Hey all! I’ve got a question. Facebook just released a new version today. Is there anything that I should be aware of before updating it? Girlie I wouldn’t ask, but given how many things were broken in the last one or two updates that Facebook did, and I mean majorly broken, or features that were implemented that didn’t work well with voiceover, I just want to make sure that everything‘s A-OK before I hit the update button. Thank you all in advance! :-)

Hello!
Once again ladies and gentlemen, the Facebook birthdays have mysteriously disappeared... again. They are not in the friends tab any more. Can anyone tell me where they are hiding this time? I'm running the latest version of the Facebook app on my ipad. Along with the latest version of ipad-OS. Thank you in advance!
I looked in the events section also, and had no luck there either.

Hello all!
I've got a question about the Fb. app. I noticed in the last update it said that it introduced Facebook news. Well, I'm trying 2 find out about it from Google & getting nowhere. How do I access it? Is it built into my newsfeed, or is there a separate section for it? I even went 2 the Fb. menu tab, hit all shortcuts, & still no dice. How do I access it? And use it?

I know some people like this feature but I don't. You are on fb listening to a long post when you get a notification. The way fb works is when you get a notification voiceover interrupts what you are listening to and reads you that notification, then you have to listen all over again to the post you were listening to first. Fb needs to change this behavior. I will go to my notifications section to read my notifications thank you very much.
Is there a way I can stop vo from doing this?

I love all the shortcut actions offered with VoiceVista. The developers understood you would use it hands-free.
But when I use Seeing AI, Aira's Access AI or Be My Ai in Be My Eyes, I struggle to hold the object I want described, hold the phone and push the "quick capture" or "take picture" button. I really wish there was a shortcut for that.

Seems that voice over won't read the rating (i.e. 3 stars, 4 stars, 1.5 stars, etc.) in the App Store in IOS6. If this isn't a bug, then I would request that Apple be asked to add the capability for voice over to read the ratings numbers on each App. Voice over did this in IOS5.1.1. So hopefully it can be done again in IOS6.
Thanks for reviewing this information.
This is a great site & I tell everyone I know about it.
Thanks for what everyone does to help & contribute.

Even with IOS 14.4. when in today view; I am not able to get the list of my favourite contacts. I have to open the phone app. then tap the Favorites tab to get to them. This is very unproductive. Earlier I just had to swipe right with 3 fingers to bring up the todays view and use heading navigation to get to the list of Favorites.

The last two or three versions of the FedEx app appear to be completely broken and inaccessible. Essentially, when you open the app, you cannot click on any of the buttons except for maybe one and when you click that button everything goes away and you end up in the status bar and cannot do anything else with the app. It's completely unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any thoughts? have already tried deleting the app, logging out and logging back in. Running the latest version of iOS on an iPhone 16 Pro.

I am looking for feedback about the best and most accessible password manager to use on my Windows PC with JAWS and my iPhone 6S using VoiceOver. I was using KeyPass but can no longer get it to work and I would like something that's not too complicated. I just need a program that can generate strong passwords and can be opened with a master password. I've heard discussions on this list about One Password and LastPass and was just wondering which program users prefer? Thanks for any feedback you all can provide.

HI, I’d be interested in getting some feedback on an assistive-navigation idea I’m considering submitting for a student engineering co-design project at NUS.
The concept came from the way I currently learn unfamiliar routes with a sighted student assistant. During a route-learning session, they often give very specific information about turns, landmarks, entrances, tactile paving, awkward junctions, and other details that are difficult to capture in ordinary navigation apps. I could record the session, but afterwards that information is buried in a long audio recording.

Hi everyone,
I'm Bas, developer of the EMDR app, an app for visual, audio and haptic bilateral stimulation. It's been available since 2021 on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro.
We've just implemented VoiceOver in 19 languages, and I'd love feedback from this community on how well the app works with it. We care a lot about accessibility but I'm aware that our own testing can only go so far without a11y community input, so I'd appreciate real-world feedback from VoiceOver users.

Hello Everyone,
I sent to a feedback to the Be My Eyes team, asking them to create a shortcut which takes the screenshot and share with the app and describe only the VoiceOver focused area in the screenshot.
If anyone of you feel this feature is required, please use the below email template. To send the email.

Hi folks,
As we all know, the new features Apple’s intelligence has to offer are game-changing. However, we’ve encountered a few issues with the summarizing functions and the unavailability of writing tools in some apps when using VoiceOver. Here’s the feedback I’ve prepared—it's important to submit feedback about these issues as we encounter them. We’ve seen many examples where Apple has addressed our concerns through feedback, either via accessibility@apple.com or the Feedback Assistant app included in beta software.

As a kid I spent a lot of time at my grandparents' place. They had that grandfather clock you never see nowadays. When it struck twelve I knew it was lunchtime and my Grandma had almost certainly cooked something delicious. Later, when I started school, I was given a Casio with an hourly beep. Then I got my first Symbian smartphone and the very first app I installed was a cuckoo clock. Now I've written my own iPhone app that brings back those good times at my grandparents' and lets you know the time without having to look at the screen.

Hello: I am a trustee of the Visually Impaired Sailing Association (VISA) here in the United Kingdom. WE have just had a talking compass app developed to assist our sailors to steer to a heading and would welcome feedback from others on the app and to know if you find it helpful for sailing, other watersports, or anything else?

Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer of Psychology Engine: Life Coach, a self-reflection and breathing app for iPhone and Apple Watch. I'm building it on my own, and I wanted accessibility to be part of it from the start rather than something added later.

Hi all! I just did a beta release of some software I've been working on for a few months now. Accessibility is one of its primary goals, so I wanted to ask if people would be willing to use it and give feedback if they can. Any notes at all would be much appreciated. Important note: this is a demo site, and, due to how expensive Google Cloud text-to-speech is, I cannot afford to keep it running indefinitely. I am working on solving this problem, but for now, I plan on shutting down the beta in about a week.
