Bob:

I haven't forwarded the  letter to Steve, but have been corresponding to him
regularly about the tutorials, and have let him know how much I'm impressed
with what he has done.

It really is a good web site and set of tutorials.

> 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

> your personal use as a student or instructor.  You may not distribute

> electronic, or any other  format without the express written permission of

> 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
