I want voiceover to read more punctuation than it does by default, so I know when there are quotes and things, but I find the way it reads things when set to "all punctuation" virtually unlistenable. Firstly, it doesn't pause at the end of a sentence; it says "period" and then carries on in the same breath, as it were. Secondly, it does pause at commas, but doesn't say the word comma as you'd expect. Having a pause at the commas but no pause at the end of a sentence completely destroys the flow of the text.

As the person responsable for several iPhone-related blindness blogs and podcasts, I’d like to post reviews especially in English of apps or other iPHone functions that would benefit the blind, thus my iPhone’s in spanish, hence I’d need to set it up to use English as its system language. I’m aware that if you go into Settings/General/Region, you can change it, in my case, from spanish to English, but will it hurt anything (voices for instance and settings) if I do this switching back and forth often? Thanks for info.

I am totally blind, and I downloaded the paid version of the ThumbJam. I believe I am going to enjoy it very much, but I have somehow gotten it in the key of C-Sharp or D-Flat (depending on what you want to call it). I saw a small item in the Help section, but it referred to colors (a bummer for a totally-blind person). Most of my playing will be in D, G, A, C, and once in awhile E. I found the way to set the scale as the Major scale, and I do have the major scale - of D-Flat. So how can I reliably set the key I want without sight?

Can someone please give me some info, around changing up my IOS 16 Lock Screen with Voiceover? I gather that Thomas may be putting together some podcasts, around the new IOS 16 features, but just wondering if anyone has had any experience, experimenting with the Lock Screen feature yet? Many thanks.

Hi everyone. It seems to me that the volume in recorded memos is lower than before. Is there a way of changing the microphone settings in IOS 7?

I don't know if this is a bug in iOS 17 or by design, but here is the problem I've run into.
I was recently trying to control my iPhone remotely using Voice Control in a noisy environment - running on my treadmill.
So I put on my Airpods Pro 2 and set them to Noise Reduction mode. My phone was on the other side of the room.

If this question has previously been asked, I apologize. Is there any way to change sounds for a specific notification? Particularly, I would like to change the notification sound that is played when I receive a new tweet. I have been told this is not possible to do, so I wanted to try and find out for sure if anyone knows. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello all:
I know that we did not have a solution for this, but is this anyway or a trick that we can do?
I got tired from a notification sound that can be Twitter, threads, instagram, my camera app etc?
Is there a solution?

I'm changing my iPhone and also my phone number. Unfortunately I can't keep my old number to port across as its a work number that I'm not allowed to keep. Before I do the switch, I wanted to find out if there was a way of syncing my contacts, notes, reminders, apps and their content etc. from my old phone to my new one?

I am using the latest version of Overcast on an iPhone 6S with the latest update of iOS 9. I use Overcast listening to podcasts individually rather than using the playlist mode. All of my podcasts used to list episodes from oldest to newest, which is what I prefer. But recently, the order has been reversed playing newest to oldest. Is there a way to reverse the playing order again? I can't find anything in either the individual or general podcast settings to change this. Thanks for any help.

Is there a way in the native Music app to change names of playlists on the actual devices rather than having to go to iTunes to do it? If so, how does one do this with VoiceOver?

How do I get a premium voice for another language? I know you had to change the default
language karma but it doesn't work just to change it In the language on the rotor? Also, how do I get voice-over to stop saying every character I type on a hardware keyboard?

Hello all,
I have an iPhone 6S running iOS 10.1.1. I have discovered that the screen locks automatically after one minute if I don't touch the phone, which can be annoying. I went into Settings to change the amount of time, but I can't find the Auto Lock controls. On my iPad, they were under General. Where do I go on the iPhone?
Thanks,
Merlyn

I just finished my first training session with a new blind iPad Air 2 owner. I often start with Siri to help trainees gain confidence and make some quick and easy progress. That didn't work today. The trainee's hearing doesn't register the high-pitched double beep that Siri uses to signal that it's waiting for him to start speaking. Sadly, the iPad can't vibrate like the iPhone now does. He has high frequency hearing loss and can hear Siri's speech fine, just not the beeps.

Hi,
Since SoundScape will stop functioning soon, I'm now looking at other navigation apps. I'm a big fan of BlindSquare, but also looking at what else is out there as I prefer to have more than one available.

Hi everyone. I just have a quick question. The subject line pretty much says it all. But I just want an app that works with apple music or spotify to change the speed and pich of my spotify and apple music playlists. Thanks. Any help would be hugely appreciated. For some reason, I have a thing for changing music into chipmunk music.
