Hello,
I am forwarding an email from another list concerning Blind square on the Apple
watch.
This seems to be a major update from Blind square.
ALBERT
Jaws Home Eddition 2020
Operating System Windows 10 Home (x64) Version 2004 (build 19041.508)
Subject: BlindSquare update
BlindSquare has a major update September 25, 2020. Please share widely.
BlindSquare,
1. Speech Recognition. Apple has made dramatic improvements with Speech
Recognition. Starting with version 5.0 we now use Apple's own in-device
service, free for use in all BlindSquare versions.
2. Apple Watch Support. Our community has asked for Apple Watch Support. With
BlindSquare version 5.0, all generations of Apple Watch are now supported with
primary features. The feature list will expand in future versions. BlindSquare,
on the iPhone, must be running when being controlled from the Apple Watch.
Apple Watch menu selections currently include:
- SLEEP
- LOOK Around
- ADD Place
- Change announcement radius
- WHERE am I
- Around me
If you are tracking a place, its distance and direction are announced
automatically always when you glance at the Watch App.
For people who have Apple Watch 5 (or newer) BlindSquare makes use of the new
on-board compass providing directional support for LOOK Around, simply by
rotating the watch in the direction of your interest! You can select “LOOK
Around” by voice command, from the iOS APP or using the BlindSquare Apple Watch
menu.
BlindSquare will use the Apple Watch Gen 5 compass for LOOK Around whenever
the arm/watch is lifted.
Turning the arm/watch will provide new compass directions to BlindSquare with
immediate reports on locations in proximity in the current direction.
3. BlindSquare PHOTO POI. BlindSquare can now create personal POIs from photos
on your iPhone. These photos can be your own or those shared from friends.
BlindSquare uses the location data, recorded automatically when location
service is enabled, to create the geo referenced POI.
Actions: 1. Go to the PHOTO’s app on your iPhone.
2. Select ONE photo
3. Select “SHARE”
4. Select the new option “BlindSquare” (NOTE: multiple images or videos are
not supported)
5. Provide a comment or name and select “POST”
6. BlindSquare will launch and show “Place Screen” for the location where the
photo was taken. You can FAVOURITE, save it, simulate, look on the map, etc.
NOTE: BlindSquare uses EXIF metadata. Location Services must be enabled when
the picture is taken for EXIF metadata to be recorded and available.
Other changes:
- When sharing your location, Latitude and Longitude are provided in EMAIL
subject and in SMS MESSAGES.
- If the pedometer is disabled from “SHAKE SETTINGS” it will also disable
automatic announcements
- Now supports dark mode and color preferences
BlindSquare, now in its 8th year, will continue to build new and exciting
features into BlindSquare version 5. , Version 5.0 • 66 MB
