Apple Releases First Public Previews of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra

I'll be testing the new MacOS with Braille as a focus. Unfortunately both my iPad and iPhone are daily drivers at my job (some apps only accessible on them and not on PC or Mac), so I'll probably not be testing the iOS betas this time around.

iPad mini (1st generation) will no longer support iOS 10.

Just got the beta of OS 10.12 installed. I'm looking forward to reading what others find.

I heard 1 feature of iOS 10 was Bluetooth audio could be separated where you could send music or sound it to your speaker and voiceover could stay on your phone after installing this I cannot see how this is possible yet has anyone else find a way to make this happen?

Tried that there is audio destination like in ios9 but flicking down gives you the same result.

Also on iOs 10, Voiceover now speaks column and row numbers when navigating web tables. I checked the new verbosity option in Voiceover settings, but the only option there is to enable or disable Emoji suffix. Is there a way in the current beta to change this behavior?

Hello all,
I have the beta of iOS10 installed on my iPad mini2. I was messing around with moving apps using a bluetooth keyboard thinking it would be a bit easier than doing it by using my finger to slide it all over the place. I came across something very interesting. It is now possible to move apps using the actions rodar when in editing mode. Once you are in editing mode you can flick up or down on an app and one of the options is move app. Once you click on move app, you can move to any screen, move to an item and then flick up or down. You will get options like move before or after which ever app is selected. If you have a folder selected it will give you the option to add the app you are moving to the folder. This makes moving apps so much easier. Since this is my first iPad I am not sure if this feature has always been on iPads or if it is a new feature of iOS10. I tried doing this on my iPhone 6plus running iOS9.3.2 and it was not there.

that sounds a really cool new feature, now if only there was a way to move multiple apps at once, app moving has been annoying for years.

The only thing I found under audio was speech and sound channels that basically sends speech and VO sounds through the right, left or both channels. Remember that this is a work in progress. The audio routing may not be fully implemented quite yet. I found a reverse dot position option under braille screen input which makes me very happy.

You don't have to be in editing mode to move apps. Flick down tell you hear arranging apps then you are taken into editing mode. Now you select your destination for the app you want to meve.

I am testing out the beta on my iPod touch 6th generation, and really liking what I am seeing.
1. Finally, the whole vocalizer collection can be accessed in iOS 10. This means that we can finally use Tom on the iPhone, with out a jailbreak.
2. Braille screen input will now speak when in contracted braille mode.
3. Finally, a new method for moving apps and making folders. I really hated the old method. It looks like iOS 10 will be a great upgrade for accessibility.

Does Samantha still sound like she's smoked one too many?

Unfortunately, Samantha seems to be unchanged. That's not Apple's problem though. Nuance should either give that voice a major facelift or simply drop it from the product line.

hello all,
since the presents of new voices is discussed on this topic, I thought adding the presents of another one wouldn't violate the AppleVis guidelines and my NDA. if it does, please let me know. someone posted that the about the Vocalizer voices being available, so I'd like to let you all know, the Fred voice from the Mac, and is the voice when you install or upgrade the Mac, is now available in iOS 10. it seams with every major reliese of iOS 8, 9, etc, apple is adding one Mac voice. my hope is that they make the complete collection of Mac voices available in this, or the next beta.

I put iOS 10 on my old iPad Air, but I will keep iOS 9 on my current iPad Mini 4.

While in VoiceOver practice, I found a keyboard command I don't remember being there before. It may have been around for a while and I didn't know about it, ,or it might be new. I don't feel like re-pairing my keyboard with my iPad Mini to find out.

The command I found was Control-Option-Accent, which now does the same thing as pressing Escape. This is the same as the scrub gesture on the touch screen.

It makes sense, because I believe Apple's keyboard for the iPad Pro does not have an Escape key. I remember someone asking earlier how to access the Escape function on that keyboard, and I don't think anyone knew a solution.

For those of you running iOS 10 on an iPhone 5, do you get all the voices except Alex? Do you get everything except Fred, Alex and Victoria on that device? I don't have that device, but I'm just curious how Apple is treating the last 32 bit CPU. I put this on my iPhone 5S and it runs like a champ.

To my knowledge, the iPhone 5 has never been able to run Alex.

From now on, any app targeting IOS 10, or any app installed on an IOS 10 device must be built in 64BIT mode. If you don't, IOS 10 will warn you about unpredictable results.

Hi not in all languages, but VoiceOver does include blanguage switcher.
