Hello AppleVis, good evening from Ida and tonight I'm going to be doing a podcast app demonstration of an app called Connected Breath.

This is a meditation app that connects people from all around the world to do a meditation together.

So this app works just similar to apps that are social media apps where you can connect in real time with people but you can't communicate with them.

It simply shows you how many people are using the app at a time.

So if I open the app, open Connected Breath, this app is used in portrait mode and the first thing we get is to select breathing duration.

You can do one, three, or five minutes.

I'm going to select three minutes and then I will show you what happens.

For anybody who's curious, I'm using an iPad.

I'm using Daniel as my voice over voice, the compact version of Daniel because I like him better than the enhanced and I'm using an Apple keyboard that doubles as an iPad case.

So you can choose to breathe for one, three, or five minutes in this app.

I'm going to double tap on three minutes and you're going to hear a bell.

And then go to the bottom of the screen, okay that message is going to change throughout the meditation.

I will show you, okay so that's the starting sound and then breathe in, breathe out.

This message is changing with the music.

Breathe in, breathe out, and now it's going to change.

You are breathing in and then it's going to tell you how many.

Seven other people are currently connected right now.

The stars in the distance are the people breathing, that's the visual representation.

We are all breathing together, we are all connected, I guess I don't need to repeat.

Now close your eyes and focus on your breath.

Now the rest of the time it's going to say breathe in and breathe out over and over again.

And for those of you with perfect pitch, you will notice that it's saying breathe in on the C chord and breathe out on this like A minor type chord.

So if you don't want to constantly listen to the messages, just listen to the music and follow the music.

You hear the peaceful nature sounds in the background?

You kind of hear a breathing noise too, it's kind of creepy honestly.

Breathe in and breathe out.

See it's still changing from breathe in to breathe out.

And it will…

Speak & Share: Siri’s Secrets – Explore hidden Siri features for sharing on iOS.

In this episode, Thomas Domville delves into the seamless sharing of content from your iPhone screen via iMessage, thanks to Siri’s enhanced capabilities. Apple has equipped Siri with on-device processing, offline support, and advanced contextual awareness, which facilitates a smooth “Share This” feature.

Here’s the process:

When you’re in any supported application, such as Safari, Apple Music, or Photos, you can initiate sharing by saying, “Hey Siri, share this with [contact name].” Siri will grasp the context and ask for confirmation to share the particular content. Afterward, you have the option to append a personalized message before sending it off.

Should the content be unsharable directly, like a weather forecast, Siri cleverly captures a screenshot to share instead.

Call Cleanup: Simplifying Your iPhone Call History

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to delete your entire iPhone call history or a specific call.

There are several reasons why individuals might choose to delete their iPhone call history or specific call log entries. One common reason is to ensure privacy by removing records of personal or sensitive calls that they wish to keep confidential, especially from others who may have access to their phone. Additionally, deleting old or irrelevant call logs helps maintain an organized call history, making it easier to find important calls and reducing clutter. Sometimes, to prevent misunderstandings or confusion, one might delete a call log entry related to an accidental dial or a call received from a specific number. Furthermore, while call logs take up minimal storage space, clearing them can help free up a small amount of storage on the iPhone, which is particularly useful if there is an extensive call history accumulated over time.

To delete your entire call history on iOS, follow these steps:

Open the Phone app.
Double-tap on the “Recents” tab.
Double-tap on the “Edit” button near the upper left corner, and choose "select" from the resulting menu.
Select “Clear” to remove all call logs.

To delete a specific call log entry:

Navigate to the Recents tab.
Select the call you wish to delete.
Swipe down to reveal the “Delete” option and double tap it.

Please note that deleting call history is irreversible, and the deleted call log entries cannot be restored unless you have a backup made prior to the deletion. Therefore, it’s important to be cautious and only delete call log entries that you are sure you no longer need or that you prefer to keep confidential.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville.

Also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to show you how you can delete your iPhone call history or just specific calls in general.

So why does this pertain to you or to me, whatever that might be, there might be a number of reasons why you want to do that.

But first, let me go ahead and open up my phone app here so I can show you what I'm talking about in terms of what is call history.

Phone double tap to open within your phone.

Let's go ahead and double tap this so I can show you what is in the phone app as well.

Phone and let's go to the bottom right hand corner of the screen here.

Tab bar favorites.

Now if you double tap that as you hear there is already selected.

So if yours is not selected, go ahead and do one finger double tap on that.

Now let's go to the top of the screen here and I'm going to show you what's involved in this particular recent area.

Edit button.

As we swipe to the right and analyze and what's on the screen itself, the edit buttons always at the top left hand corner there as you swipe to the right.

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast I'll be demonstrating the NAD Sadhana app.

Now I did do a podcast on this in 2021.

So today is going to be about revisiting the app, because since my podcast in 2021, the app has undergone major changes when it comes to accessibility, like when it comes to features as well as accessibility improvements, simply user interface and all that great stuff.

And the developers really committed when it comes to accessibility, which is really great to see.

And what this app basically does, it basically listens to you and according to your singing, it will improvise.

The app is primarily based for Indian classical musicians, but the cool thing is that it also has styles for Western music as well.

And so you can say it's not…

Hello there and welcome to the AppleVis Extra.

This is episode number 101.

My name is David Nason and I'm delighted to be joined by two fantastic guests from Agiga.

We have Xiaoran Wang and HuaSong Cao

Is that correct, guys?

Thank you, David.

Thank you for having us.

So yeah, delighted.

And the product you're going to talk to us about is the Echo Vision.

So before we get into that, though, do you want to tell us a little bit about yourselves, the company, what you do, really, and how it all came about?

Sure.

My name is Xiaoran.

I'm the CEO, and before doing this company, actually, I had long experience building and shaping intelligent devices.

I started my career at Amazon Level 26.

That's the first place of the world's first Kindle and also the world's first Alexa.

And I was actually in the early team that developed Alexa devices.

And this experience gave me good exposure and got me enough experience on how to build a good intelligent device.

I think that's one of the confidence I brought in when I was doing this company that we can build a great product for the community.

Brilliant, and obviously, Alexa, a device that's very popular, being a voice-first product, very popular in the blind and visually impaired community.

So yeah, that's really cool.

And tell us about yourself, Hua Song.

Yeah, thanks, David.

So my name is Hua Song, and I'm an engineer by training.

Before I started this company with Xiaoran, I was with Google for about nine to ten years.

I did various software projects, and the latest one is Google Assistant, the voice assistant similar to Amazon counterparts.

Yeah, I've been enjoying doing software, building stuff, both hardware and software.

And with Giga, what we are trying to do is really to use our expertise built prior to this company and take that to something that we can really use to help everyone.

That's brilliant.

So do you want to quickly tell us what the product is, and then we can delve into a bit more detail.

Yeah, so the product is called EchoVision.

By looking, it looks like a normal pair of glasses.

The key feature is to articulate visual information into voices.

Think about it.

If you can't see this, and there's someone next to you, how will this person help you?

So basically, he or she is going to describe it for you, like read it out for you.

And that's how we envision our product, basically.

It's like an assistant, a virtual assistant that does this work for you.

Well, I was going to…
