This morning, I tried to take a picture of a mockingbird performing at the top of a power pole in my backyard. I didn't have a tripod, and held the phone up near my face to aim. The zoom just wasn't powerful enough to get him, but VO certainly identified the power pole and lines, then the trees and walls and houses. Had a little difficulty holding the camera steady, and it gave me a fairly real-time description as I jostled the phone.

Hello everyone. I'm from China.
I have been using iPhone since 2012.
I really appreciate Apple's exquisite hardware and software products.
I am currently using an iPhone 14 with iOS 18.3.1.
As Apple's Chinese users, we had a terrible problem.
Since the iOS voice engine was upgraded to the Cerence version, all Chinese voices have no real high-definition optimized sound quality voice.
Hello again. One more quick question for IOS 26 users. I noticed that since the RC version of IOS, the large clock on the lock screen and notification screen either disappears or is a very small line of text when media is playing. This isn't the end of the world, but as a low vision user, I often watch videos or listen to audio, and pull down the notification screen to quickly look at the clock with its large numbers.
I just got my new 7th gen iPod touch yesterday. How do I, using a bluetooth keyboard, select text on the web, copy it to the clipboard in order to paste it into notes for reading as in speech notes, in public, off a braille display later on? I'll be using a qwerty keyboard for most of my work and sometimes a braille display keyboard. I'm sure it can be done, just not sure how since this is my second day with the latest iOS device. I know the alt key is option, and the windows key on my keyboard is the command key.
Greetings.
I am looking for an app to allow full remote control of an iOS device from another iOS device.
For example, I use an iPod Touch 6 as a music storage and playback device. I would like to be able to fully control that device from my iPhone 7.
Type a word in Notes app, select it and bring up the dictionary by selecting Lookup in the Edit roater option. The list of dictionaries and initial definitions can be read by Voiceover, but opening a particular dictionary is not giving anything except Back and Done buttons with an empty list. Is it a bug or is there something amiss? Did not notice this happening earlier before IOS 13!
New bug in Discord for iOS. When in a chat of any kind and typing text in the compose message text field, VoiceOver no longer announces what you are typing and cannot interact with the text to edit it. If you try and navigate by character or word VoiceOver will not see that there is any text entered. If you swipe on the screen to where the text field is it will appear empty to VoiceOver even if there is text entered. You can still type and send messages, but it is now difficult to impossible to correct typing errors in your messages.
I have an I Phone 7 plus still running IOS 12. In the last few days every time I touch the home screen the phone goes into edit mode and if I move my finger it changes the speaking rate of Voice Over. How do I stop this from happening? Thank you.
Hi all,
I was wondering which email app people use and like on iOS. I don't like the stock mail app because of sync issues with Gmail. I have used the Gmail app for a while, but I am having issues adding attachments to messages. It will allow me to choose from a list of recent attachments, but not from other folders (I.E. in a cloud storage account). Has anyone had experience with the Outlook app on iOS? Which other apps have worked well?
Thanks.
I'm sure there are entrepreneurial folks in this community who have used various apps for management of ideas, time, tasks and projects. I am currently taking a time management course where they suggested a huge variety of apps that we might "have a look" at.. Of course, this would doubtless send me on a wild goose chase through a fair number of inaccessible apps, which I don't have the time, or probably, even the real skill to do. So, here is a link to the place where our workshop presenter lists all of his favourite apps.
hello all,
I'm taichong from Philippines and I'm glad to here from you guys the answer to my question and here it is,
I have an app which is a free audio lesson on it and it takes 4 gigs in size, I want to copy that audio inside that app and save it to my computer or elsewhere,
my question is, is there an file manager on iPhone which I can browse my iPhone like the file explorer on PC? from that, I think, I can copy the content of that audio lesson then save it to my PC?
any suggestion are appreciated, thanks!
Hi Folks.
I just wondered whether the annoying focus bug of VoiceOver has been fixed in the mean time - e.g. in iOS 14.2.
I am a little confused since I couldn't find any information in the Applevis bug tracker.
Maybe someone could tell me whether I can safely upgrade my phone to iOS 14 now or if it's better to still wait.
Kind regards from Daniel.
Hi,
Can anyone offer any help with the following problem I am experiencing on my iPhone 12 pro when creating folders.
Hi all,
My girlfriend and I discussed playing games together when we can't physically see each other, since we are in a long distance relationship. Therefore, I was wondering, what games besides Zanagrams and Dice World would be interesting for her as the one who is sighted in the relationship? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Is there an app or a combination of apps I can use on my iPhone 5 with Voiceover that will allow me to record a route by dropping virtual breadcrumbs and also allow for recording with my voice any landmarks along the way.
Thanks!

Hi everyone. I have the latest iOS update on an iPhone 14 and my Journal app keeps crashing every time I try to type in it? Has anyone else had that problem and found a fix?
Is it just me or is the iOS keyboard not performing smoothly. As I am typing, the VO feedback of letters is not always complete. Sometimes I only hear part of the letter. I have to check to see what has been entered. Also, while sliding around the keyboard, I seem to here a lot of popping and crackling. I am running iOS 26.3.1 on a iPhone 17E. Your thoughts please.
