Blue Tooth Keyboards with Pages
I just got this app not too long ago, and it really works great. My only problem is that every time I type using my blue tooth keyboard, VoiceOver reads everything I've typed, and it starts back at the beginning of the document every I type a character. VoiceOver does this even though I've selected "Nothing" in Settings. I have noticed that whenever I use the onscreen keyboard, VoiceOver acts as it should. Does anyone have any solutions, besides turning VoiceOver off? I've had to do that whenever I use this keyboard in Pages becaaause VoiceOver's constant chatter is distracting.
Why not jut mute speach wiht
Why not jut mute speach wiht a 3 finger double tap or vo s?
Take care.
Brilliant!!!
Thank you for your excellent suggestion. I am learning to value the AppleVis community very highly.
Thanks again. Debbie
Turn off quick nav
Another option is to turn off quick nav by pressing left and right arrows at the same time. I do this all of the time when typing in text fields such as websites, pages on the Mac, email, and Keynote. It makes editing easier to deal with, and makes the look and feel similar to JAWS for Windows.
Thanks. I try and learn all
Thanks. I try and learn all blue tooth shortcuts and teach and train people how to do things with miniul effort after they learn the longer way. Sorryabout typos.I was getting ready to go on along plain trip.
Take care.
pages and ios8
Pages now has dropbox support with ios8. You can share files too and from dropbox in both the pages and dropbox apps.
The app also seems significantly easier to use than before.
I hadn't tested it out in quite a while, but I remember it being somewhat of a mess.
Though I can't remember exactly what all was wrong with it before, I do know that, at least to me, it seems a lot easier to use now.
This app might be worth some reexamination now that ios 8 is here.
Dislike that incorrect spelling of words is ot announced
One thing I have noticed is that a word that may be spelled incorrectly is not marked as incorrect. Auto correct works fine, but that does not apply when using a Bluetooth keyboard.
For example, when going through a document and listening to the words written, nothing is marked as misspelled. Auto correct does not catch everything as well. Also, as I said, from my experience, using a Bluetooth keyboard, the auto correct feature is nullified anyway.
Just in case, I am referring to the ios version of Pages
Contact apple accessibility
Contact apple accessibility about this. Maybe see what they say?
autocorrect
Yeah, I've noticed that too.
Wonder if there's any kind of workaround for it?

Version 2.5.4
Pages version 2.5.4 is now available, and it includes an accessibility fix for VoiceOver users:
Pages does not track on my Ipad
I need to zoom so I can see what I am typing. So when enlargement is on, Pages does not track on the cursor so I quickly can no longer see what is being typed. I have an Ipad pro but I tested other kinds of ipads in an Apple store and the tracking did not work on them either. I hope that Apple addresses this issue soon. Does anyone know a way around this? - Thanks (I am using version 2.6.2)
Headings
Is VO now able to announce headings and other formattings in written text?
Beginner question and observations
I just started using Pages and have a question. For background, my main word processor has been Word. Over all, I like what I've found in Pages. It has an simple interface when first opened and when editing a document. A few things are hard to find, but I do like how many things are tucked away in expandable menus. This appears to be the processor I've been after. Also, I would mainly be importing Word files from the Cloud. I want to create documents too, but I haven't created files much, since I mainly use my' phone.
Is there a "Save As" item where I can choose the file format I want? This would be very useful so I can save documents I create in Word, instead of exporting them to Word every time.
For those wondering, Pages is now a free app and comes on many devices out of the box. I mention this because this app entry lists it as a paid app. I suppose if you don't have it on your device you could buy it. But, for several years now, Pages comes with many other Apple apps preinstalled on the device.
I thought Iwork appls were…
I thought Iwork appls were always free? Anyway. For your question on the mac no you can only save/save as .pages and you have to export --> word each time.
Using iPhone and another getting started question
For what it's worth, I'm using Pages on an iPhone, not the Mac. If there is a Save As feature in the iOS app, that would be good: I fear that I will have to export to a Word format each time.
Another beginner question: I have noticed that I'm unable to read by line with the VO rotor, at least beyond the paragraph I'm in. I do like how I can swipe between paragraphs. I'm used to moving by line where focus is smooth throughout the file or email. This deal of swiping between paragraphs is taking some adjustment when one has be, reading by line up until now. Any ideas? Thanks as always.
Perhaps a Known Bug with Navigating by Line
I don't have personal experience with this, but in recent posts here some have been discussing an issue with navigating text areas by Line. It sounds like there may be a fix for this issue in iOS 18.2 Beta, so I would try this again once iOS 18.2 is released in December.
