iPhone and iPad

Hello members.
Recently I have bought iPhone 17 pro and have set up manually without transferring any data.
While setting up I’ve noticed that rearranging the items in the utilities section is totally inaccessible with voiceover especially deleting the categories such as map album.
Has anyone reported this issue to apple and what is the temporary solution to rearrange and delete?
Thanks
P.s why did Apple remove all those abilities in the photos app such as removing the wallpaper suggestion entirely from the Photos app?

iPhone 16 pro max and iOS 26.5. Whenever I get a picture in my messages, and save them, in the app photos the pictures are save twice. This is an old thing. How do I change this or this is a bug? Thanks.

Hi,

I work as a health coach.
As part of my job, I’m supposed to post something every day on Facebook.
There’s a group I am a part of, that has albums, and in those albums, are ideas of what to post.
I believe most if not all of the pictures have text associated with them, however, voiceover will not read send text, until I actually save the picture to my phone.
Is there a way I can read the text, before I decide to save the picture?

A bit of an unusual one. I have photos on my iPhone, iPad and iPhoto on Mac all synced up. According to iPhoto there are 823 total photos, and the Photos app on the iPhone and iPad say the same. However, on the iPhone, when I go to Settings>General>About, it says I have 1024 photos. I can't figure out what or where these extra 201 photos are! Any thoughts?

I honestly think this is one of the best chatbots out there.

No it's not completely accessible but the british male voice on this thing, wow!

There's breatheing, intanation, fluidness, if it wasn't on an app and was tweeked a little bit, I'd swear it was a human.

What do you think, do you use Pi AI?

Hey everyone! How many of you use PiccyBot (an app that lets you recognize videos, photos and PDFs for the blind)? Well, I’m a totally blind blogger and I rely a lot on this app. I even considered buying a premium version at some point, but it’s been broken for over 2 weeks.now! It neither loads a video completely through the “share” menu in YouTube/Photos app (just shows me the “try again” button), nor does it select the video from the video photo roll.

Hi, all. When I choose a dropdown in Safari, the form activates at the bottom of the screen, but Voiceover doesn't access a picker. Is anyone else experiencing this? For instance, I started to post this message, and realized I couldn't use the popup to pick the forum for it to go to, so I started over by choosing the link for the app discussion forum, and the forum selection was populated. Thanks.

Is there a way to pick a document or language specific speech rate in voice dream for text documents? When I adjust it it adjusts for all documents. I read faster in English than I do in Japanese.

Howdy!
Since ios 14, I know I also received the picture-in-picture feature. Does anyone know how to use VoiceOver? Example I want to watch a video on YouTube, and be able to chat on WhatsApp. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has had experience using picture-in-picture on an iPad or iPad mini? I was hoping that I would be able to watch a video while working in other apps. However, this doesn't seem possible. If I bring up a video on the web, then switch to another app, I lose the sound of the video. I'm not sure if the picture is there or not because I am totally blind. Does picture-in-picture only show the video and not the sound? If this is the case, it is very disappointing. I hope I am just doing something wrong. Any responses would be appreciated.

We made a camera app, pikSpeak Camera, that allows users to take photos with audio tags.
Luckily, the app came across a visually impaired gentleman, Markus. He said that it was a great app for him as he liked taking photos but it was difficult for him to browse older photos as iOS tagged the photos by Date and time of the image captured which can be difficult to remember. But using pikSpeak Camera, he can easily navigate through the pics as a user can audio tag pics all by himself. Now, it helps him to share his pics as well as photos with sound using pikSpeak Camera :-)

A small pilot study is being conducted to determine if iDevices can assist blind and visually impaired users to become self-sufficient in the area of fashion. The study utilizes the iPhone application VizWiz where you can receive answers to visual questions by taking a photo, recording a question, and sending it to a bank of volunteers or Web workers. This project will utilize the same application but participants will use it just for clothing and fashion related questions.

Piper Neural TTS has released version 1.0.3 few days ago on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/piper-neural-tts/id6759636010 .

Previous version 1.0.2 was interesting, but had at least two bugs that would prevent it from being a daily driver:
- it reversed speed command directions
- apostrophes were not properly parsed.

People here have been complaining about the lack of so-called neural voices and updates to RHVoice. Don't remember who made the add-on and posted about it here, but I greatly appreciate his/her efforts and would like to ask him/her whether (s)he would be willing to (help) make the voices available on iOS.

I've just downloaded the new Piper TTS app onto my iPhone 17. I cannot find how to activate it within the settings. It doesn't appear anywhere in the list of available voices. Anyone got any idea how to make use of this app.

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe :) I have an iPhone 15 Pro running the latest version of iOS, I am running both Speech Central and Vox Libre apps. I am also running Piper TTS. I have downloaded some Piper Tts voices. But in both Speech Central and Vox Libre , it seems that I am unable to select these voices to be used by the apps. Is there any way that I can select my Piper TTS voices to be used in both Speech Central and Vox Libre?? Could I be doing something wrong or encountering some issue that I don't know about?

I noticed last night when using the Siri female voice voice number 4 that the pitch changes when you ask certain questions. For example it will change when you ask it if you have any messages the pitch will get lower and the Siri voice will become deeper. I have deleted my Siri and dictation history and I’ve also turned off Siri and turned it back on only to have the same issue happen again. I reported this to Apple Accessibility and they said they will send it up to the engineering in hopes that this issue gets resolved in a future update.
