Hello all, ok today I got to play with a family relation's iphone 4S updated to IOS7 and using the afore mentioned voice in the subject line did discovered that for me it definitely sounded muffled and I thought I detected the beginning of the word genral cut from the beginning. From just exploring the phone with this voice personally for me I got the impression that this voice has droped in what I would term as audio reduction quality. At least it feels like that.

I've noticed the following:
I can't see the post button when composing a new thread, replying to someone's post, or when in a direct message. This is with using voiceover as is or with screen recognition.
Also, the follow button is only visible on someone's profile when using screen recognition.
Anyone else having these issues or know of work arounds?
Posting on the web works as expected so I've isolated that these are Threads app issues itself.

I am an experienced VO user, but there are three things about texting that I just don't understand. The problem is that most of my friends are older and don't text, so when I do text someone I am out of practice.
If I compose a message, below the "To" field there is an "add contact" button. If I double-tap on it I'm in my contacts. But when I doubletap on one of them I get the regular contacts screen, and if I double-tap on the number of that contact, I'm now calling that person. How do I actually insert that contact in to my text?

I just noticed that the three finger swipe isn't working to go back to the previous page in Safari. I haven't seen this bug before today. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello, I only found out about this topic from the audio games newsletter this morning, and find no mention of it on this site so far. I’m posting in this forum because one out of three is a game, and the other two are practice and observation. Echovis has three apps that are new, among others they’ve got about magnification. Anyhow, Echovis streets is to help you know when to cross the street with just your ears. It's not clear how many levels, as I’ve not gone through it all yet.

Recently apps like ‘Be My Eyes’ and ‘Seeing AI’ have added the ability to generate image descriptions using multi-modal Large Language Models (which can understand and generate both text and images) like GPT4Vision. I’m sure everyone has tried them, but for anyone who hasn’t, here’s the description I got by sharing a Toot to Be My Eyes this morning:

Hi all,
Those of you who have seen my previous posts concerning ThumbJam are aware that I'm still farily new to the app. I was wondering if by any chance there are any podcasts out there that demonstrate how to use ThumbJam with Voiceover? I've read through the manual several times, however being the auditory learner that I am, it would help me imensely if I could hear how it's done, especially for things such as creating instruments and setting up midi controlers such as the iRig Keys. Perhaps it's just me, but there are some things that are not as straighttforward to me as they seem.

Hi,
Can those of you who own a copy of Thumbjam music app please confirm the following?
1. Start Thumbjam on your device with iOS6 installed.
2. Tap "Prefs" in the bottom right corner, then select "MIDI Control" from the pop-over menu.
3.

Hi all,
Having updated to the latest version of iOS 7.0.4, I have discovered that ThumbJam is no longer accessible with Voiceover. When I click on the Sound button, for example, the Voiceover focus moves automatically over to the play area. When I try to click on the button a second time, it automacally selects one of the options in the sound category. Have any of you noticed this, and have any of you been able to figure out a work around?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Siena.

A fair amount of us blind VoiceOver users are into high fidelity sound that music streaming services, like Tidal provide. Based on this video there are 5 things required for TIDAL MQA iOS Apple Setup.
The 2 things I'm curious to hear what others are using, recommend, and are best for blind VoiceOver user are:

A recent update to the Tidal music streaming application has rendered It useless for Voice Over users. Track names can no longer be read by VO. Tidal refuse to refund my subscription so I have contacted my bank for a refund. spotify music streaming works well with VO in comparison.

Tidal version 2.9.1 seems to have the same bug that appeared and was fixed last year. VO does not read track names in playlists, just says “button”. Anyone else having this problem?

Hey all!
I’m part of a team working on a navigation app called Tiera, built specifically for blind and visually impaired people.

I have a problem logging into my TikTok account, it keeps asking me to drag the slider to fit the puzzle piece, which I can’t do because I’m a blind user. It doesn’t really work with voiceover anymore. The app was not accessible originally anyway

Hello friends, how are you all?
I noticed something weird. On my iPhone 16 Pro, I can use TiK ToK normally, whether or not VoiceOver is enabled. However, on the iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 6s, I realised that TikTok only works well, that is, it only plays videos properly if VoiceOver has been disabled. It seems that the application crashes completely while VoiceOver is running, something I did not notice on the latest iPhone.
Then I wonder: why does this happen? Is this normal? I hope to hear your opinion soon.
Hugs,
Ricardo Brandão

Does anyone know of any tutorial podcasts/podcast episodes for Tile on iOS? If so, direct links would be best.

Hello. I'm having a problem with my iPod Touch 6th GEN. I reset it a while back and when I get a notification VO will read the time as 1:12 instead of 1:12 PM. The only way it reads properly if I clear out my notifications. My wife had this issue when she had her old iPhone 5 C. Have anyone of you had this issue after a reset or backup and restore? I've asked on FB etc. and nobody seems to have an answer to fix this. Thanks.

Hi,
This is something I've just noticed, and I wanted to share it here and see if anyone has picked up on this.
When working with multiple apple devices, I noticed, that when checking the time in the status bar, on the iPad and on the Mac, the time is the same. However, on the iPhone the time always seems to be one minute behind. I was thinking it could just be the version of the iPhone that could have that issue, but I checked it with other versions of the iPhone and got the same thing.

OK guys, this is a really weird one! Running iOS 10.2 on my iPhone 6 with the latest version of YouTube, nothing time-related seems to work when the app is open. First, say its 12:55 PM when I open the app and I spend five minutes in the app. The time display at the top of the screen should say 1 PM but it stays stuck on 12:55 until I navigate away from the app. Even worse, if there is an alarm set to go off while you have YouTube open, the alarm will not go off! I often fall asleep to a YouTube video so I learned this the hard way when I woke up late the other day.

Hello everyone,
I have downloaded Hokusai, and over all find it to be a great app. But, there is one area that is giving me fits. I need to be able to do a time stretch on certain tracks. However, there seems to be no real way to enter exact time desired in hours minutes and seconds. Only a slider, which is not letting me get the precise time I need. It’s really a mess. I’m just wondering if I am missing something here, or is my perception correct? Have any of you figured out a better way to go about this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
