Hi All!
I was referred to this amazing site by one of your members Justin (drummer0608)
I myself am not blind, but I have invented a product that blind iOS users like Justin are getting really excited about. He urged that I share here.

I have some thrilling news to share with all of you Aple tech enthusiasts and advocates for Apple's assistive technology. The ARx AI wearable talking camera, a state-of-the-art device designed to enhance real-world interactions for individuals with visual impairments, will soon be available for the Apple platform!

Hello. Has anyone ever heard of something called Invisible Phone Guard? If so, have you used it? How does it work for you? Also, I hear you have to wet the film and then put it on the phone. Does this ruin the phone? Thanks.

Hello everyone who cares about the MFi hearing aid topic:
I understand that iOS 13.1.1 which is a primarily security related software update has introduced significant issues for MFi hearing aids. In speaking with my audiologist she informs me that Starkey reports their Thrive app crashes on iOS 13.1.1, and connectivity to the aids for streaming is unstable. She also tells me some manufacturers, including Phonak, have lost connectivity altogether.

Hello, I have been trying to use my bluetooth keyboard with voice over and it works fine for typing and editing, but when I am trying to use the keyboard shortcuts many of them do not work. Is this a bug, like a major problem or have all of them changed? I have not seen a new keyboard shortcut list in directions and I have searched Apple and the web and accessibility websites for instructions but not have found any. Does anyone have experience with the bluetooth keyboard and voice over or can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

I encourntered this issue when I upgraded to iOS 9.2.
Whenever I have to restart voiceover, my bluetooth keyboard stops working. It would work every once in a while and stop as soon as I restart VO again.
The issue is only when voiceover is on. M Currently, when VO is turned on, the keyboard is on and only works while using navigation. WHen I am in a text field, the letter keys do not work. I make sure quick nav is off while typing and this still occurs.
When I turn off voiceover, I can type in the text field and when I turn on VO all the text shows up.

I own an iPhone Six plus and thus far, had no issues with the phone up until the latest iOS update. I applied the latest version of iOS last week and since then, I have noticed that my battery is draining more quickly. Previously, with normal use, I find the battery power to be around 40 percent by evening time. Now it is giving me the low battery warning badge around the same time. I do not have any explanations for this.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

hello, I am wondering if anyone has tried or knows of a good stand-like tripod mount for an iPhone 4 or 4s, that lets you hold the camera still, horizontally so it could be used to take perfectly level stilled photos for things such as OCR applications
I wonder if this would help with better recognition results with apps like text detective.
what do you guys all think, please feel free to comment.

Hi,
I was just reading about wireless MIDI for IOS, especially the Yamaha md-bt01, which prompted this question. Does anyone have any recommendations for either wireless or other MIDI or audio connections for IOS? I was considering getting the Yamaha Mobile Sequencer for my iPhone 5S, and using my Yamaha P95 digital piano to send notes into my phone.
I also have lots of questions about doing such things as storing music data on possibly iCloud, DropBox, or somewhere outside my phone to keep the internal memory free. I'm unsure what o ask, however.
Thanks.

I'm finding some flaky behaviour with my keyboard and IOS 10. So far I've had the functions keys on the top row stop working including my inability to navigate back to my home screen, issues when typing in text fields in twitter ranging from no key presses being repeated to simply hearing the word period despite the text being input . The control and left and right arrow commands do not appear to work in text editing fields either. I"m on an iPhone 5SE. Has anyone else experience this erartic behaviour since upgrading?

Good evening all.
Well finally had chance to look at an iPad today at the group!
A member of staff has one, an iPad 4 3G model.
All I can say is wow! I like the bigger screen very much! I was able to tap around with two hands, something I can't do with an iPhone.
She is not a VoiceOver user so couldn't really get to play with it. But least I now have an idea and can see myself using one in the future.
Just got to look at an iPad mini now for comparison.
Kind regards
Chris.

Hi I'm a new account here but have been reading everything on here for years, I have a question and I'm not sure where to post it but I'm trying to talk my mum into helping me buy the 9.7-inch 32GB 2018 iPad (came out March 2018) for Christmas and I wonder if it's worth buying, I do have vision (I'm legally blind) and am learning braille so it would need to work with my Edge 40 braille display.

Just about to buy an IPad Air 2 for my son with the largest memory. Any reviews welcomed please.
My sons totally blind & is used to Apple products as he has an IPhone 6 plus.
Presuming this will be just as accessible as his phone?
Any reviews, information and tips greatly appreciated
Thanks

Allow me to start this post by offering him apology. I meant to get this information online sooner, I just ran out of time. I have been wanting an iPad for quite some time now, I was just suffering from sticker shock. Apple does provide a great product, but it is pricey. Earlier this week, I received a coupon via email offering an additional 10% savings on all qualifying products at Best Buy. It was applicable to open box and clearance items and did not expressly exclude tablets. I quickly located an iPad air 32 gig in store open box item at a nearby Best Buy.

Hi. I'm cconsidering purchasing the iPad Air 2! After the screen on my iPad Air shattered quite easily! I am wondering if it's worth investing in the latest iPad as I need a screen which is more solid than the one that is on the iPad Air. If both screens are the same then I may purchase the iPad 4 which seems to be quite durible and I was happy with that model when I had it before passing it on to my son. I hope someone can answer my query on here.

I have had an iPhone 4s for a few months and am considering purchasing an iPad. Would it be better to get the iPad mini or the iPad fourth generation? are the iPad and iPhone pretty much the same device? Is there anything you can do with an iPad that you can't do with an iPhone? What device would be the best to use with a Braille display for taking notes during a meeting or at church? Thank you.

Hi, all!
I recently got an iPad pro for black friday, and I'm trying to figure out the differences in usage between voice over for iPhone and for the iPad. I got the smart keyboard accessory which makes the iPad a joy to use since it folds to the same size as the iPad and doesn't add any extra length or width to it. But, there are things I might still be missing, like how to use split windows etc. Does anyone have any tips for this transition?
Thanks!
