Hey guys, I have my language and VoiceOver settings set to German. Sometimes I'm reading English content like Reddit or browse Safari and I switch to English from the rotor. However as soon as I touch a toolbar or status bar, or the screen changes like going back a page in Dystopia, VoiceOver constantly switches back to the default German and I have to manually revert to English.
I know it's a longshot, but is there a way to prevent VoiceOver from doing this?

Hi all,
What apps do you use to remind you that bills are due? There must be apps that you can add your electric, comcast and cellphone bills to, and they will send you a notification to let you know it's time to pay the bill. Any ideas would be appreciated.

from your experience
do you think that face ID is available and secured for totally blind users?
I believe that apple should keep touch ID available in all devices and its better for us.
could I [as a totally blind] setup Face_ID allone and able to use it effictively?
thanks

A few years ago, I got an app called Bird Song Identifier. It was fairly accessible and had a labeled button to record a bird song for identification. Now that it's Spring, I'd like to use it but the recording button seems to have disappeared. What do you all find to be the best, most accessible app for this task? Thanks. Lou

I have been reading the numerous posts regarding birding apps but wanted to get recommendations from other users. I thought that the Birding by Ear system was available as an app for iOS; but I couldn't find it. I have the Peterson Field Guide for Birds of North America, which contains the name of the birds and then their songs. That's what I had in mind for an app, nothing too difficult or with a lot of useless features to a totally blind person. I mainly would like to refresh my memory on all of the bird songs. I am using an iPhone 5 with the latest update.

I haven't used this app yet, been looking for a good Bluetooth mic (as per my post in the Hardware forum, no responses yet) to use on the iPhone with the app.
Has anyone used the BirdNet app? I do also want to catch (record) some local birds and share them with a sighted friend for fun. Is Voice Memos ideal for this? Or would another app be better suited for recording bird songs?

Birdweather PUC (Portable Universal Codec) is a bioacoustics platform for audio recordings of birds and environmental outdoor conditions. Information about it can be found at birdweather.com. It is integrated with a Birdweather iOS app. PUC can be connected to wifi, or the recordings can be saved on an SD card for downloading. It uses AI to recognize bird calls, similar to Merlin. Has anyone had experience using the Birdweather iOS app and is it Voiceover accessible? Thanks for any comments.

I need an app (other than the native Calendar app) where I can add several birthdays. Extra benefits if there's a countdown but not fully necessary. More just need an app for several birthdays.

Hey all!
I think Facebook moved birthday again. At least I think they moved the today's birthdays again at least. I can see upcoming birthdays when I go to the hosting tab in the events section, but today's birthdays are nowhere to be seen.
And I know I have birthdays today because I went looking for today's birthdays for yesterday & thaj was when I discovered that today's birthdays were moved, but I seen I had birthdays for today in my upcoming birthdays. Sorry if that makes no sense.

I consider myself quite an advanced iOS user and have always been extremely sceptical of the stories of smart speakers randomly playing music during the night without any prompting or sound going on in the house for example, but last night my phone did something that has completely baffled me.

Iām having an odd issue when copying and pasting in iOS using voice-over.
The issue is that when I select some text to be copied, and then choose the copy function from the action rotor, voice-over will read out previous text that I have copied in the past, however when I then paste it, it reverts back to the current text.
Iām just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

With apologies for reposting the below, which I initially appended to a thread about IOS 17.2.1 but I am not sure it registered that prominently. Anyhow, here goes:

Siri is great if you are sighted - but setting up Siri so it can recognize a blind user has been difficult - asking the blind person to say the phrases, just gets siri to recognize the helpers' voice - If anyone has any ideas on how best to mute siri duing the process for getting something like this done- please let me know - there is a blind person wanting very much to use his phone for calling out - its been set for auto answer and speaker for an incoming call

Hello everyone. Happy new year. I was just wondering, are there any good GPS apps specificly for walking to a destination? say for example, a friend's house is within walking distance of my house. Is there an app that could tell me how to get there. If at all possible, I need one that you don't have to pay for or create an account for.

Hey friends, I have long held a deep seated jealousy for sighted musicians who can read their lyrics off a lyric sheet or an IPad. So I decided to do something about it.
I came home from a songwriting retreat the other day really wishing I could have performed a new song I was working on for the other participants, but I couldn't memorize the lyrics that quickly and play my guitar. This wasn't the first time, but this time I realized I could probably do something about it, so I started working on Lyricue.

Hi everyone,
This request is addressed in particular to musicians,
I am a guitarist who over the years has used the common Logic and Reaper DAWs, but today I would like to have a more immediate system for recording a song without turning on and configuring a thousand parameters of the DAW every time, also because I don't use these software all the time. days I don't remember by heart all the key combinations for example for reaper, so when I get desperate to record a song, the difficulty of remembering everything makes me not want to record.

Hello, I am wondering if there are any guides or tutorials to help with blind people using the camera. I got the talking goggles app and also have vizwhiz and digiteyes and I find the problem is how do I know where to point the camera or how to position it or whether the lighting is any good. I listened to the podcast for talking goggles for example and it worked very well for the presenter but try it myself, not much luck. It is the same thing with AnonyMouse and digiteyes. I am not sure if there are any tips and tricks. I appreciate any help. Sorry it is so long winded.
