Hello,
A few IOS versions back - especially during the IOS 10 period - there used to be that feature where VoiceOver, whilst one would browse the Photos in the Photos app, would attempt to describe some of the picture content. The descriptions were never very detailed, and sometimes they were completely wrong (calling my cat a puppy and what not). But they still were a nice feature to keep track of what might be on the pictures.
Well, I upgraded to IOS 11.3, and none such descriptions are read anymore. And I can‘t find any way of getting them back.
iOS and iPadOS

Well, I went for a walk this morning and discovered a situation which I all along suspected time would reveal. I decided to take some pictures using both TapTapSee and oMoby. Using the highly touted TapTapSee, there were several "timeouts" before I got a rather week answer idendtifying green trees. OMoby indicated green trees and green grass; neither ever saw the house which should have been plainly visible but oMoby gave more detail all around. AS I recall, both Aps are free which may somewhat account for the inability to "Pay" the crowd sufficiently to attract good feedback.

Hello,
I wanted to make a quick observation regarding my brand new iPhone 15 Pro.
The other day, I had to restart it for some reason. When I did, I used the volume up, volume down, power button method. This did not result in the power on and off sounds playing.
In a different instance, I restarted it by turning the phone off and back on, which did play the sounds after I enable them.
Is it normal to have to enable those sounds?
Why wouldn’t they play if you use the volume button method?
Has anyone else made this same observation?

I have been experimenting with Microsoft's Soundscape and thus far, I'm enjoying it immensely. I have been using it in conjunction with Nearby Explorer. I've found Soundscape to be more accurate/precise as we approach an intersection. I'll be standing at the intersection and NE tells me that I'll be at the intersection in 30 feet. Oops. I'll revisit the NE app to see if I can better calibrate it.

hello everyone, each year we have this long list of what we would like to see in the next IOS version, and every year, the wish for voices comes up, such as eloquence. I would like to know, why is it when we all know that apple is not going to put voices like eloquence into voiceover, why is it that some just seem to obsess over that every year. you know that new voices like eloquence are not going to be added, so why obsess over it.

Greetings.
How does one obtain and edit precise font and style information when composing an e-mail message in the native Apple Mail app using VoiceOver?
Thanks.

I have an iPhone 14. Occasionally my 14 will freeze the screen on me when I am either on a regular phone call or a FaceTime call. Sometimes I can get it to unfreeze by locking my device and unlocking it. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same glitch?

i have severl thigns I'd like to do.
first if I get a bill sometimes it is a pic of the scannd page. can anything read this straight from my email?
second, I have boxes of frozen items I buy. is there anything that can read the barcode to tel me how to cook what it is I baught?
KNFB reader maybe ?
I've never scanned anything in my life with an iPhone so no clue here. I assunme that talking gl goggles or TapTap see wont do what i'm after. Thanks!

As mentioned in the description, the camera's lack of resolution is to put it mildly, a drag.
But using something like LookTel money reader gives me hope. I am amazed at how quickly and easily this works when compared to Noogle Noggles, oMoby, and even EyeNote. It's fast and accurate.
I haven't found any OCR that even gets close, unless all I want to know is if it's a bill or a credit card come on. It takes a whole lot of inference to get anything useful.

Hey guys–awesome announcement! I've received a lot of messages noting all the different bugs and issues with the current version of Voice. Thanks for finding and reporting them all to me, it makes it a lot easier to correct them and build a better version for you guys. Version 4.1 just went live on the App Store and I just wanted to post some of the really awesome stuff that I added into Voice.

I've tried without great success to use OCR apps like Prizmo, but I just realized you can use them without the camera to scan and read .pdf documents. Can't believe it took me so long to figure that out. If you double tap and hold on a pdf document, iOS gives you the option to open it in Prizmo and it's ready to scan.
Anyone have any similar tips for using OCR apps that don't require using the camera?

Hi, I need some advice. I bought an iTunes gift card today. I'm supposed to be able to peal off the strip, and redeem the code with my iPhones camera. I have scanned my card successfully less than a few times. However, I could not get the card to scan at all today. I don't want to keep asking someone every time I get a new card. Is there a app that will let me take a picture of the code, so I can copy and paste it in the redeem text field? Any advice is helpful, thanks.

Hi, all!
I'm beginning to wonder if this exists - but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm looking for something that can perform OCR on pre-scanned .pdf files. Adobe Acrobat can do this, I believe, and allegedly Google Docs does as well (but we all know how consistent Google's accessibility is...) I'm hoping there's an iOS app that can do the trick as well.
To be clear: I'm not looking for an app that will scann a document or take a picture and perform OCR. I'm looking for something that I could import a .pdf into and have the app perform OCR on the scanned document in the .pdf file.

On an iPad Mini, retina display. Using Safari with Voiceover on. Ios 9.1. This happens A LOT in different places but just one example is this - on the Apple Vis website, I tap forums and instead of going to forums Voiceover says f, try again and Voiceover says o, try again and Voiceover says r, and so on. I have to turn off Voiceover, tap the forums link, then it works.

I am getting an odd beeping sound each time I enter a letter in the message app. Sometimes it just plays the normal click sound, but most of the time it makes this annoying beep really loud. Any suggestions as to how to get rid of this annoying behavior? Thanks much.

Hello, everyone.
When I open Lire, it automatically performs a feed refresh an then caches new articles. If I immediately go to "Settings -> Caching Options" and activate the "Cache All Uncached"button, Lire once more performs an article cache even when I am certain no new articles have arrived in the time between the first and second cache. There should be no need to cache articles this second time since the auto-refresh and cache took place only seconds before when Lire was opened. I can reproduce this scenario whenever I open Lire. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

I am having an odd thing happen with safari. If I use siri to do a search from my homescreen and it finds a search hit with amazon and I open that link it only takes me to the amazon home page in the amazon app and not the link I've searched for.. If I use other browsers I do not have this problem. Hope this is clear. I've looked at all my setting and I can't find anything set incorrectly that I can tell.

Hello..
Hope all’s well. Wondering if anyone has experienced this and if so, know how to rectify.
On occasion, I need to hand my iphone 6s to a fully sighted person for one reason or another. I triple click the home button and voiceover disables. That’s all fine…. But when the fully sighted person types in Safari, Whatsapp and Facebook, a voice echo speeks whatever is being typed. Even though voiceover has been switched off. I’m using iOS10.2.
Any ideas?
Many thanks
