Hi all,
I just updated my iPhone XR to iOS 13. I've disabled the haptic feedback for VoiceOver, but when I try use the native iOS keyboard, I'm still getting haptic feedback for every letter entered, and every time I move my finger around the keyboard when using slide to type. Any way to disable the haptic for this?
Thanks in advance.

I have a bluetooth keyboard in Swedish and wonder what the command for switching between apps in split view is? I know there is one because it works on my friend's english keyboard.

Hey folks,
I'm having this problem.
Lately when I need to type a text my screen keyboard is not available with VO.
I am able to activate the edit box, and if I flick to the right I can get to the dictate button and when I tap to finish it sends the text automatically. But the keyboard doesn't appear.
I find that if I turn off bluetooth, then the screen keyboard does appear, but that's not a viable option for me now since I'm using my Meta Glasses as a BT headset a lot of the time.

Hi all
I have an Iphone 4s and when I try to type a txt message I find the keyboard is set out in a straightline rather than the normal keyboard. this is how voice over reads it out to me but I have been informed that visually the keyboard is set out as normal. this is driving me mad so would value all help.
Cheers

These days I discovered I can make a tom of stuff with the native shortcuts app and then started creating voiceover keyboard shortcuts for some of the most useful ones, like opening the apps I use most.
After created, keyboard shortcuts cannot be removed though, they don’t even appear as keyboard shortcuts when you select one under the Siri Shortcuts category. Is anyone else facing this bug? Is there any workaround?

I have a blind persion with other disabilities that is using her iPad with a bluetooth keyboard. She is not good at fine movement. Is there a keyboard shortcut for Siri? She used Type To Siri. She doesn¨’t talk. She is really good at learning and I have come far to help her.

Hi. Recently I've noticed that my shortcuts for phrases aren't being saved on my iPhone 5. I usually use this feature as it saves me typing words and phrases out in full. It just makes that typing experience allot better. I have some words and phrases saved and I can't seem to understand why the iPhone is not saving my new entries. Has anyone had an issue with shortcuts?

I use quite a lot of keyboard shortcuts. For example I use three letters which creates my email address. Lately when entering my email on various websites and forms, three letters followed by space doesn’t seem to want to create the email address and I have to write out in full. Is anybody else having this problem? It even happened on this website today.

The new keyboard clicks sound extremely disgusting. Instead of the traditional keyboard click they sound ummmm....like something moist escaped from a bodily part. This has got to be fixed.

Greetings. I switch keyboard layout with capslog. On iOs 15.3.1 everything worked fine. Yesterday I updated my device to iOs 15.6.1, and now the keyboard periodically seems to get stuck when switching the language. Well, that is, the speech synthesizer pronounces the name of the language to which I switched, but when I try to enter, nothing changes and the same keyboard remains that was before the attempt to switch. It only helps to turn off voiceover before changing the keyboard language. And this problem does not always arise, but I failed to catch the pattern.

iPhone 14 Pro.
The keyboard will not appear when double tapping into an edit field for either text or numbers on iOS.
I have done the following:
Restarted phone.
Restarted VoiceOver.
Updated to iOS 17.2.1.
Turned off BlueTooth (so the phone doesn't think it's paired to a Bluetooth keyboard).
The only workarounds are dictation and using the handwriting option from the rotor.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

Hi all,
I don't know what came first. The last IOS update or getting Fleksy. All apps that use a keyboard no longer use a double tap on the keys, just like Fleksy they work by a touch and release is this normal now? or did I change this sone how. I'm using a 4s with VO on.
Thanks John

Hi all!
This is my first time posting to the forum so please bear with me.
So, I’ve recently made the switch from Safari to Edge on iOS. I was really skeptical about Edge on both my iPhone and Windows machine for the longest time, but I’m really enjoying the experience. However, I’m noticing that some of the gestures and keyboard/braille display commands I use in Safari don’t work on Edge. I’ve also noticed that other functions that would benefit from commands/gestures don’t have them. For example:

I'm guessing this is a possible bug, is anyone else having issues with the keybord not coming up in the latest version of dabel when on an edit field?

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of Keybuild, an app I work on in my free time for building your own keyboard. I make it a point to support tools like VoiceOver by default, but I've specifically had feedback that the app has been working well for VoiceOver users, so this week's upcoming update is focused on optimising the VoiceOver experience. I'm linking to it here in the hopes of getting some feedback on the changes, the update notes for which are included in this post.
