As recently as 18 months ago or so, I had my ancient Airplay Express operating as an airplay destination without a hitch. Apple had updated it with Airplay 2. But when I went to reconnect it after a long hiatus and put it on a new router, I couldn't get it to connect to HomeKit, though I was able to do my other third-party speakers that likewise lack homekit codes. Worse still, when I airplayed to it, it grabbed VO's speech. When I managed to get audio destination back to default, the VO volume kept spiking up and down with each swipe. Tried this a few times.

Hello everyone today I’m going to be reviewing the iPhone 6s Plus.
The iPhone 6s Plus was released on September 9, 2015 Apple hey Siri event in Cupertino in the United States of America?
This event introduced devices like the new Apple TV,, the new iPad Pro, as far as I know the fourth generation, iPad mini, and this phone that we’re talking about small army person the iPhone 6s
Maybe I’m missing out on more, but it also includes macOS 10.11, iOS 9, tvOS nine and watch os.
But the day we are here to talk about one product only.
The iPhone 6s Plus

I am looking for a rowing machine that I can control using an app on my iPhone.
A friend suggested the Hydrow rowing machine and I installed the app. However, although I could see all elements with Voiceover, I couldn't find a way of controlling the rower through the app or even connecting the app to the rowing machine.
I am wondering if there are other alternatives that people might suggest for a rowing machine that can be used by someone who is blind, possibly controlled via an iPhone or Apple Watch app.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Firmware with Apple seems to be like playing Russian Roulette with your product. From all the posts I read, some have ruined noise cancelation, some have made it better. Apple gives no guidance in this area because you can't refuse the updates, and they won't tell you what's in them. If I hadn't gotten a YouTube notification that the Airpods Pro and 2nd gen had just been updated, I would not have known. Since this latest update I have noticed a definite change in the sound while on phone calls and FaceTime Audio.

Hey all,
I'm currently looking for a scanner that would work nicely with Mavericks and Prizmo. I've already tried my luck with a Plustek MobileOffice scanner, but this turned out to be a great mess unfortunately... I made sure to check for Mac compatibility before purchasing, and the website did state that OS X was supported... However, when I received the device, I couldn't find any OS X drivers on the CD, and my Mac would not recognise the scanner without any kind of software.

Hey all,
Yes, I know this topic has been written about a lot, but I still haven't found the answers I am looking for. I have never had a scanner, and don't find any of the Iphone OCR apps work to my liking. I am looking to get a scanner specifically to read my mail to me. I am using an iMac, and there seem to be a billion scanners out there. Would love some advice and suggestions on what I should focus on when buying one, as the prices seem to vary from $50 all the way up to the 100's.
1. Is connecting through your home network or bluetooth better?

This accessory could really help the blind with OCR Apps.

Hello all,
I just purchased KNFB Reder this week due to it being on sale. What scanning stand would be good to use with the 6+?

Just got my SE3, and it is working incredibly well. I already have iOS 18 public beta installed, and wow, I've never been able to text as fast as I can now, between BSI turning on automatically and also just seeming to be more accurate. But, one thing I'm trying to figure out is, does part of this come down to there being a screen protector on my old iPhone 8, and not having one on the SE? Is it just because the SE is a better phone, or can a screen protector really make that much of a difference? Or is BSI in iOS 18 just that much more stable?

Hi all,
I'm considering making the jump from my SE to the XR, but am wondering what the benefits are from a VoiceOver perspective. I don't want to drop $1k (less with my Apple store gift card and trade in) on the XS, even though some say the OLED screen helps when you have screen curtain on.

With the great help of AppleVis, I have learned how to use VoiceOver on my iPhone 6. Now I've bought a Mac Mini, and plan to use VO there as well. I'm looking for guidance re: buying a compatible keyboard for the Mini. Wireless would be great if I could also use it with my phone. However, I'm willing also to learn VO on the Mini with a wired keyboard as well. My entire computer history has been with PCs so becoming acquainted with the Mac OS will present learning challenges.
Any keyboard recommendations or advice is welcome - Dave

So there are millions of them out there. I've had several, and all of them eventually died. I'm shopping for a new one, and here's what I'd like to find --
* Runs on a removable battery.
* Very light.
* Stays on my ear even when I bend down to unharness the dog, or pick up something off the floor.
* Does not have a hundred tiny buttons!
* 'Doesn't need a proprietary charger.

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a tripod that can be used for your iPhone 6 or your iPhone 6 Plus. I am looking for one myself, I was wondering if you had any recommendations. I am using my iPhone with an OtterBox case. I am keeping this in mind, as I look for a tripod. Do you think that you would have to take the iPhone out of it's case before using a tripod?
All the Best,
Shaun

I live in the UK and am a singer who regularly sings while using either guitar or piano. A lot of the time I remember words but there are occasions where I would like to have the words in an earpiece as I sing.
As my hands are being used playing guitar or piano I need to get a foot controlled device that will control voice over on my iphone to go through the words line by line to my ear piece.
Does anyone on the forum know of a device that would do this?

Hi,
I'm actually seeking recommendations for this headset for my aunt, I'm her go-to tech person. Anyway, all of my headsets are either expensive, heavy, and bluetooth, or a combination thereof. So what she wants is a simple, no-frills pair of around-ear, or on-ear wired headphones that she can use to watch her movies on her computer. She's a PC user, who isn't very techy, so I can't in good concience recommend a bluetooth model.
Do they even make wired headsets that are around or over the ear and lightweight anymore?

Hello.
Hope all’s well.
I’m hopeing someone can give me some advice on Bluetooth headsets please? Here’s some context….
I have an iPhone and an iPad, and use Voiceover on both devices. I currently use the Plantronics M55 bluetooth headset with my iPhone, and a standard wired headphones with the iPad.
I’m looking for a Bluetooth headset with A2DP, that can pair with both devices, and switch between them, without going into the Ipad/iPhone settings and switching the Bluetooth off when I don’t want to use one or the other.

I've just learned that I'll be making a presentation over the weekend which has to be delivered within a strict timeframe. As part of this, I'm hoping to be able to use my iPhone to trigger some audio and keep an eye on the clock figuratively speaking. Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to send audio and VoiceOver to separate outputs, perhaps audio going to the usual headphones out and VoiceOver being routed through a bluetooth ear piece or similar?
