Blindshell phone questions
|
Terrilynne Pomeroy
Hi all, I would like more information about using texting with the BlindShell phone. So if you use this phone, I would like to know:
Can you reread a text you have written to make sure it says what you want it to?
Do you have problems reading some texts that you receive?
Can you set the phone up to receive news and similar notifications?
Thanks fo any info,
TerriLynne

While I doubt I'll ever get a Blind Shell Phone because I can do almost everything I want to do with far less expensive phones, one thing I wonder about is the ability to edit text messages. My feature phone allows me to write texts and read them, but I can't have anything spelled when reading, neither can I have text announced if I want to move in a message I am writing to edit it. I can have the message I'm writing read, but not by line or by word, just the message as a whole.

So if there is some problem halfway through, you just delete and repeat?

Not necessarily. If I'm entering text and I made or think I may have made a mistake, I have the message read. Then, since I'm immediately after the mistake, if there is one, I back space until I think I've deleted the error or the word with the error and then I have the message read again. I then write the word again. I may have to go a carachter or two bback until I hear the last carachter of the previous word is missing so I know exactly where I am starting from. I don't want to write the corrected word with no space between the previous word and the word I'm correcting. Or I may go back until I hear that the first letter of the word I'm correcting is still there or the first two letters. it depends on if I can definitely tell what is there. Sometimes, its difficult such as in the case of a double letterr. In the word correct, for example, I would go back until just co was read.

However, my phone has limited use of the Google assistant and I've started dictating most of my messages, which, although it introduces errors that may not be picked up with the not very good screen-reader in the phone, produces understandeable messages and is much faster than using the numpad input. Sometimes, I have to dictate a message two or three times but even so, that's often faster and easier than writing it. I'll add that my phone reads whatever is there of the current word if I press the space bar, placing a space after the word or part of the word. That often speeds things up a lot if I am editing in this way. Gene

It’s the Alcatel (spelling) Go Flip3. I can't recommend it compared with other accessible feature phones, because I haven't used any other currently available phones. It has some quirkss but if you don't mind them, it has some nice features I don't know if other feature phones have such as the ability to use the Google assistant to play material on Youtube and for dictating texts, and naming files you are saving, though the accuracy isn't all that good and I often have to dictate texts two or three times.

I didn't know the Google assistant could do these things until I got not just a call and text plan, but once I switched to a plan with limited data, I started playing with it. Gene

Yes, you can accessibly review and edit your text messages whether you entered it manually or used the voice recognition to enter your message. I have not personally run into any text messages I wasn't able to read. I don't know what you mean by news and similar notifications. Would these be arriving as text messages, or email messages? Stay safe, Laz

Thanks for your experiences with texting. About the news, I mean texts which you can sign up for to receive news from your local stations or from places such as the New York Times or Washington Post. Although, the news is so monotonously the same everyday that I don't know why I care. TerriLynne

I suspect these are push notifications. My first question is whether the browser in the phone is good enough to use at all extensively. Is the point of push notifications to provide links to get more information or are they considered complete in themselves?

you know there is no browser on the Blindshell Classic phone so if it involves visiting a website on the phone, the answer is no. Laz

Sorry, Gene, I'm not even sure what a push notification is. But an example is that I was receiving "breaking news" stories from my local radio station.

I didn't know the details so I looked up information. It appears that feature phones, of which this is one, are too limited to receive push notifications, but that is an inference, not something I've seen discussed. Feature phones aren't generally discussed or considered in discussions of mobile devices, being a small nitche area and unable to do a wide variety of things smart phones can do.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I had thought that when a site asks me to allow notifications, it is asking to allow push notifications. I don't know if I'm getting push notifications in terms of content in a different way. The information in the article I linked to says that push notifications send you information ssent to a specific app. Those who know more may discuss this. At this point, I don't know what you signed up for so I can't comment on that. It would be helpful if you told us specifically what you signed up for in one instance as an example so we can look at it. I don't think we can properly answer the question otherwise. I know you made references to what you signed up for in one or two instances, but can you give more information or send the address of a page where you saw the offer? Gene

Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.
Terrilynne, pardon me for being behind the curtains! I'm thinking you have
a smart toy of some kind like many of us in this space. For the Breaking News you're receiving from your local radio station, did you have to install an app on your smart toy? If YES in the affirmative, you'll need to know whether or not you can install your own preferred apps on the Blindshell toy because if you can't, you'd need to weigh your options carefully with regards to adopting it into your smart toy family. For me, to receive news from the New York Times as an example, I must install its app on any of my toys dedicated for such business. A Push Notification, if enabled on a smart toy, simply alerts you when there's something cooking with respect to an app that supports it. Example, I have the Robinhood app installed on my toys; I'm monitoring a few stocks; so, each day as the market closes, the app pushes to me a notification that lets me know how well the stocks I'm monitoring did for that particular day. Some E-mail apps support Push Notification and will work the same way. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado

Hi Olusegun,

I think that user installed apps is not a feature of the blind shell classic; the blind shell classic does not have a browser.

I meant, the Blind Shell Phone isn't a smart phone. I wouldn't say that no apps compatible with that phone can receive push notifications but I doubt that apps have been developed that generally can.

My feature phone, one of the more capable ones in the off-the-shelf market, has many games and some other apps developed for its operating system, but nothing like the range of apps developed for smart phones and the ones I've seen when I've looked at the store are mostly games. Gene

For me, to receive news from the New York Times as an example, I must install its app on any of my toys dedicated for such business. A Push Notification, if enabled on a smart toy, simply alerts you when there's something cooking with respect to an app that supports it. Example, I have the Robinhood app installed on my toys; I'm monitoring a few stocks; so, each day as the market closes, the app pushes to me a notification that lets me know how well the stocks I'm monitoring did for that particular day. Some E-mail apps support Push Notification and will work the same way. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado
