Since purchasing my 2nd generation Airpods Pro, I have been able to consume more content with spatial audio. They told me that it was a revolutionary technology, capable of projecting sounds even above and behind the listener, giving the sensation of being in a movie theater or on a stage with musicians.
It turns out that, for me, spatial audio seems more like widening the stereo audio field than doing anything else. I don't understand all the revolutions they say I would see when using the feature.
The speak auto text option found in settings, accessibility, spoken content, typing feedback, speak auto text seems to turn off automatically every time it is turned on. For a while, it seems to work properly. However, after a point, it turns off without user consent and requires that user go back to accessibility to turn it back on
One. Enable voiceover screen reader.
Two. Go to settings, accessibility, spoken content, typing feedback, and turn speak auto text on
Don’t know if this is an iOS 15 bug, or device specific, but although I have speak auto text on in VoiceOver settings for VoiceOver to speak auto corrections, it keeps seemingly toggling itself off randomly. Has anyone else experience thihis?
My understanding of Speak Detected Text is that it should cause VO to announce text changes in focused fields that might not automatically be spoken by VO due to the use of non-standard controls. If I am wrong, kindly advise. I have a Polar Beat IOS app used with an HR7 Polar heart monitor which displays changes in heart rate on the iPhone screen in the Polar Beat app. I know the heart rate is changing as I hear the different numbers when I swipe away and back to the heart rate field.
I've reported the bug but wanted to know if it was just me or what. I've noticed that at least since iPadOS 16, American Siri voices will randomly skip chunks of text if I'm using them for Speak Screen. On web pages it's apparently random, but in Kindle, for instance, the same chunks of text in books will be skipped. But if I use non-Siri American voices, everything is read in full everywhere. Likewise, other Siri English voices read everything fully--only American Siri voices skip.
I have an issue I would like to discuss.
When I ask Siri to speak screen in iBooks, it sometimes recognizes the wrong language.
I would rather use speak screen instead of two-finger-swiping for continuous reading since I get disturbed by notifications and I don't want to turn on do not disturb in case I get an important call or something. Plus, I have found that the iPhone's screen really heats up while reading longer periods.
I use speak screen extensively for Kindle books on my Ipad 6th gen, currently running IOS 17 public beta. I'm on a limited income and wondering whether it is worth it to upgrade to the 8th gen Ipad which has the more advanced chip. Can anyone tell me whether the speak screen function is significantly better on the 8th or 9th gen models? For me, the Siri voices are good, though sometimes a little rough, with syllables dropping out. I listen at normal speed for books.
Have any of you managed to add the brief description to their action button after the latest speakaboo update? I'm baffled in the shortcut app it shows as being there. However, when in the action button settings under shortcuts it doesn't show up. Am I missing something?
Hi everyone, I am one of the creators of Speakaboo. I saw that someone had posted it to the App Directory a couple weeks ago and just wanted to say hello and thank you for using the app, and please let me know how my team can continue to improve it to better suit your needs.
Speakaboo offers spoken descriptions for photos, similar to how BeMyAI and other apps function. However, my team has designed it with the goal of making it as simple and convenient as possible, so you can get the information you need without extra steps or distractions.
Another IOS7 bug that I would like to know if anyone else is encoutnering. The default behaviour is for the speaker to be activated when you recieve a icnoming call with Voiceover activiated but in IOS7, I am notcing that it doesn't transition between that and normal phone mode as smoothly when you put it to your head. I nromally end up missing what people tell me in the first few seconds.
My last app is available for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. It is the Speaker assistant. A tool to help you when you are presenting something or when you are in a speech.
Hi guys, i am legally blind and do a podcast to raise awareness about our community.
This started happening 2 weeks ago or so.
2 things are happening that are related:
1.
This is kind of a follow-up to my post earlier about direct touch and VoiceOver not speaking words.
I'm noticing now that if autocorrect has to jump in, then it's not speaking the words and it's just saying space. If I get the letters exactly right, then it'll read the word correctly, which makes me wonder if there's a new setting somewhere I'm missing to make sure VoiceOver will speak autocorrections out loud.
Note: It is not under spoken content; I've already tried this.
We have created an app for listening to email called Speaking Email. We think this would be useful for blind users.
I would be grateful for any feedback on what changes we might need to make so it works better for blind people. It is a paid app so if you would like a free copy you are welcome to email me for a promo code on [email protected]
For iOS, iPad, and for any Mac, Apple TV, and Homepod users, what accessibility changes do you want to see in the next update? I'm going to send this post to Apple's accessibility division.
Alright, so maybe I am getting old, but I recall in iOS 10, and I was pretty sure in iOS 11 too, but when the onscreen keyboard pops up, if you perform a long press on a letter, or even on an emogy, you typically get access to special characters. For example, for French users, if you wanted to type in a "É" or "à ", you would simply long press on the "e" or "a" and a list of special characters would pop up. I also believe that this was the same action to access alternative versions of an emogy.
