> Hello All,
>
> This is the Web Master at Voiceover-Easy.net with our third news letter.
> You are receiving this email because you have contacted me via email
> sometime in the past with questions or comments about VoiceOver-Easy.net. 
> I
> would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your comments
> and suggestions.  They have helped to make Voiceover-Easy.net a better, 
> more
> usable website which is being viewed in over 70 countries.
>
>
>
> In this issue I will cover New lesson material which has been added since
> the last Newsletter as well as some new features which I hope will make 
> the
> website easier to use.
>
>
>
> New and Updated Lessons
>
>
>
> 1.        Unit 3: Using the Phone has been updated to reflect the new
> capabilities of the iPad to receive and make phone calls in iOS8.  The 
> unit
> has been renamed to "Phone Features", and is now visible no matter if you
> are learning about iPhones or iPads.
>
>
>
> 2.        A new unit on Security and Privacy was added.  Securing Your iOS
> device covers concepts about security in general, and then talks about
> specific things you can do to protect your device  and its data from loss 
> or
> theft.  The second lesson in this unit is about protecting your privacy. 
> It
> covers some things you can do to make it harder for those near you to
> eavesdrop on what you are doing, as well as some general issues about
> privacy in the digital age and how the ways you use your iOS device can
> affect your privacy.
>
>
>
> 3.        Some Lessons have been updated with new features from iOS 8.3.
> You will need to select iOS 8.3 from the combo box in order to see the new
> sections.  The first lesson is Text Messaging: Section 2.6,  Filter 
> Unknown
> Senders.  A way to filter out text messages from senders who are not in 
> your
> contacts list.  It's helpful for ignoring those annoying SPAM text 
> messages.
> The second is the lesson on Siri:  Section 6.4, Calling Someone on Speaker
> Phone.  When you use Siri to make a call, you can now tell Siri to put the
> call on speaker.
>
> 4.       A new lesson called "On the Clock" was added to Unit 6: It's 
> About
> Time. This lesson teaches you about the Clock application. The Clock App 
> has
> four functions; a world clock, an alarm clock, a stopwatch, and a Timer.
>
> 5.       Several readers have asked why Voiceover seems to read items on 
> the
> screen out of order. Section 7.5 of Orientation and Basics was updated to
> explain this.
>

>
> New Features
>
>
>
> 1.       Great News!  VoiceoverEasy.net now remembers your settings for
> Device Type, iOS Version, and Color Scheme from one visit to the next.  In
> other words, you no longer have to reset these settings each time you come
> back to the site.  To do this VoiceoverEasy.net uses a Cookie.  Your 
> browser
> must accept cookies for this feature to work.  If you are using an iPhone 
> or
> iPad to read the lessons, they also must be configured to accept cookies.
> This is detailed in the lesson on Privacy.  You must also unselect the
> "Private" button under the "Pages" tab in Safari.
>
>
>
>
>
> 1.        You no longer have to worry about nnavigating to the drop down
> list to select your device type.  If you have not selected one at the 
> start
> of each lesson, or if Voiceover-Easy.net looses track of it, the chance to
> select it appears right at the beginning of the lesson.  If you have 
> already
> chosen a device type and iOS version, the lesson will tell you at the
> beginning which device type and iOS version it is set up to teach you 
> about.
> If you need to change them, you can do so in the same manner as before.
>
>
>
> 2.            A Distribution Authorization Request form has been created 
> for
> instructors who would like to distribute Voiceover-Easy.net copyrighted
> materials.  Once you complete the form, it will generate an email message 
> to
> the web master.  You should hear within 1 to 3 days if you have been given
> permission.  There is normally no charge to distribute the materials if 
> you
> do the printing or brailling yourself.  Please note that you are 
> prohibitted
> from distributing the courseware in whole or in part in any form without
> express written permission from VoiceoverEasy.net.
>
>
>
> 3.       To assist you with creating a hard or electronic copy for your
> personal use or for authorized distribution there is now a "Show settings
> and contents" check box at the top of each page.  When it is checked, the
> table of contents and the settings drop down lists are visible on the 
> right
> side of the page.  If you uncheck the box, the table of contents and the
> rest of the Navigation area is hidden, and the lesson text margins expand 
> to
> fill the void.  This should make it easier to copy the text into a word or
> PDF document for your reference/use when the web is not available.
>
>
>
> NOTE:  You may create one copy of each lesson and supplemental materials 
> for
> your personal use as a student or instructor.  You may not distribute 
> copies
> of these lessons, in whole or in part,  through print, braille, audio,
> electronic, or any other  format without the express written permission of
> Voiceover-Easy.net.
>
>
>
> 4.        Now you can help improve VoiceoverEasy.net by taking the 
> optional
> survey at the end of each lesson.  Your answers are anonymous, and all
> comments are welcome.  Help to shape the future of VoiceoverEasy.net.
>
>
>
> 5.       The VoiceoverEasy.net home page has been updated so that it has a
> similar format to the Lessons pages.  It is now divided into sections just
> as the lessons are.
>
>
>
> What's Next for Voiceover-Easy.net
>
>
>
> iOS 8.4 will be available this month and iOS9 is right around the corner.
> Over the summer the website will be updated to include the new features of
> each.  In addition, a lesson about the Safari web browser and a lesson on
> playing music  are on the drawing board.
