iOS and iPadOS

I am running the latest update of NFB Newsline and iOS 12.1.2.

On my iPhone 6, all of my NFB Newsline subscriptions were organized alphabetically and, within each section, by date ascending.

Since I upgraded my phone to an iPhone XR I now see that all of my subscriptions are scrambled and no longer organized alphabetically. In fact, whereas magazines with the same name used to be grouped together, now the magazines are all jumbled and interspersed with each other.

How does one access subtasks in Reminders with VoiceOver?

The only way I can find to do this is to go to View Details and then to Subtasks and then interact with them there.

Is there an easier/quicker way?

Has anyone tried to use IOS 11 to read subtitles in films where there English subtitles? I have had really no luck getting this to work. I have tried this feature with YouTube vidios and on the PBS app. I have the rotor setting to speech on that media content thing that's new. I can however get VO to read the closed captioning for the deaf but not subtitles. Please post if you have had any better luck than I've had. Thanks very much.

Hi all. I know there will probably be many topics like these. However I wanted to share my experience. I have an iphone 3gs 8 gigabyte. Really old phone. Refurbished too. I am getting the 4s next only because I don't have and won't have the 199 dollars for the 5 and most features on the 5 that I am interested in are on the 4s so except for the design I won't be missing out on much. I will get a 5 eventually.

Hi All,
Since yesterday a very odd thing has suddenly started to happen with the Audible app. I can no longer open any book. Double tapping will start the book playing/pausing but, it remains on the book list screen. So none of the book controls shows up. As far as I know I've not had a recent update to the app so was wondering if anyone else has seen this. As I say only just starting. Hard restart, deleting and downloading again has made no difference. iOS 13.4.1 iPhone 8.

Hi folks,

 

I have been made aware of an application called SugarSync I allows one to sync files between ios and pc including documents. I am wondering if anyone is using this application with success on the pc end using assistive technology? The iphone ap looked accessible but the pc manager end does not at first glance. Thanks.

Hi all,
Does anyone use this app on iOS device?
I'm using Yahoo Finance app on my iPhone running iOS 15.7. The stock price at the desired symbol or asset keeps refreshing but VoiceOver cannot automatically read it out. It is probably caused by the app design without aria-live feature.
Thus, I'm reporting the issue and suggesting the developer to fix it with aria-live.
Could anyone here please also make an suggestion to them?

Thanks for your attention.

Cheers,
Corsia

I have suggested this to accessibility see my post in the bottom of this mail, and got the expected answer we have sent your suggestion ttto the relevant department. Even though it is simple to add my guess is that unless more people ask for this feature we will never see it.

Any suggestions for VoiceOver friendly iOS apps for learning basic Italian?

Hey guys!!

I have a possible suggestion for an alternative to Apple News. I've been having the same issues you all have been having with Vo. having Add. when you ahe using Apple apps. Although I have not had iisues in Safari, I have had it in News. And it's particularly annoying when ever I have Vo. read the story with 2 finger swipe down.

Hi all. Since i'm not able to use Apple Pay, is there anyone wiling to do a demo of it in an upcoming podcast? I'm curious what voice over says when something's payed for. Just a thought.

I know the campaign of the month has gotten some good results before, so I'll throw this crazy idea out there and see if it sticks. I'm noticing that more and more apps seem to be effected by this bug in iOS 6 when it comes to VoiceOver and other audio sources like games,and apps like TuneIn Radio, where the audio cuts out when VoiceOver speaks. I know it's possible for each of us to send an email to the accessibility folks at apple, but I'm wondering if we wouldn't stand a better chance with a campaign of the month?

Hi all,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, I could have sworn I saw an "Applevis feedback and discussion" forum but I can't find it now. ☺️

Looking to record phone numbers, appointments, recipes and bird songs for blind birding. Finding most voice memos type on phone or iPad are a hassle. - not easily located, then to start the recording. Really great to find something quickly activated - pause & done. Any & all suggestions welcome; otherwise looking for dictaphone suggestions. Thanks!

Hi All, I'm looking for suggestions on reference books I can use to move up from a beginner level Mac user to an intermediate or advanced level. Both hardware and software focussed books are welcome. Of course, as little as possible focus on mouse navigation is appreciated. Books strong in support of Mac-based networking and web site creation and maintenance are also highly desirable. By "books" I mean e-books or recorded audio. Thanks in advance. /jp

I am interested in any suggestions you might have for the best apps that would allow me to scan and read wall displays in museums in my area. I may bring someone, but I may wish to realive them of having to read every single display.

I do have KNFB Reader, Say Text, and Voice. I am looking at other apps, preferably those that can work with or without an internet connection. Does anyone out there have suggestions? Thanks

I am curious what techniques or suggestions people have for taking notes when talking on the phone if one is using VoiceOver.

Unfortunately Apple doesn't let apps record the audio from phone calls so that one can transcribe the mesage at a later time. Using VoiceOver to dictate a note while talking on the phone also seems a bit awkward.

hi applevis, has anyone tried this app? Anytune - Slow down music without changing pitch by Anytune Inc.
https://appsto.re/sg/8GFWy.i
it is quite accessible but can be better. for example if i want to add markers or loop certain parts of the track, it is not so easy to move to the exact spot. i like to write to the developer but not exactly sure how to bring it across and what can he do to help. i hope someone can try it out and give some suggestions. thanks.
