asking apple to do the same thing they do with screen sharing from mac to mac now and port it to ios, basically asking them to create a zone where all the keyboard commands are sent to iphone voiceover and the speech sent back just with the other media... TLDR they already have the infrastructure built for mac-mac control and now they need to fix the less than decent work we are getting with IM since sequoia and 18 as blind users who would benefit greatly of IM. In a polite way of course.
I also told them that nobody would ever want to correct a specific ui element mismatch or out of order announcement of mac voiceover getting infos from iphone for example, too specific and over complex.
