Hello!
Has anybody tested Withings Healthmate?
With the last update of Wiscale they say that I shall use Withings healthmate instead. But when I tested by my self I found it is not so accessible with Voiceover.
Has anyone any tip how to do with it or an other app with same features?
Hi,
I am looking for a few people to help me Beta test VisionAssist v2. If you are unfamiliar with VisionAssist, there is some information here: http://visionassist.slinkyware.com/
V2 includes a new user interface, the ability to save screen shots, and a bunch of other features. If you are interested in Beta testing this for a week please contact me by here: http://visionassist.slinkyware.com/contact-us/ and tell me what Apple device you have.
Thanks AppleVis community :-)
Regards
Mike
TextGrabber + Translator, the iOS OCR app made by ABBYY, is on sale for $1.99. It has been selling for $9.99 shortly after version 3 was released with full VoiceOver support. The TextGrabber and Prizmo iOS OCR apps have been extensively discussed on the viphone list in connection with use of the StandScan Pro. TextGrabber supports OCR in multiple languages, and will also work with pages that are upside down or rotated by 90 degrees, as long as the text is aligned with the iPhone camera.

Hello Brian,
Currently, there are no plans to add accessibility to the blind with the app. I will take your feedback however, and forward it to the appropriate parties. Thank you for contacting Watch App support.

On first opening, you cannot add an email account when using VoiceOver because the list of account types is not accessible. Disabling VoiceOver and a lucky tap in the right place allowed me to add my Gmail account. VoiceOver then failed to read the 5 welcome screens that followed.
So, already signs are not good!
Things are a little better once you get to your inbox, as I was able to browse and read messages. However, the interface has so many unlabelled buttons that it's impossible to do anything more than read emails. Or at least impossible with any sense of confidence! I had one email that was there, and now it's not. It's not in the Trash folder, so I can only guess at what the button that I double-tapped on did to the message!
Considering that this is the type of app that you really need to know is doing what you want and think it is doing … well, in its current state, this is not something that I would want to use with VoiceOver.
If you've been experiencing issues with yesterday's release of lire, you may want to give V1.9.23 a try. I'm grabbing it here and it apparently fixes yesterday's bug.
Hope this is an ok forum topic. I'm interested in mixers, speciffically something simple, and I was wondering if anyone can either do a podcast on setting one up initially, or point me to one? I don't need the icecast stuff, I will work that out later. Thanks for any help.

VueScan Mobile is on sale for $2.99. This app normally lists for $9.99. Read its AppleVis app listing and check the list of supported wireless printer/scanners at the developer's web site.
This is fully accessible. The only thing to note is that you use the app in landscape mode with the Home button to the left.
Hi all,
I'm seeking an informed app recommendation. Basically I'm looking for something to produce good-sounding realizations of original compositions (especially orchestral music). I could see this going one of two ways - either playing directly into the app with something like the iRig Keys, and recording the different voices playing their different parts, or importing a .midi or other file type from composition software on my PC and assigning voices to the various parts. Does anyone have any recommendations for an app that would suit either of these needs? Is this something I should be doing with Garage Band or Thumb Jam, perhaps? Any comments about the sound quality of voices, as well as the overall accessibility of recommended apps, would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey guys, I am wanting to reorganise some of the apps on my phone but hate trying to rearrange them with VO on my iPhone because last time I tried I either messed up the layout of other apps that I didn't even touch because I don't want them moving, or it automatically created folders here there and everywhere that I didn't want.
So is there a way I can rearrange them using iTunes in mac? I know this was possible on windows but never really used it.
Thanks
Callum.
This app for printing wirelessly to a printer is on sale for $1.99. It usually lists for $3.99. The developer, Darsoft, Inc., has put a few of their mobile printing apps on sale for 50% off. I've used Print Agent Pro in both the iPhone and iPad app versions to print to an AirPlay printer. According to the app description, you can also set up printing for most WiFi, network, and local printers that are on the same WiFi network, and check out compatibility by first trying out their free Print Agent Lite universal app. I've found all the apps by Darsoft, Inc. that I've tried to be very accessible. There is a separate version of Print Agent Pro for iPad that is on sale for $2.99. It normally lists for $5.99. Since there is no AppleVis entry for this app, I'll paste in the description below.

At the keynote, Apple is widely expected to announce new versions of both iOS and Mac OS X, as well as updates to its hardware lines.

I would like to know what people suggest for a medicine bottle/box reader. I have Prizmo, but find that it's a bit difficult to read.
Also, I would like suggestion for a GPS app that gives turn by turn walking directions.
Hello,
can someone tell me what keys you use to select text on a Mac that isn't in a text field? E.g. text on a webpage? Thanks.
the app developer's to do list is to make improvements to accessibility (you can see that in what's new section)
However, most parts of the app is already accessible. (see the bottom of this part to see accessibility problems)
when you launch the app, there are five buttons.
from left to right: player, create, stations, location, settings.
player should be dimmed at the first time since you're not playing anything. if you want to create a playlist for yourself, tab the create button and search for your first artist.
the stations button shows other people's stations, location button will show other stations that are near you, (it will launch apple's map within the app, i have not tested it how it works, but the buttons are all labled)
and the settings button will allow you to ajust settings. you can also log in here to raditaz, which i recommend to do it.
You need to register at the website. i couldn't find the registration system on the app itself.
accessibility problems
1: the player screen, will freez after abit of swiping, so you need to press home, bring up the app switcher and switch to it again.
2: on the player screen, there is a place which sighted people can swipe up to like, swipe down to dislike, and left to skip the song, which i couldn't figure out how voice over users can do that.
other things are all accessible.
This app rocks. it simply beats pandora and other payed services, because it's 1: free but still provides high quality music, and 2: it's database is very, very big.
i'm done with pandora and spotify. this is now my #1 radio stream app.
Below is a list of the major highlights from today's WWDC keynote, compiled from the twitter feed of AppleVis Editorial Team member Michael Hansen. Other sources include the live blogs from Macworld, 9 to 5 Mac, and Mac Rumors.
You can read more information about iOS 7 on Apple's official iOS 7 preview page.
Before sharing information or asking specific questions about the beta versions of iOS 7 and OS X, we would ask that you read and follow our rules for discussing beta software.
I now have a new GoTo weather app!
As the description states, this is fully accessible with VoiceOver. Another great job by the BBC!
Accessibility Comments
The app is almost completely inaccessible to Voiceover, with no plans to improve it. See other comments from the developer
