Hi Peter.The app doesn't just help you find things, stop being such a cynic *smile*, and check out T9Nav. It fully index searches your entire phone, so you can quickly get to contacts, menu functions, calendar appointments, music tracks, web bookmarks, in fact anything that can be accessed directly or indirectly.
All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Holdstock" <peterholdstock@xxxxxxx>

So I'd need to have paid a fiver to get an app to help me find things? -------------------------------------------------- From: "Hussein Patwa" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 11:11 AM To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: Ipod Touch! and MacsHi Ibrahim, Thanks for the tip, I'm going to give that app a look over.

Bet youdidn't know that? If you want the 20th option then life gets a little trickier, but start arrowing up rather than down. Also you can set up to 8 shortcuts on your phone, which can be accessed with single keys, using the joystick and key1 and key2. Because you really wanted to learn the iPhone, you did, and I respect that, but people don't always invest the time to learn Talks and the phone itself.

The onlydownfall is the typing but now that apps such as dragon dictate are aroundthat problem is solved. I can work much quicker using the iphone/ipod gestures then I ever could with Talks, having to try and move around a screen and navigate menus.

I am totally blind and I use the iPod touch. It is not an efficientinterface for the blind, but totally usable, and pretty well accessible.But Apple have designed voiceover so that it can be used by totals. It's a good music player, but I wouldn't want an iPhone for example, as for productivity it really sucks big time in my view.

You're the first VI person I've come across usingtheTouch and I'd be fascinated at just how much of the functionality of the device you are able to use whilst remaining with the stock firmware. Ifyoudon't mind my prying, but you must have some residual sight to handle thetouch interface? Would you say this is worth considering for others needingto look for a new media player (for example, if my iPod Video ever kicksthe bucket) or would it be too difficult to handle?Now for your questions. For video conversion I use AVS Video Converter.Itis a paid for solution but offers a wide range of presets you can choose from, including for iPods. It's also accessible with my Supernova screen reader, or easy to see if you are using magnification. No doubt someone will offer a free solution as I'm sure I've heard of one myself, but thename escapes me right now. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

Yes, the new32 GB Ipod Touch. I've listened to a couple of podcasts re this and have gotto grips pretty well with it's function and how to get around it. I havea couple of questions however. I know there is a more specialised list which T and T run but wondered if there were many on the list? Also, does anyone have the sub details? Now for my questions: 1 What is the easiest way to get .avi files onto the ipod? I believe theyneed to be converted first, how do people find the accessibility of theseconversion tools? Also, where can I get the most accessible one from? When I go into the music section of the front screen, is there a way toeasily switch between artis, album and song views? How easy is it to setup play lists? Anyone got any suggestions for really cool aps which are free? Also though, any paid ones which, again, are accessible? I am pretty knocked out at how easy the touch screen is to manipulate. As an additional question, how accessible are apple mac computers in general?presumably, there is more facilities in the full blown voice over ap? I hear it is akin to window eyes? So, does that mean you can get the listof links etc in safari? Are there any more tutorials etc for the touch? And my final question, How similar is it to the I-phone? Best wishes.
