In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to get weather information in your Mac's menu bar, useful if you, for example, want to be able to quickly access such information but don't want to deal with widgets or the Weather app. To add weather information to your Mac's menu bar, go to System Settings > Control Center, and choose "Show in menu bar" from the "Weather" popup menu. The temperature for your current location, if the Weather app has previously been granted access to it, should then appear in the status menus. Clicking the temperature should reveal a dialog with the current temperature, other applicable information about current conditions, an "Hourly forecast" group showing the expected conditions for the next four hours, and a button to open the Weather app. Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hey, Apple Vissers, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how to get weather information in your Mac's menu bar. This is something that you've been able to do with third-party apps for a number of years now, but with the release of macOS Sequoia 15.2, this functionality has been integrated directly into the operating system. This may be useful if you want to get quick weather information such as the current temperature or hourly forecast for the next few hours without needing to deal with the weather app, a third-party app, or a notification center or desktop widgets. I find the menu bar I can use with far fewer keystrokes than the weather app or widgets. So to set this up, all I have to do is go into system settings, control center, and choose menu bar under the weather pop-up menu. So to demonstrate that, I'm going to go to system settings on my Mac. C for control center, control center, and interact with the scroll area. And because weather is near the bottom, I'm going to jump to the bottom with V-O-globe-right arrow. Weather, show in menu bar. If it's off for you, just choose that from this pop-up menu. So now I'm going to close out of this, and I'm going to press V-O-M twice to access the status menus. Okay, and here I am on 29 degrees Fahrenheit. To access more information, I'll just V-O space. Okay, so this is the top of the dialog, V-O-R-A, we have hourly forecast. Depending on the current conditions, there may be other information here too, such as a severe weather warning if one's in effect, or if the feels like temperature is significantly different from the actual temp. But I'm going to interact with the hourly forecast group now. And we have a few hours, so 6 p.m., 7 p.m., 8 p.m., 9 p.m., 10 p.m., and that's it. So not the full 24-hour forecast that you get in the weather app, but if you want to get hourly forecast for the next four hours, this is quite useful. So I'm going to stop interacting, and V-R-A, open weather, and that's the only things you have in this dialog. The temperature, any other information as relevant, the hourly forecast group, and the open weather button. If I hit that, it'll just take me into the weather app. Now to get out of this dialog, at the time of recording, January 2025,……
In this episode, Jessica Dale demonstrates how to send Messenger messages using Siri on iOS and iPadOS. To set this up, go to Settings > Apps > Messenger > Apple Intelligence & Siri, and toggle the "Use with Siri requests" switch on. To send a message, engage Siri and say something like "Use Messenger to message [person]." Siri should then prompt you for the contents of the message and then offer to send it, as it does when sending a message using the built-in Messages app. Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. My name is Jessica Dale. I'm going to show you how to use Messenger with Siri. Yesterday they came out with a brand new update and it's really cool. So I'm on my iPad Pro. I have the 2021 version and I am running iOS 18, which is a requirement for this. I'll go to Settings, all the way down to the bottom of the screen to Apps. There it is. I'll double tap. Now on the right hand side, I'll click on Messenger. There we go. Double tap, I'll click on Apple Intelligence and Siri. Use with Siri requests. That's what we want. I'll double tap and there we go. Now let's test it. Use Messenger to message Vicky Wright. I hope you have fun on your vacation, period. I can't wait to hear all about it, period. Your Messenger message says, I hope you have fun on your vacation. I can't wait to hear all about it. Send it? Yes. Done. And there we go. I've now sent a message with Siri. Let's now go confirm that it actually went through. And yes it did. It's right there at the top. Perfect. I would like to thank you all for listening to this demonstration. You can reach me via email at jldail13 at Outlook.com. You can also reach me on Mastodon at ke8upe at mastodon.hams.sofa. Or using the information found in my AppleViz profile.

There's so many different emoji, Memoji, Gemmoji. Thanks to Apple. I know. I hear you. But that's what I'm here for. I'm going to explain what Gemmoji is and how that's different from other emojis that you find throughout your iOS. Now this is a really kind of a nifty kind of feature that I'm starting to like quite a bit. So all of you probably are familiar with emoji, right? So emojis are little characters, little design, this little artwork is very small and that you can put into your messages and to your WhatsApp and all sorts of different variety of ways of communication. So you can send a little picture of something. So usually they're kind of basic stuff like cows and food things like tomatoes. And you probably know more the popular ones like a smiley face emoji or something or heart eyes emoji and things like that, red heart. Those are emojis and I know there's plenty of those emojis, right? There's like a thousand of these things, right? However, sometimes you're going to find that there isn't quite the emoji that you want. Let's just say I want a mouse wearing sunglasses, giving a thumbs up. You probably not going to find that emoji, but now we are able to design and customize your own emoji called Gemmoji. That allows you to create any emojis that you want to your heart consent. The sky is the limit and what you can create, but I'll show you some quirks and some setbacks that you're not……

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates the basics of using iPhone Mirroring, a feature that allows you to use your iPhone from your Mac, with VoiceOver. Topics covered in this demonstration include: General description of the feature and its current issues and limitations System requirements and setup Navigating and dealing with various elements of the iOS user interface, such as the Home Screen, rotor actions, and context menus, using macOS Controlling which iPhone apps can forward notifications to your Mac More general information about this feature can be found in the Apple Support article "iPhone Mirroring: Use your iPhone from your Mac." Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hey Apple visitors, Tyler here, with a demonstration and overview of iPhone mirroring. iPhone mirroring is a feature that allows you to essentially use your iPhone from your Mac. This may be useful if you, for example, prefer a given service's mobile app over its desktop or web equivalent, or if what you're using doesn't have a desktop app or website. In addition, as notifications from your iPhone can be forwarded to your Mac via iPhone mirroring, you may find it more convenient to receive and respond to the notification on your Mac than to switch devices if you're working on your Mac when the notification comes in. With the initial release of Mac OS Sequoia 15.0, this feature was completely inaccessible with voiceover. With the subsequent 15.1 update, it has become accessible to a point. I say to a point because at the time of recording, October 2024, there are several issues that, in my opinion, make the experience less than refined from a voiceover perspective, which I'll elaborate on later in this demo. To use iPhone mirroring with voiceover, you'll need an iPhone with iOS 18.1 or later and a Mac with Mac OS 15.1 or later. All iPhones capable of running iOS 18 work with iPhone mirroring, as do all Macs capable of running Sequoia, with the exception of the 2019 iMac, as that model lacks the T2 security chip or Apple silicon. To set up iPhone mirroring, just open the iPhone mirroring app on your Mac and follow the on-screen instructions. I've already done that, so now I'm going to demonstrate the feature. I'm going to open iPhone mirroring on my Mac. So here I am prompted to authenticate. By default, whenever you open the iPhone mirroring app, you are prompted to authenticate as a way to verify your identity before it gives you control of your iPhone. If you'd rather, it didn't prompt you to authenticate each time you open the app, you can change this in iPhone mirroring settings. Just choose settings from the menu bar or press command comma and it should be there. But I'm going to authenticate with touch ID now. Close button. Okay, so here I am in the iPhone mirroring window. Okay, so we have home screen and app switcher. Now you can use those buttons to get to those locations, or I find it more convenient to use the view menu or keyboard shortcuts.……

Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello there and welcome to the AppleVis Extra. This is episode number 101. My name is David Nason and I'm delighted to be joined by two fantastic guests from Agiga. We have Xiaoran Wang and HuaSong Cao Is that correct, guys? Thank you, David. Thank you for having us. So yeah, delighted. And the product you're going to talk to us about is the Echo Vision. So before we get into that, though, do you want to tell us a little bit about yourselves, the company, what you do, really, and how it all came about? Sure. My name is Xiaoran. I'm the CEO, and before doing this company, actually, I had long experience building and shaping intelligent devices. I started my career at Amazon Level 26. That's the first place of the world's first Kindle and also the world's first Alexa. And I was actually in the early team that developed Alexa devices. And this experience gave me good exposure and got me enough experience on how to build a good intelligent device. I think that's one of the confidence I brought in when I was doing this company that we can build a great product for the community. Brilliant, and obviously, Alexa, a device that's very popular, being a voice-first product, very popular in the blind and visually impaired community. So yeah, that's really cool. And tell us about yourself, Hua Song. Yeah, thanks, David. So my name is Hua Song, and I'm an engineer by training. Before I started this company with Xiaoran, I was with Google for about nine to ten years. I did various software projects, and the latest one is Google Assistant, the voice assistant similar to Amazon counterparts. Yeah, I've been enjoying doing software, building stuff, both hardware and software. And with Giga, what we are trying to do is really to use our expertise built prior to this company and take that to something that we can really use to help everyone. That's brilliant. So do you want to quickly tell us what the product is, and then we can delve into a bit more detail. Yeah, so the product is called EchoVision. By looking, it looks like a normal pair of glasses. The key feature is to articulate visual information into voices. Think about it. If you can't see this, and there's someone next to you, how will this person help you? So basically, he or she is going to describe it for you, like read it out for you. And that's how we envision our product, basically. It's like an assistant, a virtual assistant that does this work for you. Well, I was going to……
In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to use Writing Tools in iOS 18.1. Writing Tools, released as part of the first set of Apple Intelligence features in iOS 18.1 is an impressive feature that allows users to rewrite text in different tones, such as friendly, professional, and concise, with an added proofread option. To use this feature, open the text you want to edit and highlight it. Within the Edit section of your Rotor, you'll find the Writing Tools option. Different tone options will appear for you to choose from. Select the desired tone, and iOS will automatically adjust the text accordingly. If you opt for the proofread option, it will check for grammatical and stylistic errors, providing suggestions for improvement. This feature makes it easier to tailor your writing for different contexts and ensure it's polished and effective. Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. I'm going to be talking to you about an Apple Intelligent feature called the writing tools. Now this is one of my most favorite feature of the Apple Intelligent that Apple has to offer. Now in order to be able to use the Apple Intelligent, you must need the following iPhone criteria, which is iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, or newer devices. If you have those devices, then you will earn luck. The first thing we need to do is make sure that Apple Intelligent is turned on. Simple enough to turn it on, you'll have to head over to your settings. So let's head over to settings, and let's do one finger double tap and open this. And now what we're looking for, we're looking for Apple Intelligent in Siri, so swipe to the right until you find that button. One finger double tap, open that. Now you may have heard the word beta. Well, at this time of the podcast that's being recorded, it is in beta. So Apple Intelligent is in beta at this moment. Now if you don't hear the beta, don't worry. That might mean that the beta is no longer in beta. So to make sure we are in the same place in this right area, let's go to the very top left hand corner where you have the back button. To get to there, you can either tap at the top left or use a forefinger tap on the top half of your device until you hear the back button. Now if you swipe to the right, that's where you heard the beta. Now in your case, if you don't hear the beta, have no worries, let's keep going to the right. Now we're into the Apple Intelligent section. Now if you go to the right here, a personal intelligence system integrated deeply into your iPhone apps and Siri, learn more link, use the rotor to access links. You can do that if you wish. If you want to find more information about the Apple Intelligent and all the features that has to offer, double tap that and I'll take you to the web page at Apple to talk to you about more about Apple Intelligent. But what we're looking for is the option to turn the Apple Intelligent on and that should be the next item up. If you go to the……
In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates the call recording and transcription feature in iOS 18.1. This update brings an exciting built-in call recording capability to iPhones. Recording a call is straightforward: just double-tap the Record button in the top left corner during a call (note that you might need to hide the keypad to see the button). A voice message will notify all participants that the call is being recorded. These recordings are saved directly in the Notes app, which uses end-to-end encryption to keep your conversations private. To review a call, simply go to the Notes app, and you'll find your recordings securely stored there. Additionally, iOS 18.1 offers automatic transcription, generating real-time captions and notes during your call. This feature makes it easy to reference important points later, with transcriptions handled entirely on your device to ensure privacy, with no data sent to external servers. Furthermore, supported iPhone models can provide summaries of these recordings, making it even easier to keep track of your conversations. Transcript Disclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. I want to show you a feature called call recording and transcription. This is a beautiful feature that allows you to record your phone call. And yes, you're able to get a transcription of what transpired within that conversation of the phone call. Very useful for any time that you want to record a meeting or conversation. Maybe perhaps you're doing an interview with somebody or just simply just want to record for keepsake. Whether there's somebody close to your family you just want to have for record, for archival, or maybe you have a business transition or phone call you just want to make sure it's recorded. Now a couple things I want to note about this feature is that I always like to let people know that I'm about to record them. So it's kind of a respectful kind of a thing and not to get them caught off guard. So some people can maybe kind of leery about those kind of things that you just all of a sudden you just pop on them that you're recording their phone calls and such. Make sure you tell them that you're about to record them. Now even though Apple put a great safety feature in this and if you begin the recording no matter what you do it's going to let that recorder know that the phone call is being recorded. So that is a nice feature that Apple ensured that everybody knows that the phone call is being recorded. Now before you can use this feature you'll have to turn this option on and that's within the settings. So let's head over to settings. Settings. Double tap to open. You one finger double tap on settings. Settings. Now what we're looking for and we're looking for the phone app. Now the phone app now lives in the app section. Yep. So at the very bottom of the settings so I'm going to do a four fingers tap at the bottom half of my phone here. Apps. Button. Which will directly to get me to the app……

Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. I'm gonna be talking to you today about audio ducking. Now some of you out there are familiar with audio ducking and some that are not. So let's talk about what audio ducking for those that are not familiar with this feature. So really what this audio ducking does, it's very useful when you need it, when you want to lower the media sound. So for example, are you on a phone call and you're talking to an operator or a customer service or whatever it might be, and they want you to check your email and make sure you got something, read it off something, or they sent you a text for verification, whatever not. Sometimes it's really, really hard to hear that voiceover voice, right? So having it at the same time, the voiceover can be difficult to hear. Sometimes it's lower than what their sound is. Or in my case, I do a lot of music. So I love listening to the music in the background. However, if I'm trying to do something with voiceover on the same time, it's difficult to hear voiceover. So let me give you an example of what it sounds like when you do not have audio ducking on. So if I turn on music here, I'm just gonna swipe back and forth so you can hear the various sound of voiceover and you'll see what I mean. It's about the same or if not a little bit less, it just depends on the situation. So here's the music. Make sure that what I tell you makes sense. Mail, no unread emails. Messages, one unread message. So it's hard to hear, right? So you don't have that ability to be able to hear it very well. Well, audio ducking, by turning this on, it allows you to duck those media or situation that you're in so you can bring up that voiceover on top and make it clear and concise. Now, for those that are familiar with audio ducking, well, the old fashioned audio ducking allows us to be able to duck, right? But it was a hard set, meaning that we have no……

It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Domville, also known as Anonymouse. I'm going to be talking about a feature called Voices. So as you know, we have our primary voice over voice that we use each and every day on our device. Wouldn't it be great that you are able to access various voices more than just one voice over on the fly? Yep, you can do that. It lives right in your rotor, if that's where you would like it to be. In my case, I have it in my rotor itself. You can also put that in the voice over quick settings if you wish to. And I'll be showing you how to add that to your rotor and quick setting if that's something you want to do. But in my case, whenever I do a podcast, you probably always hear that I use Siri number 4 voice, in short is Noel. And this is what I use when I do podcasting, but every so often I like to change things up and here's some other voice and that would be Tom and Hans. So those are my top two voices. And so in order to access it so quickly and easily, I place the voices in within my rotor. So let me give you an example of what it sounds like and what it looks like. So I'm going to access my rotor and I'm going to go to Voices. Voices, Siri voice 4, default, selected. So if I swipe up, Tom, primary voice. I have the Tom primary voice. Or if I could just swipe up again, Siri voice 4, default. I'm back to Siri voice number 4. So this is when I'm talking about how you are able to access voices so easily from your rotor or your quick settings, if that's what you choose to do. So let me show you how I got that set up. But before we can do anything, we need to add voices so you can……

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to customize the lock screen on iOS, specifically how to remove the flashlight and camera buttons and replace them with other controls. In addition to viewing the time, date, and notifications, the Lock Screen can be customized to remove or replace the camera and flashlight buttons with other controls, or show certain types of information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events or current weather conditions. To customize the Lock Screen, perform a one-finger triple-tap on either the time or date, double-tap Customize, and then double-tap “Customize Lock Screen wallpaper.” From here, you can double-tap the Remove buttons for default controls, the “add quick action” button to select alternative controls, or the “Add widget” button to select a widget. transcript Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hey, Apple Vissers, Tyler here with a quick tip for how to customize the lock screen on iOS. By default, the iOS lock screen includes the time, date, any notifications received since the device was last used, and at least on devices without a home button, shortcuts to the flashlight and camera functions. Over the years, the iOS lock screen has gradually become more customizable, with the ability to add widgets introduced with iOS 16 in 2022, and the ability to remove the camera and flashlight functions or replace them with other controls the user might find more useful introduced with iOS 18 in 2024. If, like me, you don't find the camera or flashlight functions particularly useful, or at least not useful enough to where you would want them to be among the first things you see when you wake your iPhone, you can replace them with other things you might find more useful. So for me, I replace them with a shortcut to the alarm and also a single action shortcut that I created to set a 20-minute timer. So when I'm about to work out, I just take out my phone, wake it, unlock it, and double tap the workout timer button on the lock screen. And when I want to set an alarm, I don't have to go into Control Center or open the clock app or use Siri anymore. I just double tap the alarm button on the lock screen and I'm taken right there. So to demonstrate this, I'm going to wake my iPhone now and I'm just going to explain so I don't have to explain while voiceover is talking and compete with that sound. Once I unlock it, I'm going to triple tap either the time or the date. Either one works. You can triple tap or you can double tap and hold either one. So I'm going to wake my iPhone now. Do not disturb Friday 1 a.m. Okay, triple tap. Astronomy wallpaper weather sunrise and sunset widget and clock next alarm widget button and illustration of red, blue and yellow rectangle. Okay, so if I swipe left astronomy, that's the first element on the screen. It's the current wallpaper I have. You can have multiple. So if you want to have different lock screens, like, for example, if you're working, you might want access to different types of information than if you're just on your own time. If you want to link focuses, you can do that. So if you have a work focus, you can have it……
In this episode, Tyler demonstrates some of VoiceOver's command customization capabilities on macOS. If you find a particular VoiceOver command difficult to perform, or discover a function in the Commands menu that doesn’t have a default command, you can assign your own custom command to it. In addition, you can configure commands to open apps and run scripts, so you don’t have to locate them manually. Commands can be configured by going to VoiceOver Utility > Commands, selecting the “Command set: user” radio button, and clicking “Custom commands edit.” For ease of navigation, you can choose the type of commands you want to view or change, such as numpad, trackpad, keyboard, etc from the "Filter commands" popup menu, or use the search field to locate a particular command. In this dialog, commands can be presented in either column view, which organizes commands into categories like general, information, and navigation, or table view, which displays a list of all VoiceOver commands, including user-configured ones, which you can navigate with the up and down arrow keys. To add a command, in column view, locate the command, interact with the table of assignments, and specify your new one using the "Add input" popup menu. To add a command when in table view, click the Add button, interact with the table, and specify the input assignment from the popup menu labeled "None: edited." Then, press VO-Right-Arrow passed an empty cell to another popup menu, and choose the command you want your new input assignment to perform. transcript: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content.: Hey, Apple Vissers. Tyler here. With a demonstration and walkthrough of VoiceOver command customization on macOS. Prior to macOS Sequoia, VoiceOver included several user configurable sets of commands, known as commanders, for the numpad, trackpad, keyboard, and quick nav. With macOS Sequoia, these commanders have been consolidated into VoiceOver's broader command set, meaning in addition to the existing modifiers that you could use, like the option key for keyboard commander, you can also create your own command assignments using the VoiceOver modifier, which may be useful if you find a particular VoiceOver command difficult to perform, if you find a command in the commands menu, for example, that lacks a default assignment, or if you want to create a custom command to open an application. So to demonstrate this, I'm going to open VoiceOver utility on my mac with VoF8. Opening VoiceOver utility. VoiceOver utility. VoiceOver utility. Window. Utility categories. C for commanders.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to connect to a Windows computer using the Files app on iOS and iPadOS, in order to transfer files over your local network. To do this, you'll first need to make sure file and printer sharing is enabled on your computer by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Advanced sharing settings, and making sure "File and printer sharing" is on for your current connection type, either public or private. To view your computer's internal or "Private" IPV4 address, which you'll need to enter on your iPhone or iPad, either use the ipconfig command line tool as demonstrated in the episode, or locate it via the GUI by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Hardware and connection properties. To connect to the computer from your iPhone or iPad, open the Files app, double-tap the "More" button near the top right of the screen, and choose "Connect to server" from the resulting menu. Enter your computer's IP address in the "Server address" field, and double-tap Connect. You'll then be prompted to authenticate with the username and password you use to log into the computer, after which it should appear in the brows view of the Files app, under the "Shared" heading. Once connected, you can brows and modify the file and folder structure of the C Drive from the Files app, as well as transfer files from other apps on your device to this location. To disconnect your iPhone or iPad from your computer, focus on it in the brows view of the Files app and choose "eject" from the Actions rotor. Note: This feature was demonstrated on a computer running Windows 11. While it is available on prior versions of Windows, the process for configuring it may be slightly different. transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

Now this podcast is going to be for my advanced users out there. Now I've been in this position for quite a while and I have been thinking about how could I streamline this process. So are you one of those people that tend to transfer files a lot back and forth from your iPhone or your iOS device to your computer? If you are, raise your hand. This might be something for you to think about. Yes, you do have the option to kind of transfer from your phone to your computer by using a third party service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or maybe Microsoft OneDrive. But the problem with that, it can be slow, right? Or I just don't want to store it up in those surfaces for whatever reason that is. In my case, I tend to have some very large files and can take some time, especially if you have a slow internet access. So in other words, anytime I need to transfer something, so I'm essentially sending it up through the internet, through the cloud, store it up there. So it takes that time to do it and then go on my phone, go through Microsoft OneDrive and go to the drive and pull it back down. And it's kind of tedious. I wish it would be more……

My name is Marco and this audio I'm going to do unboxing, hardware description, demo and extra features of RayVan Meta Smart Glasses. Unboxing. Well, it looks like a classic recycle package, flat box, and I'm going to give you the package dimensions. It's about seven inches length, about three and a half inches width, and about two inches height. Okay. I don't feel that has any tape on it, so which means so I don't have to cut anything. So in order to open it and also I feel some something printed on it in highlights is on the top and on the sides, on the length sides and both sides. Okay. So I'm going to place the box with the length side closer to me in horizontal way. It's sitting down on my desk and the way how open the box is from the left and from the right sides, which means the width sides. So I'm going to start opening from the left side. Once again, I don't have to cut anything. Basically the only thing I need is use my fingernail in order to make some pressure. You know, like pushing out, yeah, pushing down first and then pushing out and I'm going to open. Here you go. I did. I'm going to open also the right side. Once again, I'm going to use my finger and nail, push down and push out and this one is easier. Okay. So what's on it? Well, the box has like a compartment in one of the sites and which is the, you know, the paper manuals, the user guide and everything in this case is on my right side. And on the left side is the microfiber cloth and I feel the case on it. Okay. So in order to take out the case from the package, that I do is with my right hand, I'm going to feel it and make some, and I'm going to push it so to my left side. So and with my left hand, I'm going to touch it and locate it and I'm going to twist it a little bit and the way, you know, how get out a little bit and here we go. I'm going to start pushing once again with my right fingers and here we go. I have it here. Well, this is the box and on my hands. Now I have the, the case and the glasses are inside. Now I am going to open the case and it has on the front, some kind of magnet, which allows to attach to the case with the lid, that's I can tell and the glasses are inside. On the middle, there is some plastic tape, which is in order to keep in place the glasses in the case. So I have to cut it or just, yeah, cut it or push up and down in order to take out the glasses……

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to disable predictive text suggestions on macOS. As you type on your Mac, macOS by default attempts to finish words and phrases it thinks you're trying to type. If you find that hearing these suggestions spoken by VoiceOver is more distracting than helpful, you can turn them off by going to System Settings > Keyboard, clicking the Edit button under the "Text input" heading, and toggling the "show inline predictive text" switch off. transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hey, Apple vissers, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how to disable predictive text suggestions on macOS. By default, as you type on your Mac, macOS attempts to finish words and phrases that it thinks you're trying to type. While this may increase the speed of text entry for some, if you're a voiceover user, you may find that hearing these suggestions spoken while you're trying to type is more distracting than helpful, in which case you can turn them off. To do that, go into system settings, keyboard, hit the edit button under the text input heading, and turn the show inline predictive text switch off. And I'm going to demonstrate that now, I'm going to system settings on my Mac, k for keyboard, vio command h to get to the text input heading, vio right, edit, and at the leftmost of this dialog, k, that's what we want, vio right, scroll area, interact with vio shift down arrow, and vio right until I find the setting I want, show inline predictive text, if I vio right once more, show inline predictive text off switch, it's off for me because I turned it off. If it's on for you and you want to turn it off, just press vio space, then stop interacting with the scroll area, with vio shift up arrow, and vio right to done, hit it, and here we are back in keyboard settings. So now as you type, you will not hear text suggestions predicted by macOS, which could almost ironically increase your speed of text entry because this feature is off and is no longer giving you distracting or potentially distracting feedback. So that's a tip for how to disable predictive text suggestions on macOS, I hope you found it helpful. Peace. Thank you.…

In this episode, Ida Grace introduces eSpeak-NG, a compact open-source software text-to-speech synthesizer available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Developed by Yury Popov, eSpeak-NG supports over 100 languages and accents. It is built upon the original eSpeak engine created by Jonathan Duddington. The app acts as a compatibility layer between the eSpeak NG library and Apple VoiceOver, enhancing accessibility for users with visual impairments. eSpeak-NG on the App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/espeak-ng/id6444089174 transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello AppleVis. This is Ida again and I'm back with another demonstration. This one is somewhat by request, so thank you for the person who requested this podcast. They said that they really wanted a demonstration of this app, so I hope that this is satisfactory. I am doing a demonstration today of the eSpeak NG app. This app will add the eSpeak synthesizer to VoiceOver for anybody who wants it. There are settings that you have to change within the app, or that you can change within the app if you want to, and then you can go into the actual VoiceOver settings to start using eSpeak. Right now I'm using Daniel, which is not an eSpeak voice, but I will select an eSpeak voice throughout this demonstration. So I am in the app right now, and the first thing you get... It says eSpeak NG. It's eSpeak NG, Daniel. Learn how to pronounce words, please. Anyway, so this is the name of the app. So the first button you come to, if I swipe to the right here, that button allows you to set up what languages you want VoiceOver to have available to you in the eSpeak app. So if I go in here... First thing you see is back, of course. You can search in that field for a specific voice and language. Okay, I deselected that one because that is not my user-preferred language. As you can tell by Daniel, he is English UK, not English US, so I deselected that. But in order to do that, I had to keep going to the right. Let me show you. So under user-preferred, the only thing that seems to be there is English United States. Whether it's selected or not, you can double-tap to select and deselect it. Under this system heading, it gives you all the languages. And the only one in here for English right now is English UK because I deselected the English United States. So that means that when we go into the VoiceOver settings, the eSpeak United States English voices will not be available because I deselected that one. Because I personally think that United States English eSpeak sounds very bad, which I will demonstrate in a moment. But you have all of these languages that you can, of course, choose what language is your preferred language in this languages listed below may be poorly supported by VoiceOver and might be broken at all. They are available in spoken content. Okay, so that's a little disclaimer about the eSpeak app and the VoiceOver languages that it supports. Okay, so then it's just going……
In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates the new Stolen Device Protection feature introduced in iOS 17.3. This feature is designed to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode. Thomas begins by explaining the purpose of the Stolen Device Protection feature. It prevents unauthorized individuals from performing critical device and Apple ID account operations, like changing your device passcode or Apple ID password. This is achieved by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID, with no passcode fallback. He then moves on to the step-by-step guide on how to enable the Stolen Device Protection feature: Go to Settings. Depending on your iPhone model, do one of the following: On an iPhone with Face ID: double Tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode. On an iPhone with a Home button: double Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode. Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then double tap Turn On Protection. Note: If you don't see the Stolen Device Protection section, you may need to set up Face ID or Touch ID first. The episode also covers the Security Delay feature, which requires a successful Face ID or Touch ID authentication, an hour wait, then an additional successful biometric authentication. This feature helps prevent someone from making changes to settings that can lock you out of your iPhone or Apple ID account. For further details about the Stolen Device Protection feature, you can refer to the following resource: Use Stolen Device Protection on iPhone https://support.apple.com/is-is/guide/iphone/iph17105538b/ios transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello and welcome. My name is Thomas Donville, also known as AnonyMouse. I'm going to talk to you today about a feature called Stolen Device Protection. Now this will be ultimately up to you if you want to turn this feature on. This is a feature that will just kind of enhance your security protection for your iPhone and other settings. I'll explain a little more here. When this item is set to on, this will give you an additional protection when it comes to anytime that your phone is stolen or gets lost. In theory, the feature came about, unfortunately, because there have been some incidents where people will be watching other people gain access to their iPhone, whether that's using the passcode or using their biometric authentication to get into the phone and thus forth then gets stolen from that person. Or maybe perhaps you lost your phone and somebody somehow, someway gets onto your phone one form or another. Well this protection will defeat from that person being able to make changes to some critical areas on your device. So the first layer of protection when this is turned on, this will protect you from them being able to access to certain settings that will now require a biometric authentication. So it kind of bypass if there weren't any passcode to that area before, you will now have to be able to use authentication by a biometric……

This is Ida and it is currently 2 o' 5 p.m. Central Time and I am here with a podcast tutorial on VoStarter. This app is an app that teaches voiceover for iOS users. It does assume some basic knowledge of voiceover, I've noticed. The first couple lessons start out pretty simple, but then it quickly jumps into more advanced things. So I will be demonstrating a few of the lessons and making some comments as I go. So here we go, open VoStarter. Ok. Welcome to VoStarter for iOS. After completion of these tutorials, you will have been introduced to nearly all of the concepts associated with using voiceover on your iOS device. To get started, simply double tap the screen with one finger. This will begin the first lesson. Good luck on your journey. Ok that is the introduction. You can also, if you don't want voiceover to read it to you, you can swipe over to the continue, I mean the listen button, sorry. Welcome to Arctic to Gifts. Good luck toolbar. Listen. Button. Yeah this toolbar has a menu button which is where you go to select a lesson if you've completed this tutorial or if you want to skip ahead a little bit and later in the tutorial there is also a continue button that appears on this menu. But for now, if we double tap on listen. Welcome to VoStarter for iOS. After completion of these tutorials, you will have been introduced to nearly all of the concepts associated with using voiceover on your iOS device. To get started, simply double tap the screen with one finger. This will begin the first lesson. Good luck on your journey. Ok here's what I don't like about this though. Even when you're on the listen button and it says simply double tap the screen with one finger, well if I do that now from the listen button, it's not going to continue. After completion of these tutorials, you will be introduced to nearly all of the concepts associated with using voiceover on your iOS device. To get started, simply double tap the screen with one finger. But not there. This will begin the first lesson. Good luck on your journey. So what you have to do is swipe back to the left. Now there's a lesson later in this tutorial on flicking which is also swiping but I'm sure most of you AppleVis users already know about swiping and double tapping. So we're going to flick back to the left. Menu. Good luck on your journey. Ok. Now, one thing I want to let you know is that because the continue button……

Hey have you been in this position where like myself I keep opening up different apps and it just seems like one form or another is always popping up hey would you like to review this app and give the app some rating and you know I do this every so often and when I'm in a good mood or whatever not or if I feel like the app really deserved to have a rating I want to go ahead and give that rating but the thing I don't like is that it just keeps coming up every so often so I feel like that there needs to be a balance and I need to and I will vote and give you a rating when I am ready to do that so if you are one of those people you see these little pop-ups and it seems like it's popping up everywhere have no fear there is a nice little settings that we can just simply turn on and off to disable this pop-up so let me to show you where that's at and we're gonna head right over to settings settings double tap to open and let's do that one finger don't tap to open up settings settings and now we are going to to go to the right and she get to App Store App Store button yep it's way down there but once we find it go ahead and do one finger double tap on this allow App Store to access heading now you're gonna keep swiping to the right until you find a button for in app rating and review in app ratings and reviews switch button on double tap to toggle setting all we got to do is one finger double tap just to turn this off off and voila now you have this set off now of course when this is set off you'll never get that pop-up again however now in saying that and I want to make this pretty clear is that I know the developers out there are probably screaming at me for suggesting anything like this to you because I get it because what they want they want you to rate it as often as you can because that gives them more visibility and that leads to more downloads and more sales to them so I get that but I believe in a fair balance that I am able to do a few votes but I don't want to be pester all the time so that is the option why I can turn that on and off and keep in mind there's a lot of apps out there if you just go into the apps that you like and then go into into settings or about area they typically have a little……

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to enable or disable predictive text and inline predictive text on iOS. Predictive text allows you to write entire sentences with just a few taps. As you type, suggested words, emoji, and information appear above the onscreen keyboard. You can double tap a suggestion to apply it. Inline predictions complete the word or phrase you’re currently typing, appearing in gray text. To accept an inline prediction, double tap the Space bar; to reject it, keep typing. You can manage predictive text settings in Keyboard settings on your iPhone 12 or newer models running iOS 17 or later versions. Open Settings on your iPhone. Scroll down and double tap on General. Double tap Keyboard. Double tap the Predictive switch to enable or disable predictive text. To manage inline predictive text, ensure that the Predictive switch is enabled or disabled. While typing, you’ll see inline predictions. To accept a suggestion, double tap the Space bar; to reject it, keep typing. transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

Now every so often when I am composing an email or I'm trying to send off a text to a friend or family whatever that might be and I'm using the keyboard as I'm typing there is something called predictive text that will pop up so it tries to predict what you are going to spell out and this feature what this does it tries to help you shorten your typing that you have to do so you just find the various words on top of your keyboard tap on that and it selects that then they have this inline predictive text now which is a newer feature which takes it a next step that allows you to highlight within the text itself and allows you to choose those words but for me those are distracting I am trying to focus and I am NOT a multitasker as I would love to be but as I'm typing along I it just bothers me hearing these words pop up and they don't help me at all I want to kind of stay focused and type in what I want so I'm going to show you how you can turn those features off if you are interested in doing so and if you are distracted like I am when those things come up I'm also going to show you some pointers and advice some other things you can turn off as well what they call features and for some may be distracting to you as well or something that drives you bonkers so do in order to go and change this settings we are going to head over to the native settings itself settings double tap to open now that you located the settings let's do one finger double tap to open this up settings now you are going to need to swipe to the right until we get to something called general general button and we are going to do one finger double tap here about button and now we are looking for something called keyboard so swipe to the right until you get to keyboard keyboard button and at last we are here one finger double tap on keyboard keyboards to button now the easiest way to get to the area that we need to do is set your rotor to headings and go to the first heading all keyboards heading and now what we're looking for is predictive text so swipe to the right a couple times and……

Hello AppleVis, good evening from Ida and tonight I'm going to be doing a podcast app demonstration of an app called Connected Breath. This is a meditation app that connects people from all around the world to do a meditation together. So this app works just similar to apps that are social media apps where you can connect in real time with people but you can't communicate with them. It simply shows you how many people are using the app at a time. So if I open the app, open Connected Breath, this app is used in portrait mode and the first thing we get is to select breathing duration. You can do one, three, or five minutes. I'm going to select three minutes and then I will show you what happens. For anybody who's curious, I'm using an iPad. I'm using Daniel as my voice over voice, the compact version of Daniel because I like him better than the enhanced and I'm using an Apple keyboard that doubles as an iPad case. So you can choose to breathe for one, three, or five minutes in this app. I'm going to double tap on three minutes and you're going to hear a bell. And then go to the bottom of the screen, okay that message is going to change throughout the meditation. I will show you, okay so that's the starting sound and then breathe in, breathe out. This message is changing with the music. Breathe in, breathe out, and now it's going to change. You are breathing in and then it's going to tell you how many. Seven other people are currently connected right now. The stars in the distance are the people breathing, that's the visual representation. We are all breathing together, we are all connected, I guess I don't need to repeat. Now close your eyes and focus on your breath. Now the rest of the time it's going to say breathe in and breathe out over and over again. And for those of you with perfect pitch, you will notice that it's saying breathe in on the C chord and breathe out on this like A minor type chord. So if you don't want to constantly listen to the messages, just listen to the music and follow the music. You hear the peaceful nature sounds in the background? You kind of hear a breathing noise too, it's kind of creepy honestly. Breathe in and breathe out. See it's still changing from breathe in to breathe out. And it will……

AppleVis Podcast
In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to start your Mac in safe mode and explains in what situations this may be useful. Safe mode is a feature of macOS that disables login items, third-party drivers, and legacy system extensions at startup, useful if an incompatible item in one of these groups is causing a problem with your Mac. In addition, system caches are cleared, and a light check of your startup disk is performed when starting up in safe mode, which can identify possible issues that could be causing slower than expected performance. To start up in safe mode, start up the Mac while holding down the Power button, and interact with your startup disk (usually called Macintosh HD) in the grid that appears. Focus on the Continue button and route the mouse pointer to it by pressing VO-Command-F5, (or VO-Command-Globe-5 if you’re using a Mac with a Touch Bar) hold down the Shift key, and click the mouse. Maintenance tasks are completed once the Mac has finished starting; restart your Mac to exit this mode. If you’re trying to isolate a particular issue, attempt to reproduce it when in safe mode, and again once you leave this mode. If the issue no longer occurs, it was likely resolved by the maintenance tasks that macOS performed. If it doesn’t occur when in safe mode but returns once you leave this mode, you may want to remove login items for third-party apps, update, remove, or reinstall any third-party drivers or legacy system extensions, or contact their developers for assistance. For more information, check out the Apple Support article “Use safe mode on your Mac” Note: VoiceOver only works in safe mode on Macs with Apple Silicon. transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

Hey AppleVisers, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how and when to start your Mac in safe mode. Safe mode is a feature of macOS that prevents certain software components like login items, third-party drivers, and legacy system extensions from loading at startup. If you're having trouble starting your Mac or have some other issue that's tough to pin down, an incompatible item in one of these groups may be the culprit, and thus starting up in safe mode can help you rule that either in or out. In addition, when starting in safe mode, a light check of your startup disk is performed, similar to what happens when running first aid in Disk Utility, and your system caches are cleared, which can potentially improve the performance and responsiveness of your Mac if such files have become corrupted over time. Safe mode is a feature that's existed in macOS for a long time. The problem for voiceover users prior to Apple Silicon was that, as part of this mode, the audio driver was disabled, and thus the Mac could not provide any audible feedback, making voiceover effectively useless. However, with Apple Silicon, audio is supported, and thus voiceover users can use macOS in safe mode as if they were using it in any other boot screen. If you have enough usable vision to see the screen and want to start an Intel Mac in safe mode, you can do so by restarting it or turning it on while holding down the shift key. For a Mac with Apple Silicon, you'……

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse. Now, I've done a podcast before on Apple Watch and being able to identify and find your iPhone with the ping my iPhone from your Apple Watch.

And what that feature does is that it takes, I can go to my Apple Watch, go to the control center and use the ping my iPhone, double tap that, and then it'll start chiming and you can find your phone in no time by following the chime within the house or place that you left your iPhone. What if I told you, you can do the other way around? Yes. So this was very useful for me as I was on vacation shortly ago. And one of the things I came in, I was just hot. I was just hot and the Apple Watch was just making me hotter, right? You got to get that watch off. And so I put it down and Lord, behold, I forget where I left the Apple Watch.
