iOS and iPadOS

Hi all,

The Roger team works very quickly! Just a while ago, not even an hour ago as of this writing, yet another update was released that fixes all the issues VoiceOver users were having. With as many Roger users on here, i'm a bit surprised that more people weren't talking about this. Anyways, Thanks to the Roger team for fixing these VoiceOver issues so quickly. Now it's pretty much like back to normal, and when you're listening to someone you can still use the playback rate button too. and all those extra buttons are gone too.

I installed the free roku channel app on my iPhone SE 2020 phone. I then made a free account. Will this app airplay to an apple-tv? Also it won't let me scroll through all the tv channels. How do I do this if possible? The roku channel offers free live tv channels that neither stirr, nor pluto tv offers. But there is no apple tv app so I will have to airplay channels from the roku channel. Any tips on using this app with voiceover will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Does anyone know if the Roku Mobile app for iOS is accessible?

I’m actually wanting to watch the new Weird movie from Al Yankovic (unfortunately, without Audio Description at time of writing).

If you belong to the Tech VI list and read your email with voiceover on, using iOS 17, does your device say "tech 6 instead of "Tech VI? If so, has any of you reported it yet? I'm planning on doing so myself. We have a "CVI" center here at my work and VO also says "106" instead of CVI.

Hi all. As we all know dictation spectacularly fails most of the time. When i try to switch the rotar from, actions where it brings up the context menu, to say words to scroll down and fix my handy work, it somehow goes right back to the default. I can have it set to words, swipe down maybe once or twice then it's back to "activate context menu". Anyone else have this? It's making me less sane than I was that that wasn't much. :)

Rotor actions in mail
Hi everyone,
I'm using Gmail on an iPhone 5. Has anyone ever noticed, when using the rotor to delete messages, they always end up in the all-male or archived folders? Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a Gmail setting to move into the trash this way?
Sorry to disrupt anyone's email organized life, but I really hope this can be fixed. Or at least tell me how to fix it :-)

Has anyone else notice that since updating their iPhone to iOS10 that the text selection option in the rota which enables you to ignore a word if you wrote it right but it tries to correct it, it is not there anymore?

Hello, I am trying to isolate a bug I have in several writing apps affecting the line by line reading mode.

Description

In several apps (Bear note, Microsoft Word, SimpleNote...) reading formatted text line by line is impossible as VoiceOver stops reading, it makes the clicking sound but does not move from current line. It happens mostly if reading from the first line to the last, but even trying the opposite at a certain points stops working. No work-around detected yet.

I discovered a feature in iOs 11 in messages that there is a rotor option in the messages app called mispelled words. I cannot find this in the native notes app, though, so I wonder if there is a way to access that? I am an author and am writing a long book wich every note being a chapter and this would greatly enhance the spell checking experience. This is a good feature, but I don’t know how to use it. Wouldn’t this be better in the notes app than the messages app?

Hi, all. Is there a way to specify a rotor setting within an activity? For example, vertical navigation in Dice world, actions in Mail?

Thanks,
Teresa

Hi,
No matter what I do I can't get the VoiceOver rotor to reorder itself the way I like it. What is the logic behind what happens if you are moving things around and you are not on the first page of items? I move an item to the top of the screen and the whhole thing shuffles like a deck of cards.

Hi all,
I use a projector with my iPad Pro in my classes in university. Starting with iOS 12 I started to encounter a problem while projecting.
When VO speech comes from the projector speakers, I use the rotor to @Audio Device@ and change the output device from external to default audio device.

Hello everyone. I know if you've got an HDMI device connected you can send voiceover output to it, but is there any way to route voiceover audio to something like the device speakers while using your airpods for other things like music. Or can you use an airpod for voiceoverwhile using your devices audio for other things?

Finally, there was a way in the past to change which side of the stereo field Voiceover came from, that way you could have it come out of say the left airpod only. I looked in settings but couldn't see that anymore. Is this still possible?

Hi there. I recently discovered that the easyreader app for IOS has access to the RNIB overdrive library. However, on downloading the app, I couldn't see the service in the list, nor in the library manager. I have tried reinstalling the app, restarting my phone and sining back into my dolphin account. I am running the latest version of IOS on an iphone 6s+. has anyone else come across this issue or know a work around. It would be amazing to access this surface on an accessible app. :)

Hi, AppleVis community! Can anyone suggest any RSS reader apps that can send push notification to your iOS device?
Thank you!

I'm trying to figure out the RSS feed thing and I want to start getting this sites feeds but I'm confused. I downloaded a few apps but when I click on a link on the AppleVis rss page all I get is a error saying do I want to search for a rss app in the AppStore. Can anyone talk me through this?
