Peggy,
While I use NFB Newsline regularly on my iPhone, I can tell you that,
for me, the process of placing TV channels in my favorites, when using
the app, is difficult and unintuitive. I don't remember the steps I had
to take to place a channel in my favorites with the app and I'd need
some time to work out exactly what I did. I found it easier to do this
via the old-fashioned phone service which was easier, although I also
can't recall the steps off the top of my head. If someone remembers and
can identify an easy process for adding channels to the favorites with
the iOS app I'd be most grateful for the tip, along with Peggy.

Hi David,
I try to put channels in the TV listings or in my favorites but I can't seem to
do so no matter what I do. I thought I had it figured out on my landline but
when I went back to try and retrieve my favorites I had problems there also.
Help
I am using the News line app which is on my phone I have no difficulty in
publications and in the favorites in that area but when I try and do it with
the TV listings I can't get it to work.
Thanks.

Peggy,
When you mention trying to use NFB Newsline on your mobile phone are you
referring to the NFB Newsline app or are you just using your mobile phone to
call in as you do with your landline?
I assume you probably mean the app but ... you know what they say about assuming.
<smile>
If it's the app you're using, is it the iOS app?
If so, what happens when you try and access the TV listings?

Hi David,
Maybe you can help me or someone on the list can. I am using NFB-Newsline and I
am trying to figure out how to use the TV listings no matter what I do, I can
get them to work on my home phone but not on my mobile phone.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Peggy Kane by the way you have a great list

I would like to apologize for what I consider to be an extremely rude message
from Jude which he sent publicly to this group. The reason why I started this
group was not only to have it be a support for people in or near the Philly
area but I want it to be a safe place where people of all abilities and skill
levels can ask questions and provide support to one another, regardless of
their level of knowledge. All of us have areas of expertise in different
subjects. All of us, myself most definitely included, have questions and get
into situations where we need to ask for assistance in an environment in which
we can all feel safe and not judged. I can well remember asking a lot of
questions to a lot of very patient people back in the early 1990s when I was
first learning my way around a computer. Even now in 2017 I still come up with
situations where I need assistance and support from someone with more
experience and I would never want to be referred to as a dumb blind person. I

I can't have that in this group. I have, therefore, taken the liberty of

A more efficient way of doing an AND search on google is to enclose the search
in quotes especially since google limits searches to 10 different search
strings.
If you want to find sites with words near each other, you can use the NEAR
operator. Operators get written in all upper case when text strings.

In order that the list membership should not be accused of being dumb blind
people I leave you all with the following.
Google searching:
1) The OR operator mind the case gets you either of what's in the search string,
2) the AND operator gets you both of what's in the search string,
3) the (~) prefix on a string does soundex search on that string so if you're
not certain of the spelling google will search for it under all soundex
spellings,
4) the (-) operator excludes results you don't want in your search.

Jan,
To be honest, I didn't actually figure it out. I looked it up. <grin>

David, how on earth did you figure out that pressing the Sleep button
ten times would provide info re version and serial number? Anyway,
thanks for the info. Thanks, too, for the BARDtalk website. That,
along with many other goodies, is now proudly displayed in my
"Goldfield" folder.

The BARDtalk Web site contains tons of information concerning the NLS
digital talking player, including a very detailed FAQ. It appears that
the FAQ may not have been updated since 2011 but I'm sure most of the
material contained in it is still current. It mentions that Bookshare
content cannot be played on the player; this is actually not true as you
can download Bookshare books as standard mp3 files. If you download the
books as mp3 audio the NLS player will be able to play them.
I also made an error during tonight's call regarding determining the
version of the player you have. With no cartridge in the player, press
the sleep button ten times to get this information. The version and
serial number will repeat until you press any other key to stop.
Here's the link to the Bardtalk site.
