to find out about its accessibility, and I learned two things. One, once or if you can get it to work with your particular screenreader, it can be used successfully; two, the same screenreader on different machines has been shown to produce different levels of access.
The programs for these things are written by people with not the first clue about accessibility. However, once you get your codeplug into the radio, they they appear to work well.
