Update On L6 Pro Robot Vacuum

Its been a few weeks since I posted about this robot vacuum. Since then
we have connected it to both our Amazon Echo & Google Assistant devices.
While doing that, it doesn't give you access to everything in the
vacuum's app, its handy to say Hey Google, turn on the vacuum or turn
off the vacuum. As you might expect, turning it on starts cleaning &
turning off stops cleaning & sends it back to the base.


I still haven't used the mopping feature. I've been so very impressed
with how well it does on our hard wood type floors & in our bedrooms
which are carpeted.

The android app isn't perfect but with some trial & error, it is usable.
The thing that helps me the most is to open the TalkBack menu when I get
to an icon and select describe image. There are buttons for dock, start,
pause, more etc.. with some practice you'll be changing the suction
level and managing your robot.

I've looked around on Amazon at some robot vacuums that are almost the
same. One thing I love about the L6 Pro is how well it does under our
bed. It easily fits under the bed. Our previous Roomba E5 got stuck
every time as it tried to go under the bed, but it was a bit too tall to
do so. It still tried on a regular basis, getting stuck every time.

The L6 Pro meets my needs and does a very good job cleaning our apartment.


 Now that we've used it a dozen times or so, we've got things picked up
& have a

robot friendly apartment.


One tip if you get this one, if it gets stuck & you can't find it, tell
your assistant to turn off the vacuum, usually it isn't stuck so bad
that it can't try to go home.

If you need a powerful & affordable robot vacuum, try it out. Amazon
usually has long return times, you'll know how long you have to return
it on the page. I am keeping ours & when we get a chance to try the
mopping function, I'll post again.

Accessible App List For Android

One day this week while listening to the wonderful Double Tap Podcast, I heard feedback from someone disappointed because they weren't successful in finding a good list of accessible Android apps, especially for use on their new Pixel 8 phone. Several years ago I used to post a list of accessible android apps that I was using but I no longer do that. There is a reason for that, accessible means different things to people. Just because something was accessible for me, that doesn't mean it was accessible for any other person. We are all different in the world of disabilities. Some people see nothing, some people have some vision. Some can access apps when color contrast is adjusted, or some may only need to use the magnifier. Some people may be able to use one feature on days when their vision is good, but maybe two days later things may be cloudy for them for a few days. So there is no way I can produce a list of accessible apps that will have any m...

WearOS4 1st Gen Pixel Watch Update

I'm getting the WearOS 4 update on my 1st gen Pixel Watch LTE. Wanted to share some tips for anyone else updating this watch who is blind or low vision. I've been asked to be very patient after the watch restarts. Don't go messing with the watch for about 30 minutes and let it do its thing. So once you check for updates and are told to put the watch on the charger, go find something else to do for awhile.

Raise To Answer

I am just sharing info on an app I use all the time on my phone. Currently that is a Pixel 6 Pro which is still working fine, running Android14. Raise To Answer This app will answer your phone when you lift it to your ear. Its just that simple. If you want, the app will end the call if you place your phone face down on a table. There are other options to explore in the app. I use this app to answer my phone, it works every time. I'm an old school user at times and still use the power button to end a call, you can find that in Accessibility settings. Here is a link to the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.hackerchick.raisetoanswer&hl=en_US&gl=US You can also search for Raise To Answer in your Play Store app. Raise To Answer Sylvia van Os 4.3 746 reviews 100K+Downloads Steve -- Visit my blog blindandroid.me Android, Windows, Blind, Technology, Cancer, Life
