The 'Wild Thoughts' hitmaker reveals his reaction upon learning that his 'Wish Wish' collaborator has managed to send in her verse for a song called 'Big Paper' on time.

The 'We Got Love' singer refuses to make new music at G.O.O.D Music because she felt 'underappreciated' at the record label owned by the 'Gold Digger' rapper.

The 'Old Town Road' hitmaker talks about dating in the public eye, insisting he will continue to date although he is worried that he might be used as a stepping stone.

The 'Shakespeare in Love' actress is caught on camera sneaking in through the backdoor while 50 people are patiently waiting for their turn outside of the building.

In this episode, Ida introduces us to RAINN, an iOS app designed to provide survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones with access to support, self-care tools, and information to help manage the short- and long-term effects of sexual violence.

The app's "Hotline" feature connects users directly to one-on-one support from trained specialists on RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline via phone or online chat, which is free, confidential, and available 24/7. Additionally, the "Self-Care" section of the app contains exercises to help users take a moment for themselves as they heal, such as a Mood Tracker, relaxing visuals, and calming meditation exercises. The "Learn" section includes helpful information on sexual violence topics, finding and giving support, and healing, as well as real-life stories of hope and healing from survivors. RAINN is the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the United States.

Welcome to a special episode of AppleVis Extra, where host Dave Nason is joined by Hans Wiberg, founder of Be My Eyes, and the new CEO of Be My Eyes, Mike Buckley, to discuss the recent announcement of Be My Eyes' new Virtual Volunteer feature powered by OpenAI's GPT-4 model.

Be My Eyes, a revolutionary app for the blind and low-vision community, has been connecting users with volunteers for assistance with everyday tasks since 2012. With the introduction of the Virtual Volunteer, powered by the advanced visual recognition capabilities of GPT-4, the app is set to take its power and value to new heights.

Hans and Mike share their excitement about the performance of GPT-4, stating that in the short time they've had access, it has shown unparalleled capabilities in image-to-text object recognition. The implications for global accessibility are profound, as this new feature has the potential to offer a greater degree of independence in the lives of blind and low-vision individuals.

The Virtual Volunteer stands out from other image recognition tools due to its ability to have conversations and offer comprehensive assistance with context and analysis. Users can send images of various tasks, such as identifying the contents of their fridge or reading a map, and the Virtual Volunteer not only identifies the objects but also provides additional information and suggestions, such as recipes that can be prepared with the ingredients.

The Virtual Volunteer tool is currently in beta and is anticipated to be available to users in Q3 2023 and will be free for all blind and low-vision community members using the Be My Eyes app. Don't forget to register in the Be My Eyes app to be placed on the waiting list for access to the Virtual Volunteer.

In this edition of the AppleVis Podcast, Dave Nason, Thomas Domville, and Tyler Stephen get together to discuss Apple's September 12 "Wonderlust" Event.

In this episode, Thomas Domville introduces us to the Text Detection feature added to the Magnifier app in iOS 17. This tool can read text aloud that is detected in real-time by your device camera or display it on the screen, making it a valuable resource for those with visual impairments or difficulties reading small or challenging text.

Here are the steps to access Text Detection:

1. Open the Magnifier app.
2. Choose the Detection Mode option.
3. Press the Text Detection button.
4. Aim your iPhone at the text you want to read.

Alternatively,

1. Initiate Detection Mode with a four-finger triple tap.
2. Press the Text Detection button.
3. Aim your iPhone at the text you want to read.

Note that Text Detection is only available on iPhone and iPad models with a LiDAR scanner.

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to create and use Safari website shortcuts or "Web apps" on macOS.

This feature allows you to create shortcuts to websites on your dock that when opened, behave as if the website was its own app. This may be useful for VoiceOver users, as web apps are included when pressing Command-Tab to cycle through open apps, making them easy to switch to and from. In addition, these web apps can be mapped to commands in Keyboard Commander so they can be accessed with a single keystroke.

To create a web app, go to a website in Safari and choose File > Add to Dock. Change the name and icon of the web app if you wish, and click Add. It can then be accessed via the Dock, or in the Applications folder in your Home folder, accessed by choosing Go > Home in Finder, or pressing Command-Shift-H. To map the web app to a command in Keyboard Commander, open Voiceover Utility > Commanders > Keyboard, click Add, type the key that you want to open the app when pressed, choose "Custom commands > Open application" from the menu, and navigate to and select the web app in the Open dialog.

In this episode, join Ida Grace as she explores the innovative BabySitMe app for iOS. This app, designed to simulate the experience of caring for a real infant, will revolutionize how you interact with your Reborn Baby Doll or any other baby dolls.

Simply activate the app when you’re ready to start your babysitting adventure, and switch it off once you’re done.

BabySitMe is engineered to mimic a real-life baby simulator when paired with your Reborn Baby. It’s an ideal choice for those seeking an extra layer of realism while role-playing with their Reborn Baby dolls. The app runs a schedule that instructs the user to feed, burp, rock, and perform all other essential infant care tasks. These actions are intended to be enacted in role play with the user’s Reborn Baby Doll.

The app offers four different simulation modes: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Play. The first three modes operate on a 24-hour schedule, each offering a different level of challenge. The Play mode is tailored for users seeking a fast-paced, condensed version of the simulation

You're listening to an AppleViz Podcast.

Hello and welcome.

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.

So like myself, I tend to put my phone in places I don't remember where I left it.

Are you one of those people?

Raise your hand.

Yep.

There's a few out there.

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.

Then I remembered, Hey, there's a feature that I can do the other way around.

And that's using my iPhone to ping my watch.

So I'm going to show you how to set that up and how this works.

And so you can find your Apple Watch as you could with your iPhone, with your Apple Watch.

So it's great both ways.

So we are going to go to your iPhone and we are going to go to the settings, because that is where we are going to have to turn this feature on.

And that lives in the control center of settings.

So let's go double tap settings, settings.

Now swipe to the right until you get to control center button, control center button.

Once you find that one finger, double tap, swipe down from the top right edge to open control center.

Now the easiest way to get to where we need to go is to set your order to headings.

And let's go to the first headings here, included controls heading.

These are the included controls.

So these are controls that shows up on your control center as of right now.

So here's a few of the controls I have set.

Remove timer, reorder timer button, direct remove code scanner, reorder code scanner, remove voice…

Tired of apps interrupting you with requests to rate and review? This episode with Thomas Domville will show you how to take control.

This iOS feature lets app developers ask you to rate and review their apps directly within the app. While helpful for developers, these pop-ups can be a nuisance , especially if they appear frequently.

How to Disable In-App Ratings & Reviews:

Find the Native Settings app and Double Tap to Open Settings
Now Swipe Right until you find the AppStore button and Double Tap to open
Locate by swiping right until you get to the "In-App Ratings & Reviews" and toggle the switch to the off position (

Remember: Disabling this feature only stops the in-app prompts. You can still search for apps in the App Store and leave ratings and reviews manually if you'd like to share your feedback.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Donville also known as AnonyMouse.

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, 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.

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 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.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville , also known as AnonyMouse.

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…
