Additionally, the "Self-Care" section of the app contains exercises to help users take a moment for themselves as they heal, such as a Mood Tracker, relaxing visuals, and calming meditation exercises. The "Learn" section includes helpful information on sexual violence topics, finding and giving support, and healing, as well as real-life stories of hope and healing from survivors. RAINN is the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the United States.

In this episode, Thomas Domville teaches you how to use Screen Recording on iOS and iPadOS.

Screen Recording is a feature that allows you to capture what's happening on your screen. This can be useful for creating tutorials, demos, or simply sharing something interesting with your friends and family.

To set up this feature, go to Settings > Control Center and double-tap the "Insert Screen Recording" button under the "more controls" heading. To create a recording, open Control Center by placing your finger on the top edge of the device until you hear a tone, and sliding it straight down until you hear the second tone (devices without a Home button) or placing your finger on the status bar and swiping up with three fingers (devices with a Home button). Double-tap the Screen Recording button; there will be a three-second countdown before recording starts.

To stop recording, either press the Side button to lock the device, double-tap the Screen Recording button in Control Center again, or double-tap the screen recording button in the status bar. By default, the recording will be saved to your Photos library, however this can be changed if you wish by focusing on the "Screen recording" button in Control Center and choosing the "open controls" rotor action.

And good afternoon AppleViz.

This is Ida and it is currently 2 o' 5 p.m.

Central Time and I am here with a podcast tutorial on VoStarter.

This app is an app that teaches voiceover for iOS users.

It does assume some basic knowledge of voiceover, I've noticed.

The first couple lessons start out pretty simple, but then it quickly jumps into more advanced things.

So I will be demonstrating a few of the lessons and making some comments as I go.

So here we go, open VoStarter.

Ok. Welcome to VoStarter for iOS.

After completion of these tutorials, you will have been introduced to nearly all of the concepts associated with using voiceover on your iOS device.

To get started, simply double tap the screen with one finger.

This will begin the first lesson.

Good luck on your journey.

Ok that is the introduction.

You can also, if you don't want voiceover to read it to you, you can swipe over to the continue, I mean the listen button, sorry.

Welcome to Arctic to Gifts.

Good luck toolbar.

Listen.

Button.

Yeah this toolbar has a menu button which is where you go to select a lesson if you've completed this tutorial or if you want to skip ahead a little bit and later in the tutorial there is also a continue button that appears on this menu.

But for now, if we double tap on listen.

Good luck on your journey.

Ok here's what I don't like about this though.

Even when you're on the listen button and it says simply double tap the screen with one finger, well if I do that now from the listen button, it's not going to continue.

But not there.

This will begin the first lesson.

Good luck on your journey.

So what you have to do is swipe back to the left.

Now there's a lesson later in this tutorial on flicking which is also swiping but I'm sure most of you AppleVis users already know about swiping and double tapping.

So we're going to flick back to the left.

Good luck on your journey.

Ok. Now, one thing I want to let you know is that because the continue button…

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to connect to a Windows computer using the Files app on iOS and iPadOS, in order to transfer files over your local network.

To do this, you'll first need to make sure file and printer sharing is enabled on your computer by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Advanced sharing settings, and making sure "File and printer sharing" is on for your current connection type, either public or private. 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.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville , also known as AnonyMouse.

Now this podcast is going to be for my advanced users out there.

Now I've been in this position for quite a while and I have been thinking about how could I streamline this process.

So are you one of those people that tend to transfer files a lot back and forth from your iPhone or your iOS device to your computer?

If you are, raise your hand.

This might be something for you to think about.

Yes, you do have the option to kind of transfer from your phone to your computer by using a third party service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or maybe Microsoft OneDrive.

But the problem with that, it can be slow, right?

Or I just don't want to store it up in those surfaces for whatever reason that is.

In my case, I tend to have some very large files and can take some time, especially if you have a slow internet access.

So in other words, anytime I need to transfer something, so I'm essentially sending it up through the internet, through the cloud, store it up there.

So it takes that time to do it and then go on my phone, go through Microsoft OneDrive and go to the drive and pull it back down.

And it's kind of tedious.

I wish it would be more…

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast, I'll be demonstrating a game.

Now, I'm sure we've read Little Red Riding Hood, the book, right?

You know, where the big bad wolf eats grandma and, you know, all that.

Now, this game comes.

It's an audio game, so it comes with a twist.

So basically, you can pick your own path.

Basically, like, you know, let's say, you know, what happened?

What would happen if the wolf didn't eat grandma, for example, or whatnot?

So you've got that choice.

It's that's what's called twisted tails.

So.

Yeah, without further ado, it's developed by the way, it's developed by a company called Sona in New Zealand and in collaboration with the Blind Foundation of Australia, Blind Foundation, Blind Foundation of New Zealand.

So without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Now, I will say this.

You have to use in order to use the app, you have to use direct touch.

Also, some parts, like when you're scrolling through the screen, voiceover does seem to cut off like it, you know, does seem to cut words.

So if you do notice that, you know, yes, it's it's probably a app bug.

But, yeah, without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.

Speech setting, wallet, prime video, red writing hood.

So I've got red writing hood here.

So I will double tap on double tap to open the app.

Red writing hood, direct touch area foundation, use the rotor to enable direct touch for this app.

So now interactive, twisted tails, red writing hood.

So that's kind of the opening thing.

Button double tap to select.

So we will go through the screen just to kind of give you a bit of an idea.

So this is the what all the what elements are…

In this episode, Thomas Domville discusses the workings of the Emergency SOS feature on iOS. This feature is designed to be a swift and straightforward method for summoning assistance and notifying emergency contacts. Upon activation, it dials the nearest emergency service and transmits your whereabouts. For iPhone 14 models and newer, it’s capable of establishing a connection with satellite services in the absence of cellular or Wi-Fi signals. Following an emergency call, your device will automatically send a message to your designated emergency contacts providing them with your location, and will continue to update them should you move.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.

And this feature I'm going to be covering is something that I hope you will never have to use ever.

However, it is also one of those features that you should know about, know how to use it, and get prepared for it if you ever have to do that.

This feature is called the Emergency SOS.

Now, for those that have been using for iOS for some time, you might be surprised how things have changed within that settings for Emergency SOS.

So this is probably a good time for you to go back and look into it and make sure all the settings are set the way you want it when you need it.

So let's dive into Emergency SOS, show you what the feature looks like, see what kind of setups you can, and settings that you can tweak, and then on top of that, knowing how to use it.

There's quite a few things in here, so let's go ahead and dive into the Settings app here.

Settings, double tap to open.

So we're gonna do just that, one finger, double tap to open up Settings.

Settings, back, Settings, back button.

And now the focus is going to be at the top left-hand corner where you have your back button that takes you back to the settings.

Let me go right here a few times, and we'll get to our first little item that you are able to initiate Emergency SOS manually.

So there are two options to do this manually, and then I'll show you a couple of other options that can be done by automatic and when those would occur.

So as I swipe to the right.

Emergency SOS, heading.

For more than nine months, Twitter and Facebook have tried to dodge the intense public scrutiny involved with the investigation into Russian interference in last year's presidential election.
