As the subject says, I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between standard speed and high speed in the speech settings of Speech Central. I have tried searching but I've found nothing. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi all. Feel free to move this if necessary to another forum. I just read a post on here about mowing the lawn with an iPhone in tow, and that got me thinking about something. What is the difference between the compass app and other GPS apps out there? I guess this isn't specific to Apple products, but I'm of course asking as an iPhone user. I know that at least some of these GPS apps provide turn-by-turn directions. Back in fifth grade I used a hand-held Braille compass with an O&M instructor, and it was pretty cool.

I'd like to receive different sound alerts for mails from different senders while still keeping them in their separate folders. From what I understand, you can choose a different sound for different folks you add to your vip folder. But that would mean having all of these mails in one place, which makes no sense since I use different folders for different mailinglists etc.. Any suggestions how to have my cake and eat it? :-)

His appears to be something new in 9.3 tha is VO related. I'm noticing that punctuations and paces are being announced in a different voice now. I use Alex for my main voice, and am hearing Daniel announcing if I read over a punctuation. Not sure if this is a setting with VO, or with the speak screen option or what, and if any setting regarding this can be changed.

I have some accessibility challenges with the UberEATS app. When they added the ability to add restaurants to favorites, The restaurant listing no longer behaves properly with VoiceOver. There are headings within the listing such as "new on UberEats," under 30 minutes," "your go-to's," Etc. but none of the restaurant names beneath these headings are announced with VoiceOver. As I flick right I only hear the favorite button being announced for each item.

Greetings all!
Using my iMac (OS High Sierra), I have been scanning in hard copy documents using an Epson printer/scanner and saving them as PDF files. Unfortunately, I have been unable to read said files using voiceover on my iPhone 7-plus. Should I get a more robust PDF creator that is compatible with my Epson scanner that allows me to make editable PDF files? I've heard good things about the VoiceDream Reader app; should I just get that? Or should I get an OCR reader? Thank you!

Hello,
Today I had to explain to a friend how to change the home screen wallpaper on his iPhone.
Since I haven't done it in a while, I wanted to check how exactly it was done. I went to Settings -> Wallpaper -> Home Screen Wallpaper. A window popped up with some controls on the bottom of the screen.
That window for customizing the home screen wallpaper however did not stay on the screen for long. After a few seconds, it disappeared. And that happens every time I invoke it.
I even restarted the phone, but the behavior did not change.

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.
