Hello,
I was trying some gestures in the VoiceOver Help Mode (double-tap with four fingers).
And I discovered that VoiceOver announced an action I haven‘t heard before. It‘s announced when I swipe to the right with two fingers. It says something like: Skip to associated content. (I have my iPhone set to German and tried to translate it as best I could. It probably announces it differently in English though).
So far I haven‘t yet found a place where this gesture actually does anything.
Does anyone know where it is used?
If you text, tweet, Facebook, or use any other social network, chances are you've encountered, if not used, emojis. As many iOS users know, emojis are available by enabling this keyboard in Settings<General<Keyboard, and then toggling between your normal keyboard and the emoji keyboard in virtually any textfield. If you use emojis, you know that they are accessible with VoiceOver. What I am going to show you is not a work around for an accessibility issue, but a different way of entering emojis. We will do this by using the iOS feature shortcuts.
When looking in the Braille settings on my iPad the other day, I discovered a toggle that offers the ability to type Braille chords directly on a QWERTY keyboard, using the F, D, S, and J, K, L keys as dots 1–6 respectively.
Does anyone know more about how this works? I couldn’t seem to get it to work using my Magic Keyboard or an old Bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPhone.
Hello all, I have a question. I’m currently running 14.41 on my 10 R. Recently, when I go to do a Google search, I am not getting feedback when I’m typing something. So if I type a word in the box, it is not telling me that letters are appearing in the box. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. I hope this makes sense. It also does the same thing when I’m starting a brand new text message to someone.
Since the release of iOS 15, I've been having issues with typing. I used direct touch typing and had software keyboard set to speak words, but when I'd type and hit the space key, instead of the word, VoiceOver just said space. This is still an issue, even with iOS 15.2, and I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue and maybe there's some sort of workaround I don't know about. For now, I have switched to touch typing, which works fine, though it slows me down significantly when it comes to typing on my phone.
Hi all when i set in Verbosity, typing feedback to None for Braille screen Input in ios 18 the latest version, it is still reading words when i enter a space is this normal? it's driving me mad; sometimes it reads words, sometimes it won't when I press space.
For the past two days, when I go to send a text, or type anything, the phone is inputting the letter that is under my finger. Before this, I was able to double tap the letter so I knew what I was typing, but this has stopped working. I hope this explanation makes sense. If anyone can help, that would be fantastic!
Ok so this is weird, but I have been using an iPhone since 2013 and am still dissatisfied with my typing speed on iPhone, and with consistently performing the router gesture.
I use touch typing and only have word feedback, and have the werty keyboard memorized, but still feel like I hit the wrong key like a third of the time. Any tricks you guys have to type faster on the default keyboard or good third party keyboards? I know about Flicktype but nothing else. I also do dictation but hate it in public settings.
If I hold my ipad 2cm away from my nose and invert the colours I can see enough to figure out where the keys are and type. But this, along with any other attempts to read anything, worsens the already very irritating nystagmus and causes headaches. Which is the whole reason i am getting voiceover training. Currently im busy getting mac training, but soon will be starting ios training. You dont need to be a genius to use voiceover on ios, i can already navigate quite well.
Hello
After updating to IOS 13.2 and especially updated Whatsapp to V2.19.110 I discovered to my utter delight that my old Astrum 3.0 bluetooth keyboard types punctuation signs using the shift key correctly, like before. Pressing control plus the space bar to change keyboards from alphabet to emoji causes no issue.
I was using my Iphone today and the U.S female Siri stopped announcing and Samantha advanced took over. So I shut down my Iphone and turned it on again to no avail, it was still Samantha. So I went to VoiceOver voices and discovered the U.S female wasn't downloaded, that's weird, so I redownloaded the U.S female Siri and it works again. I also have advanced Tom downloaded on my phone as well as advanced Samantha. Has this happened to anyone else?
Can anyone help me and my wife use Uber? I swear the Annonimouse did a podcast on it, but I can't find it. Wife is having problems with seting up the location otions for a ride. She just created an account. My guess it doesn't work here. Thanks.
hi its Carlos,
I can't figure out the uber app.
I was able to creat an account but can't figure how to request a ride when I am signed in.
Also how can I advise the driver of my apartment number entry code and that I'm blind and need assistance.
if anyone knows of any pod casts or step by step tutorials,
or any help i'de appreciate it.
Thanks
Carlos
Hi, I have the latest version of IOS and the latest version of Uber. Recently, my app only tells me that the pickup location is my current location, which is of course not helpful because I can't see where the pin is. Is anyone else having this problem?
I was able to use siri to order a ride with 'Call Uber' this stopped working and I found I then had to say 'get Uber'
This has now stopped working, and siri appears to think about it for a while and then tells me that I have to continue through the app.
I tried with Get me an Uber home (and I have got home as a place within the app) and it still doesn't work
Does anyone know if there is a different phrase that I have to use?
Hi I haven't used the uber app in a while,
since I have read here that the options to contact the driver split payment cancel rides etc have not been accessible.
I use that function all the time when I use to request uber.
I have asked uber customer service if it has been fixed but I was told it was submitted to there app devepers for fixing.
I believe they don't know the answer.
I was using lyft but now I don't know about that.
Thanks
Carlos
