I opened youtube today to find, the name of the title of a viddeo, I flick right, I'm already used to the menu for the name of the title,, it annoys me but I'm used to it by now, I'll just flick right and... Go to channel button... Oh no...
This button shows up for every damn title, plus stupid shorts which you can't hide in the app as far as I know, they just want to make youtube as clunky as hell to use and I don't understand why at all.
I've been following the Fleksy app and testing it with VoiceOver when new releases come out.
After playing with the latest version in the app store, I think it is worth giving Fleksy another try. I know many people were discouraged when it was released as an OS-wide keyboard in iOS 8. Yes, the app wasn't very useable with VoiceOver in the first few versions. Some of the issues were with iOS itself and some with how Fleksy was implemented.
I think my phone has gone blind. It is an iPhone 15 Pro updated with the latest iOS version. Whenever it wakes up it looks for a face like it is supposed to. However, it will record an incorrect face every time it wakes up. I can have it face down next to me or across the room on a wireless charger, and apparently it gets upset that the top of the desk or the room ceiling is not the correct iteration of my face. One would think the phone would be able to recognize that there was no face visible and not count that as a failed face recognition attempt.
I decided to download all of my Conversations With God audio books and listen to them. Before I did, I tappped on the perchiced tab at the bottom of the screen to see what books I had perchiced. When I double tapped on the tab, there seemed to be nothing on the screen, by nothing, I mean no books, audio or print showed up. So I downloaded my audiobooks and double tapped on the perchiced tab again, the same thing happened. No books were there.
This doesn't make any sense to me as I know I perchiced the books as I had just downloaded them.
I donβt know if any of you have used the app, jacket.FM. But I hear that people are having trouble getting into it today. I have also been hearing that the developer plans to close it down and make a different app. I have heard someone say on a zello channel that people are having trouble getting into their accounts. And I am having the same issue. So I am beginning to wonder if itβs finally busted. Have any of you that use the app have the same issue?
I thought, when using Siri with an iPhone 15 Pro upwards, in my case, iPhone Air, but Siri had some new sounds, but when I hold down the side button, the sound seemed like they always were
The map manager is confusing the heck out of me!
I see the buttons labeled "Icon mapmanager slider" and "icon start download" next to each state. I double-tap on the state I want, in this case California, just in case. It now says "California, For downloading." I then double-tap on the button labeled "icon start download," and nothing seems to be happening, except that that California now says "California, 100.1 MB."
What on Earth do I do? How do I know if it's been downloaded to my device or not? I'm so confused! Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
I downloaded ABBYY Fine Scanner and choose to try the premium features. Can I scan a document and read it in the Fine Scanner app itself? It asks me to copy to email, KNFB Reader, Kendall, iBooks, drop box, drive, and so on. Can I simply scan something in the app and read it? After all of the copy to....options are used, I still can't figure out how to read what I scanned?
Hi,
Is there any way to get Siri to use the old Siri sounds when pressing the side button? That was such a trademark sound, and I have trouble hearing the new one. I miss it and I want it back.
Okay, I don't really want to be a TikTok star, I do want to record some content though. I'm an author (who isn't?), and I read a lot. I'm also interested in teaching creative writing, talking about story theory, structure, psychology of writers and readers, and a whole bunch of other things. I realise I could do a podcast, but why deny the world my handsome face...
Really, if I make the videos, I can go back the other way and make podcasts from the videos and, hopefully, capture a wider audience.
I want to try and learn swift when I have the time of corse. i"m wondering what I can do with it, what apps I could try and make starting out simple of corse. I have some ideas for my tffp podcast but yeah.
Is it possible for a blind person to learn and make use of all of the swift language, and how would you go about preparing a logo for your app as I know the app store for both iOS and mac needs one.
Last post. I went looking but there are a ton of posts about face ID. Here's my interesting question. I'd gotten this answer as someone needed help with it. I saw something in accessibility called face Id and attention. Clicking it, I found out there's a haptick to go if your phone successfully unlocks. Here's my curiosity. If the vibration switch is enabled, it does just vibrate, no unlock sound. If the switch isn't on, the sound plays and there is still a vibration as the phone successfully unlocks. so my weird half awake quary is this. What's the point?
I had a wonderful experience here asking for feedback about my last app (Foodlapse). I wrote another app called Please Don't Rain that I would love feedback on concerning my accessibility support.
When I had an upcoming day that was important to me I got sick of looking up the weather for it over and over again. With Please Don't Rain you can choose a place and a day and youβll get details about the weather for that day that will continue to update automatically if you have the Pro version.
I've heard about apps like lire and rss readers but I don't think that will work for me? Basicly I'm wanting to look for a search term, find articles about that and then get updates on those articles every, hour or so, I hope you understand what I mean.
Hello Forum readers,
A few days ago I purchased an iPad Air 1 after doing some online research. I am going through a tutorial called "Voice-Overeasy" but am having problems doing the flick gesture. My wife is sighted and low on patience with voiceover and the associated gestures and such. I do not have an iPhone but only this iPad which was purchased to aid my career as a freelance writer. What can I do or utilize that will help me learn the basics competently?
I do not have vision so am solely dependent on voiceover.
For context, I'm currently using an iPhone 14 Pro, and I think it's finally time for me to think about biting the bullet and upgrading. For starters, my 14 Pro currently sits at 73% maximum battery capacity. To add insult to injury, Apple just announced a whole bunch of AI upgrades that sound incredibly useful, and they've rebuilt Siri into a competent assistant... but I'm still locked out. In 2026, getting a generic "I found this on the web" response is a total letdown.
So, I have a question for you all. I'm curious. How do you all use VoiceOver activities? What tasks/situations do you use them for?
I've been debating looking into/using them. But, I don't really know what I'd be able to use them for?
Is it like shortcuts where the sky is the limit so to speak?
I am creating a budgeting app for IOS. What features would you like included? Specifically, what features of other budgeting apps do you find inaccessible or difficult to use?
