So i was scrolling on facebook just now and went in to a group post to comment. I noticed a new feature called Switch Actor. Never seen this before and I had to spell it letter by letter to make sure I heard that right. Anybody seen it or tried it? Just was wondering.
iOS and iPadOS

Hi all
I have an interesting observation with my iPhone 4s and asking is the below normal.

I'm fooling around with print maps again, and this time I printed out a map after flipping it in the Photos app, then inserting it into a Pages document to make a mirrored image. This is so I can get a sighted person to trace the lines of the map with a ballpoint pin on a drawing board to make it tactile. It has names and numbers on it, but I only care about the lines at this time.
Voice over recognizes the image, both in Photos and Pages, as a map and tries to read a bunch of gibberish, I assume because it is backwards.

So, I just tried to post to Mastodon on the disabled.social server via the Mona app and got an internal server error 500.
This continues to happen.
What has happened and what do I do?

How do you interrupt voiceover? My example is: I double tap to have a song to start playing, and VO says song title, how long it is, and then button. By the time all that information finishes, the song is playing. How do you stop all that if you don't need the information? On the computer when screen reader gets too chatty, tapping the control key stops it. Thanks in advance.

Am looking for suggestions. Need a iOS timer app for someone who is visually impaired and quadriplegic. Person needs a subtle reminder every 15 minutes, throughout the entire day. Person uses voice over as their access. Looking for something they can turn on at the beginning of the day and turn off at the end of the day, independently. Also looking for something that just has a short beep at the 15 minute interval, then resets automatically, throughout the day.

Hi all,
I saw mention of this app on one of my news feeds today, and thought it sounded interesting (kind of like SoundHound, but for TV shows rather than music). Unfortunately I've not had an opportunity to test it, as it is not available in my regional iTunes Store. But, as it is free, I figured that some people here would likely be interested enough to try it.
Here is a trimmed version of the description from iTunes:

Hi everyone,
I have developed a free and open source podcast app, called Anytime Podcast Player, which is available for iOS and Android. I've been working on improving accessibility within the app and particularly the screen reader support, but I know there is more improvements to be made and I was recommended this forum - thank you Robert.
I would be very grateful for any feedback, tips or suggestions that can help me improve the accessibility in Anytime and make it a better app if anyone would like to try it.

Hi, I work on the Autour app developed at McGill University, and I would like someone to test it and write an entry for it. It's an app for discovering your surroundings, much like Blindsquare, but with different features, as it's been developed independently, much of it before Blindsquare was first released, although Autour was released later. Among other things, it has spatialised audio for indicating direction, and multiple modes of reading, called Beam mode, Radar mode and Shockwave mode, each of which allowing to alternate between automatic reading and history.

Hi everyone, I have created a simple checklist iOS application, CheckMate which was recently released on the App Store. CheckMate was created in 2017. Back then, I was looking for a simple checklist application and I found tonnes of such applications. I have downloaded a few of them to try however I could not find one that suit my need of having categorization of items as most of them require manual indentation to do so.
