Getting IBooks To Read To You Automatically With Page Turns?

Apr 7, 2010

Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_1_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7E18 Safari/528.16)

I know a few of you were interested in this. Here's how to do it (according to lioncourt.com, who are self proclaimed experts in Apple accessibility).

1. Turn VoiceOver on. Unless you're using it all the time, I suggest going to the settings pane and choose Accessibility, VoiceOver then check 'triple click of home to turn VoiceOver on or off' or whatever the option is. Can't check right now as I am using my iPhone to post this and if I come out of Safari this text will disappear.

2. Open iBooks and the book you want. Triple click the home button to tum VoiceOver on. It will say 'VoiceOver on'.

3. Place two fingers on the screen. Make sure they're fingers held next to each other. Flick those fingers downwards in a smooth quick motion. You may have to practice to get it right.

4. VoiceOver will begin to read the page from the top, and when it gets to the bottom, it will turn the page for you and carry on speaking the next page. And so on. To stop it just tap on the screen anywhere with one finger (VoiceOver will most likely read whatever is under your finger, then stop. )

5. Unless you want to carry on using VoiceOver gsetures for everything else you do with your ipad, remember to triple click to turn it off again when done.

Caveats to this are that I do not have an ipad to test this because I'm a forgotten UK apple fan, I'm just relaying what lioncourt.com has said. Usually they get it right with regards to VoiceOver but not always.

Here's someone else's youtube demo for those who can see (no narration to describe how to do it, just a video of someone doing it) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5kLiRxuuq0

Turns The Whole Page Darker

Aug 10, 2010

Does anyone here get bothered by all the pop-ups from the Safari browser itself? Touch the iPad longer than intended and you get all this save-copy-paste pop-ups. Not only that, it also turns the whole page darker (highlighted). Is there an option to turn off the editing mode.

Screen Turns Blue When Page Scroll In Safari

Apr 13, 2010

When I scroll down a page in Safari I use my thumb along the right side to scroll; however, often times the screen turns blue signifying a copy/paste, not what I want to happen. Using the text area to scroll one needs to be careful not to open a "hot" link to another web page.Sure would be nice to have a wider right-side scroll area that isn't sensitive to a copy request.

Buy Read And Sell Them Ibooks?

Aug 26, 2010

I buy books, read them, then sell them, then use those proceeds to buy more books. That way, I can get new books when they come out, but not clutter my library or tie up my capital in them.So, I want to do the same with my ibooks. I want to buy them, read them, and sell them.

I can't find an ibook aftermarket. Can you buy used ibooks? Corrolary, can you sell them? Is there a medium that is currently already doing this? Or do I need to create one?

Log In Page Automatically Opens After Connecting

Jul 2, 2010

At my school the wifi needs to be set up with a proxy. I add the correct server/port info, and then click on the network to get on it. It connects, then brings up the log in page to Apple.com, so I know the internet is working, but I need to know how to get out of the login page, without it dropping the network (ie clicking the home button or clicking cancel). The wifi does not have a username and password requirement, all it needs is the server/port numbers.

How To Read Hebrew EPubs On IBooks?

Apr 19, 2010

We received some feedback from our users who own an iPad, that Hebrew ePubs display properly on the iBooks.
The only problem they faced (so far) is that the pages are being displayed the other way around (i.e. Left to Right as in English instead of Right to Left as it should be in Hebrew or Arabic). Just t make it clear, the Hebrew text itself is being perfectly displayed. It's just the pages order which makes reading awkward. Is there any way to change this page appearance settings or should I consider it as a "bug"?
