Android apps. Cool App-titude. The matches are displayed near the very center of the screen, so you have to tap as close to the middle of the screen as you can and perhaps move around a bit to find your match. Several comments I have read online regarding iOS 4. I certainly have noticed that I am typing faster with this new version, and it seems to work with even a very light touch. The rotor now has an option for adjusting the rate at which VoiceOver speaks. This saves the time involved in going into the settings app to adjust the rate and is very handy when doing demonstrations of these devices.
Also, the speech rate can now be adjusted by 5-percent increments instead of percent increments. Go to the VoiceOver section of settings to add this option to the rotor. You can now disable the physical volume buttons so that they work only to control VoiceOver's volume and not the device's regular volume.
That is handy because you used to have to have it speak first and then quickly press the volume buttons to adjust the VoiceOver volume while it was speaking.
To adjust the volume, go to the Sounds section of settings. Most new software product releases have a bug or two that has to be worked out, and we always do our best to find them and point them out to manufacturers.
However, the first thing we discovered in our lab was that the bug that appeared in iOS 4. Before, the button for choosing the type of contact, such as home, mobile, or work, did not work with VoiceOver. Now, the button labeled "mobile," which is the default type, does work with VoiceOver, and VoiceOver says "Activate to choose type.
As far as new bugs, we have only discovered one so far. If you receive an incoming call while on an active call, there are three buttons that appear to let you deal with the new call. We always communicate our findings to Apple, and they have done a good job of fixing bugs, so please contact us at AccessWorld if you find any other bugs.
Apple also released a software update to its second-generation Apple TV device, and the important news is its support for AirPlay, which is an app that allows devices running iOS 4. This is all accessible using VoiceOver, which speaks the menus for controlling the video and can also access the descriptions of the movies or TV show episodes. You can also use it to send your music to your stereo speakers. It displays your device's location on a map and allows you to set a passcode lock.
You can also display a message on the device's screen or even wipe out all of its data. If you are lucky enough to find your device later, you can restore your data from your last backup. Because the iOS 4. Some of these enhancements include the extra items available in the rotor when navigating webpages and the ability to organize your apps in folders you have created. You can also take advantage of the multitasking capabilities introduced with iOS 4. Also, iPad users can now take advantage of the fully accessible iBooks app with full access to the dictionary and the ability to navigate by word and by character.
The AirPrint function now allows iPad users to print documents from productivity apps such as iWork, and the iPad is also now compatible with several wireless braille displays. Of course, all the other enhancements I have mentioned in this article are also available on the iPad.
Now I will briefly describe my experiences with a handful of third-party apps I downloaded from the App Store. Around Me, a free app, is a great GPS-based tool for locating points of interest, and I have found it to be very useful when I'm traveling. It has a list of 20 categories, such as restaurants, theaters, gas stations, and hospitals, and you can also do a key word search or just scroll through nearby points of interest.
If, for example, you find a restaurant you want to visit, you can get directions or call the restaurant for a reservation by simply double-tapping on the phone number that appears. In addition to the points of interest features of Around Me, Navigon can also provide real-time turn-by-turn directions. Although VoiceOver sometimes stutters, and there are a few unlabelled buttons to get used to, Navigon is for the most part accessible. He app itself functions well for me, i wish it blocked text notifications while recording though.
Thats annoying as can be. The major issue, what you brings you down more then a star for me is the notification menu. You have a close button and an options button. If you hit close, okay its done. But you hit options and you hit open or listen and it opens the app and then theres a close button again. This is a ridiculous design.
Why not just have an open and close button. No options needed? The only reason to have options is if you can actually listen right from the notification and not open the app. The developer, Voxilate , has not provided details about its privacy practices and handling of data to Apple.
