vi Enhancing iOS Device Security with Stolen Device Protection By www.applevis.com Published On :: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 14:40:32 +0000 In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates the new Stolen Device Protection feature introduced in iOS 17.3. This feature is designed to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode.Thomas begins by explaining the purpose of the Stolen Device Protection feature. It prevents unauthorized individuals from performing critical device and Apple ID account operations, like changing your device passcode or Apple ID password. This is achieved by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID, with no passcode fallback.He then moves on to the step-by-step guide on how to enable the Stolen Device Protection feature:Go to Settings. Depending on your iPhone model, do one of the following: On an iPhone with Face ID: double Tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode. On an iPhone with a Home button: double Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode. Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then double tap Turn On Protection.Note: If you don't see the Stolen Device Protection section, you may need to set up Face ID or Touch ID first.The episode also covers the Security Delay feature, which requires a successful Face ID or Touch ID authentication, an hour wait, then an additional successful biometric authentication. This feature helps prevent someone from making changes to settings that can lock you out of your iPhone or Apple ID account.For further details about the Stolen Device Protection feature, you can refer to the following resource:Use Stolen Device Protection on iPhonehttps://support.apple.com/is-is/guide/iphone/iph17105538b/iostranscription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello and welcome.My name is Thomas Donville, also known as AnonyMouse.I'm going to talk to you today about a feature called Stolen Device Protection.Now this will be ultimately up to you if you want to turn this feature on.This is a feature that will just kind of enhance your security protection for your iPhone and other settings.I'll explain a little more here.When this item is set to on, this will give you an additional protection when it comes to anytime that your phone is stolen or gets lost.In theory, the feature came about, unfortunately, because there have been some incidents where people will be watching other people gain access to their iPhone, whether that's using the passcode or using their biometric authentication to get into the phone and thus forth then gets stolen from that person.Or maybe perhaps you lost your phone and somebody somehow, someway gets onto your phone one form or another.Well this protection will defeat from that person being able to make changes to some critical areas on your device.So the first layer of protection when this is turned on, this will protect you from them being able to access to certain settings that will now require a biometric authentication.So it kind of bypass if there weren't any passcode to that area before, you will now have to be able to use authentication by a biometric… Full Article
vi eSpeak-NG: A Compact TTS Solution for Apple Devices By www.applevis.com Published On :: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 15:26:37 +0000 In this episode, Ida Grace introduces eSpeak-NG, a compact open-source software text-to-speech synthesizer available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Developed by Yury Popov, eSpeak-NG supports over 100 languages and accents. It is built upon the original eSpeak engine created by Jonathan Duddington. The app acts as a compatibility layer between the eSpeak NG library and Apple VoiceOver, enhancing accessibility for users with visual impairments.eSpeak-NG on the App Storehttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/espeak-ng/id6444089174transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content. Hello AppleVis.This is Ida again and I'm back with another demonstration.This one is somewhat by request, so thank you for the person who requested this podcast.They said that they really wanted a demonstration of this app, so I hope that this is satisfactory.I am doing a demonstration today of the eSpeak NG app.This app will add the eSpeak synthesizer to VoiceOver for anybody who wants it.There are settings that you have to change within the app, or that you can change within the app if you want to, and then you can go into the actual VoiceOver settings to start using eSpeak.Right now I'm using Daniel, which is not an eSpeak voice, but I will select an eSpeak voice throughout this demonstration.So I am in the app right now, and the first thing you get...It says eSpeak NG.It's eSpeak NG, Daniel.Learn how to pronounce words, please.Anyway, so this is the name of the app.So the first button you come to, if I swipe to the right here, that button allows you to set up what languages you want VoiceOver to have available to you in the eSpeak app.So if I go in here...First thing you see is back, of course.You can search in that field for a specific voice and language.Okay, I deselected that one because that is not my user-preferred language.As you can tell by Daniel, he is English UK, not English US, so I deselected that.But in order to do that, I had to keep going to the right.Let me show you.So under user-preferred, the only thing that seems to be there is English United States.Whether it's selected or not, you can double-tap to select and deselect it.Under this system heading, it gives you all the languages.And the only one in here for English right now is English UK because I deselected the English United States.So that means that when we go into the VoiceOver settings, the eSpeak United States English voices will not be available because I deselected that one.Because I personally think that United States English eSpeak sounds very bad, which I will demonstrate in a moment.But you have all of these languages that you can, of course, choose what language is your preferred language in this languages listed below may be poorly supported by VoiceOver and might be broken at all.They are available in spoken content.Okay, so that's a little disclaimer about the eSpeak app and the VoiceOver languages that it supports.Okay, so then it's just going… Full Article

To view your computer's internal or "Private" IPV4 address, which you'll need to enter on your iPhone or iPad, either use the ipconfig command line tool as demonstrated in the episode, or locate it via the GUI by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Hardware and connection properties.To connect to the computer from your iPhone or iPad, open the Files app, double-tap the "More" button near the top right of the screen, and choose "Connect to server" from the resulting menu. Enter your computer's IP address in the "Server address" field, and double-tap Connect. You'll then be prompted to authenticate with the username and password you use to log into the computer, after which it should appear in the brows view of the Files app, under the "Shared" heading.Once connected, you can brows and modify the file and folder structure of the C Drive from the Files app, as well as transfer files from other apps on your device to this location. To disconnect your iPhone or iPad from your computer, focus on it in the brows view of the Files app and choose "eject" from the Actions rotor.Note: This feature was demonstrated on a computer running Windows 11. While it is available on prior versions of Windows, the process for configuring it may be slightly different.transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

Hello there and welcome to AppleVis Extra number 98.My name is Dave Nason.Because it is June we are talking, of course, about WWDC and because it is AppleViz I am talking, of course, to Thomas Domville.How are you today, Tom?Hey, I'm pretty good.Boy, was that a show or what?It was.Nearly two hours that went on and, yeah, it was probably the most anticipated WWDC I can remember in a long time.Like everybody was waiting for this one, waiting for the announcement.So before we get into the nitty-gritty, did it meet those expectations for you?Definitely.I had a check box of all the things I wanted to hear and it definitely checked all the tick box that I wanted to see and hear.So I was very happy with the results.And I know there were some disappointments out there as well, but that's what we'll be talking about.Yeah, for sure.And it's funny, we've had a few of these announcements in recent months from all the companies, you know, Google had IO, Microsoft had events, OpenAI had an event, and they've all, you know, Google especially and so on.They've shorn the words AI or the letters AI into every sentence of the entire thing it seemed, whereas Apple, it was kind of, it must have been nearly an hour before they set the term, though I thought that was interesting.So we might take the same approach to them and we will kick off with the regular updates, you might call them, to iOS and Vision OS and Mac OS and so on.And then we can have a chat through the so-called AI.That sounds great.I think that'd be perfect.So they did kick off with Vision OS and I don't think we need to.Why not, man?You know, it is kind of odd that, you know, it's only been four months since they released it and they actually have a Vision OS 2 that comes out.I'm thinking, wow, this is kind of, not only that, but it really didn't feel like it was a 2.I mean, it was like one big thing and that was it.I was kind of really disappointed.I mean, yeah, granted that 3D photos sounds cool now, but definitely not for anything for us.No, no.And laserhertz, you know, Marcus Brownlee, you know, he said, it's more, felt like more of a 1.2 than a 2.Exactly.It was like a 1.2.It was like a 1.5 update.That was it.But I guess what they're doing there is they're getting it onto their summer cycle.That's all that really is.So next year, it'll be 3 and, you know, go from there, I guess.So it makes sense.But what it included was, yeah, you can turn any photo into a 3D experience or whatever the correct terminology is and some new gestures.But from an accessibility point of view, we're not aware of anything really.You know, it's still a product that is very limited in terms of availability and, you know, what it can… Full Article
