Hi John

I doubt there is anything Wireless For The Blind can do about the blocking
of certain content as it comes down to streaming rights.  I was all set to
listen to the match this morning when it suddenly went off. So I got out my iPod Touch and went straight to my favourites list in the radio app, and hey 
presto! I don't know what difference this is to listening to it on the
Sonata in respect of the way it works, but someone else may know the answer 
to that.

I could spend a lot of time browsing the App Store in the iPod Touch and
would love to get lots of different programs.  When they are practically
free, it's ok to risk it, but I would want a bit more recommendation of the 
more expensive purchases before going ahead.
While you are listening to say birdsong or a radio programme, VoiceOver also 
gives you other info like the DJ, song, name of bird, family from which it
comes ... It's amazing.

If anyone knows of other useful apps, please share them as I will do if I
find any that work with VoiceOver and may be of use.


Kind Regards,

Jackie Cairns

hi jackie this is one of my great anoying things about the sonata you cannot get the sport on it. my friend and i are in touch with the wireless for the 
blind to see if anything can be done about it. it is a real shame the
i-phone does not run flash as i could get the sheffield wednesday commentary 
from where i get it on the pc but you have to give apple great
congratulations on voice over and because it is a main stream device things are so so much cheaper the aps for example when you look at the new braille 
sense on hand which is small braille and really very good if you then
connect a braille device to the i-phone you vitually have the same for so so much cheaper. will be glad when the kindle app will become accessible on the 
i-phone though it may take some time.

0 My Apple keyboard arrived yesterday, and pairing it with my iPod Touch was 
0 extremely straightforward.  So I decided to visit the App Store and, for
59p 0 each, I bought four applications that work with VoiceOver.  They are
the 0 World Fact Book 2011, a dictionary and thesaurus, Tune In Radio and, 0 probably my favourite, Birds of Britain. The latter is an amazing little 0 program if you love bird sound and details. Not only can you play the song, 
0 but you can listen to VoiceOver provide a description of their size,
colour, 0 family, time of year etc.  There is also a favourites button to
use where 0 you can add a library of your favourite birds to it.
0
0 Tune In Radio is great. Similarly, there is a bookmark facility where you 
0 can make a list of the stations you wish to add.  Because I love tennis,
and 0 the Australian Open is on at the moment, I have great difficulty
getting it 0 on DAB as we have such a diabolical signal in these parts. So when I tuned 0 in using the Sonata at 8,00 this morning, a message said that 
restricted 0 rights prevented coverage.  I find this often happens at
weekends when 0 football matches are in progress too. So I tuned my iPod to 
Sports Extra 0 and, low and behold, got the tennis on live.
0
0 All the above apps work with VoiceOver.  I don't use my keyboard for 0
everything, mainly when I get into tricky areas that need a bit of typing.
0 Mostly, I use my fingers and have got used to doing so now.
0
0 Just thought I'd pass on the info.
