I'm using an iPhone 8 and when I'm trying to enter numbers from the telephone keypad they sometimes click or just beep without saying that number it is. I can't seem to slide my finger around and hear what number it's under. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I would run into this problem occasionally on my older phone, but when I need to enter in information in a menu it's next to impossible to do so now and there's no option to speak my answer or default to an operator at the number I'm calling. Any help would be welcome. Thanks for reading.

I have a student who has been independently using an iPad with VoiceOver to complete classroom assignments in the Pages app. Upon returning to school this year, the VoiceOver cursor is getting "stuck". We cannot move left or right with the arrows, the cursor will jump around when typing and creating and especially editing a document is virtually impossible.

When you are viewing the menu for a restaurant in the Uber eats app, there is usually a selector control allowing you to easily flick up or down to move through the different sections of the menu such as entrées, desserts, drinks etc. As of the latest version of the Uber eats app, I cannot locate this selector, making menu navigation extremely difficult. As it was, this selector was already tricky to find. I would have to do a four finger single tap toward the bottom of the screen to navigate to it, but even that does not work now.

I used to use the doordash app quite a bit and found it very accessible, but I’ve had trouble for a while now because when I click on a restaurant to go through the menu things seem to appear willy-nilly, for example when I want to focus on tacos on a Mexican menu and start to flick right I might get the listing for chicken tacos, but if I continue to go right I’ll get listings for Coke, beef burritos, rice, flan, etc., so it’s very hit-or-miss as to trying to find a specific item I may be looking for.

I am a new user of the I phone 5 and have purchased both Digit eyes and Colored eye aps. However can't seem to get either of these to work for me. I have listened to the podcasts, but still something not doing quite right. Any suggestions? I also have the Looktell money reader which is working great for me. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, have noticed recently that the latest version of digit eyes no longer reads out the cooking instructions of products, which it used too, does it still do it, of does that feature only work on certain products and not all?

I'm new to iPhone and recently purchased Digit-Eyes app after noting many favorable endorsements.
I've not been successful as yet in getting the app to spot a bar code. However, during recent attempts, the D-E screen seems to disappear and the phone's focus gets shifted to the phone's status bar. At this point, I've got to exit the status menu, re-open D-E, which again moves me back to the status bar. D-E seems to continue snapping photos throughout this process.
I've contacted D-E re: this matter but have not heard back from them as yet.

I'm looking for a digital driving journal for iOS that works well with Voiceover. I also gratefully accept tips on other ways to log mileage by car. I will have it to calculate and pay mileage compensation.

I recently subscribed to Classic Rock magazine. I thought the magazine would be in PDF but was not and VoiceOver cannot read it. I suppose I could go with a print copy since I still have some useful vision, but I would prefer digital. I tried to find an app that would read the magazine to me but all it is was a picture and no way to get it to read.

So after transfering my purchases over to my new phone, the bar-code scanner portion of DEL stopped working, it asks me to buy it again, the company has no answer, and apple can't help. anyone else seeing this? any thoughts.

Well, it's almost the ghosting hour again, so I'm going to be playing Dimensions. I've just completed a comprehensive tutorial for it, which is the 11th comment posted on the app. If you don't get it after reading the tutorial, you're not going to, because it's not for everyone.
Second, I found, after listening to the podcast on ISamurai, a free version of the game. It only gives you the first two opponents, and you don't get thrust attack or critical strike, but you can buy these in-app.

Can anyone help. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if this is some kind of bug or bad update...
I'm trying to play a bunch of previously accessible apps however when on them, the only feedback I get from VoiceOver is "Direct touch area", everywhere on the screen. If I rota and enable direct touch, I then get no VO feedback at all.

Since iOS 17, when one takes a screenshot and immediately invokes the dialog to adjust or share it, a large portion of the screen, which I assume is the image part, is now a direct touch area. Unfortunately I can't seem to toggle this with the rotor as usual, and it doesn't appear in the list of direct touch apps. Does anyone know if there is a rationale behind it being a direct touch area, or if it should be filed as a bug?

Just thaught I'd let you all know that in IOS 16.0.2 when using direct touch the focus no longer jumps around. I've tested it with BitLife and it works.

Hello
Hoping for help from someone who is a bit more up-to-date with
Apple than i am.
Problem
I have coded a game that uses Direct Touch and works fine on ipad 17.5.1
and will not work on ios 17.5.1
ipad is gen 10
iphone is iphone13 mini
I can enable Direct Touch from the rotor but it does nothing
i have de-selected it from the list of direct touch apps
then re-enabling it from the rotor
to no success.
Is there hope in ios 18?

Hi everyone,
I came across a few mentions of "Direct Touch" on the forum today, which seems to be a feature that will allow touches/gestures to bypass VO. This seems like it could be super useful, however I am not able to find it anywhere in my settings. How can I activate it? I am running an iPhone 8 on 14.1, if that helps.
Thanks so much!

I was playing the Nebula arcade game, and I was on the screen that had a new game and menu level buttons. I played with the rotor for some reason and came across a rotor item which says "direct touch". I flicked down and got the choices "on" and "off". This was not in a text field. It doesn't look like the typing style rotor item, so I'm wondering what it is. I've tried looking in the manual and another reference book, but only direct touch typing is mentioned. Any ideas?

So direct touch typing works everywhere else. But when on a phone call, the dial pad reverts to standard touch typing. Apple engineers have actually confirmed that this is incorrect behavior. But nothing has been done to fix it.
