Hi all, this is about to drive me crazy. I have a boxwave bluetooth keyboard connected to my phone. Every now and then it will double my letters. For example if I type the letter B, it will type it twice then I have to go back and delete it. It seems to be getting worse. It didn't used to do that this much. What the heck is going on? I am about to kill it lol. Is it a bug? I want to squash it. Ok time for sleep haha. Thanks.

Hi. I have found a bug that I don't know that I've seen reported. When I'm entering information in contacts with a Bluetooth keyboard, the eighth digit is reported to be the same as the fourth digit. For example, in the phone number 503-555-1212 the fourth digit is 5 and though the eighth digit is 2, VoiceOver will report it is 5. The information is correcty displayed on the screen, but not reported correctly. Apparently, this also happens when you enter info with the onscreen keyboard.

I am having a strange problem with all of my Bluetooth keyboards and moving apps. When I do the command that puts the screen in edit mode, the app I am trying to move isn't On any of my pages of apps. When I press the home button on my Bluetooth keyboard, the app I was trying to move comes back on to the correct screen. When I double tap and hold on the screen I can move apps as usual. Please can you help me with this annoying problem.

Good evening. I have the Mac app type2phone that I sometimes use with my iPhone. I mostly use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. The quick nav keys no longer work on my Logitech keyboard. I can no longer double tap using the up and down arrows. Is there anything I need to do, or should I not use the type2phone app?

Has anybody else come in contact with the bug of a bluetooth keyboard not typing at all. I know that's a bug when VO doesn't say anything but text is appearing but I'm talking when nothing happens at all. I can still navigate with my keyboard but sometimes it doesn't type.

Hi,
I'm trying to declutter and use my phone as a work device with a bluetooth keyboard. What I've found, however, is using both my Logitech Keys MX for Mac and Satechi Slim bluetooth keyboard, results in letters or key presses being dropped. it does seem to be that the spacebar is the biggest culprit resulting in exceedingly long and confusing words.
I've tested both keyboards on my mac and don't have the same issue.

Does anyone know of a small bluetooth keypad, with minimal keys, that works like the physical push-buttons phones do, that I can suggest for a friend who is older who has an iPhone, but prefers an easy-to-use phone-like interface?

Hello,
I recently purchased Aftershocks earbuds and tried to pair them with my IPhone7 running IOS 13.6.1. It wouldn't come up on the list of discoverable devices. I turned bluetooth off then back on, I unpaired an apple watch for good measure, I even tested with my mom's own earbuds, different model, and still even hers did not come up on the list of discoverable devices.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so are there any workarounds?

Hi all,
I apologise if this topic has already been covered in the forum threads. I have a 6S, I use voiceover, and I am running IOS 9.2.1. I'll list the issues I am having below, and would be keen to hear from anyone with any constructive suggestions. Note also that the issues are still occurring after multiple resets, and exchanging my 6s for another at the apple store.

Hi,
I am using an Iphone 6. I am currently using a Bluetooth earpiece and I'm also looking for a Bluetooth remote and a Bluetooth GPS receiver to use primarily with Blind Square when I'm out and about.
I would like a Bluetooth remote to be able to use blind square though it would be handy if it had arrow keys and a home button to allow me to navigate around my phone when out and about without having to pull my phone out of my pocket.

Hi,
After connecting my iPhone 5S to my Windows 7 computer, and using Siri, the signal sounds choppy, and VoiceOver sounds higher in pitch. So far, I have been able to correct this by going into Settings > Bluetooth, turning Bluetooth off, turning it back on, and reconnecting the computer by tapping twice in the My Devices list. Does anyone know what may be causeing this, and if there is an easier way to correct this problem?

Hello all. The Bank of America app was updated and you can now send and receive money using yoru email address or mobile number. It's also supposed to let you pay bills with your outside accounts, provided they are already set up, but I haven't seen this yet. Still wonderfully accessible. now if only their shopping mall site were... I know beating a dead horse it's just frustrating that I can't explain to anyone either on here, or the customer service people, not that I expect them to understand, why I can't shop there. Ok rant over.

I'm wanting to find a good app on the iphone to use to read books, but I really don't want to have to use VO to read with. Does anyone know of any apps that are accessible with VO and will read books allowed? Thanks.

As much as i wish it were otherwise, we live in a world where taking pictures, sending them, etc. is the norm. it's the way our sighted piers, family and colleagues communicate these days.
to that end, is there a book that teaches blind people how to use the camera on their iPhone to get the consistent shots we need, even if we cannot see what's going on?

Hi everyone! Any recommendations on a universal accessible book-reading app, or one specifically designed for iPad? I've tried Blio, but can't get it to read PDF documents imported from iTunes. After importing, the app closes automatically, and when I reopen the app, it closes again. I have deleted and reinstalled the app without any luck. Thanks for any info!

So I'm looking at options to move away from a victor reader to just iOS apps. I'm looking at Bookshare reader, Voice Dream Reader, and Dolphin EasyReader. What's the best one of those? Ideally I'd also like something that can play audio books from a folder of files continuously as well, so say something downloaded that's a bunch of MP3 files or whatever.

Hi
I have the Voice Dream Reader, Dolphin EasyReader, and Speech Central. Which app is the best in bookmarking while reading? I found that Voice Dream Reader bookmarks the whole paragraph while I want to bookmark only a word in the paragraph. The same applies to Speech Central. Any suggestion for better bookmark handling?
Thanks.
