After a bit of use I've realized that when using iBooks with voiceover one cannot access any audio files attached to that ebook. Does anyone know of an app for .epub files that will play audio while voiceover stays on?

I have an iPhone XR running iOS 14.6 and am very frustrated trying to listen to Voice Mail messages. I'm hoping someone has some useful suggestions.
The biggest problem is that when I activate a voice mail mesasge it begins to play, but so quietly that I can't hear the mesage. I try and flick around for the "Speaker" button but can barely hear the feedback from VoiceOver.
Once I get the message to shut up so that I can hear what Voiceover is saying, I don't even see a "Speaker" button in the dialog.

there are some things I do not like about summer: the heat, the humidity, the bugs. Don’t get me started on bugs. This year, my house has been invaded by Nats. And, of course, when I am using my phone, they are attracted by the light. I keep having to swipe them out of my face. Disgusting! I do have a bug zapper, which is doing a good job, but I can’t wait for the late fall when hopefully all the bugs will be dead.

Hi,
Anyone know how I go about feeding the girl I adopted in little girl magic? Double tapping on food seems to do nothing. Am I missing something?

Okay, I just tried using Live caption on my iPhone SE2, and the NLS EReader made by Humanware. and I was stopped by the statement, "Unsupported language or region." Now I did check my general settings and my preferred language is English, and region is US, which would make sense, since that's where I live. However, that's the statement I get, when trying to run this thing. All the other choices seem to work just fine. So, not sure if it's a situation where the NLS EReader is not being supported or not.

I have read some news reports, that, as part of IOS 12, Apple will implement "Live Listen" for Airpod users, helping to amplify surrounding sound for those, who have some challenges with hearing but are not formally using hearing aids. Has anyone in the Applevis community come across this and, if so, can you please give your initial impressions of how useful this might be? According to the reports, which apparently include Mac Rumours, this feature was not mentioned at WWDC.

Hi all,
It's Joseph here. I just got an iPhone SE yesterday and was wonder how exactly you would use "live photos"? I know you can take a picture in the usual way, but then how do you add a recording of what you're taking a picture of to the live photo?

Dear all, after updating my iPhone 15 to iOS 18, I turned life recognition on and set this option to the rotor. Initially, it worked fine and I could either read a piece of text or hear descriptions of the surrounding, etc. Some time later, VoicoOver stopped announcing the results. I have all options on regarding screen recognition and life recognition. Any suggestions how to fix the problem strongly appreciated. Warm greetings and thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably accessible live streaming apps that allow you to stream audio and/or video live over the Internet? I am also looking to be able to share this live streaming audio over Twitter and/or Facebook.
I am presently using TwitCasting Live, but, IMO, the audio on it is, quite frankly, pretty crappy. I'm looking for something with at least a little better audio than this.

Hi everyone,
My name is Mark Hill, and I’m the indie developer behind LiveTunes.
I recently reached out to AppleVis because I discovered that LiveTunes had been discussed here years ago, and I wanted to share a major update with the community. I was also happy to learn that LiveTunes is already listed in the AppleVis App Directory, which I really appreciate.

In earlier versions of iOS, I could use the "Load Earlier Messages" button to see older messages in a messages thread. This button no longer seems to be present in iOS 8.x. What is the new method for obtaining message histories?
I have an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1.1.

Hello,
Has anyone been able to figure out how to load earlier messages in iOS 8? In iOS 7, there used to be a button that said "load earlier messages," but this button is no longer present in iOS 8. VO just says "in progress" and I cannot find any of the older messages in my conversations.
Thanks!
Mike

I downoaded the ap location alarm and have absolutely no idea where to enter an address. Would the person who suggested the app please post how to do this? I'd love to recommend this app to others but need to know how to use it first. I only see in the add area map sattelite or hibrid and no particular place for address. Thanks.

I've asked siri to remind me of something when I get home each of the last 2 days and yet it hasn't worked.
I have myself as a contact in my contacts and my home address is in the card and it's labeled home, and under privacy settings I've gone in under location services to reminders and set that to when using app and precise location is on. What else do I need to do? I don't need to have the reminders app open do I? I thought using siri would bypass that.

My husband is both sighted and a map fiend. So whenever I am somewhere different, I use a little free app called "Here's My location" to report the data from Location services to him. It can email either someone from your address book or email a single "favorite" with a single button. (It can text that information too if you use an iPhone.)
This app is quite simple, because you open it and double-tap one button to send your location to your favorite recipient.
I ride paratransit, and we often stop to pick someone up.

Hi All,
Does anyone know if while on the lock screen in iOS 13 by swiping right it goes onto the status bar. Is this meant to happen? Also on a 2nd query since upgrading if a notification arrives a couple of seconds later if you haven't checked out the notification VO now announces the time. This happens everytime I get a new notification.

Hi there, I have been grumbling to myself and my wife for a long time about this and now I'm coming here to ask questions! When ever I receive a notification, email or text, my phone wakes up and either begins to read the subject or I scroll through the lock screen to find the info. But, it usually goes back to sleep too quickly for me to hear the subject of the email, or the content of the text! Is there any way to adjust this?
