I have been told that many users are still experiencing problems getting the VoiceBook app to work. The symptom that I am hearing the most of is a message stating that it can't connect to VoiceBook, make sure you have a internet connection, etc. It then mentions an error code of "2500 AuthError"
I have been trying to come up with a fix for this. Some people say they have uninstalled and cleared their safari cache, then reinstalled and it works. Others are saying that does not work.
I was finally able to reproduce the issue and came up with a fix, although it was a bit complex.
iOS and iPadOS

Hi All,
For the last few weeks, VoiceBook VO has experienced an interruption in service. The issue has been resolved; data is flowing again. I apologize for the interruption, but it took a while to work with Facebook to get the problem cleared up.
Many people reported trying to fix the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling the application. Be aware that if you did this, it will lose the flag that indicates you have already paid for an upgrade. Good News! If you go through the purchase process again, Apple will recognize that you have paid already and will NOT charge you again.

Hi all…
I'm Ben, the developer of the Voicebook VO app. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to make everyone aware of an issue. I have been working on an update that will address many of the concerns people have had with refreshing, number of comments, as well as some enhancements. Unfortunately, due to some "under-the-weather" days and an unforeseen Hardware issue, this release is a bit behind schedule.
Being behind schedule, you will soon run into one of the bugs I hoped to fix before it became an issue.

Hi All!
Just a quick note to let you know that an update to Voicebook VO, the quick Facebook client designed for voice over users, has hit the store and soon be showing in your update list, if it's not there already.
Following is the change log:
This is mainly a maintenance release to address issues brought up from user feedback on version 1.00. Look for new features in the next update.
+ Setting to toggle auto-refresh on/off.

It saddens me to write this, but I am forced to pull the Voicebook VO app, my attempt to make Facebook much more accessible, from the app store. Over the last year and a half, Facebook has made changes which, in effect, broke the functionality of Voicebook. I have been working to rectify this problem by updating the code to the new APIs. However, upon submitting the fixed version, I was told that Facebook will no longer provide permissions for apps to read from a users newsfeed if they already have an app on a given platform.

Hi there everyone. Today I will be telling you about 2 apps that can help imporve your life in the category of literature. These apps are for the Ios devices only. These apps are called Voicedream Reader and Voicedream Writer. You could do a lot of things in these apps. For example in Voicedream Reader you could download books from BookShare, several Rss Readers and several other books. You could get books in several formats. Make highlights throughout your books. Read books in Braille if you have a Braille Display and much more. In Voicedream Writer you could do so many things as well.

Hello all,
I just updated my iPhone to iOS 15.0.1.
For some strange reason that I cannot understand, my entire Voice Dream book shelf is missing. I toggled the iCloud sink , I reinstall the app.
I’ve got thousands of books on my Voice Dream app and I am afraid they might have disappeared somewhere.
Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Have a good day all.

Hello! I have to say first of all, I really like VoiceDream Scanner but am having a little problem. When I scan a document and it automatically reads back the results I am getting two voices reading at the same time. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
Thanks,
Jim

Well then, folks: last week an email popped into my inbox (as opposed to anywhere else, which would have been a surprise) informing me that I will be charged another $50 or something like that to renew my subscription to VoiceDream Reader in a few weeks. Cue a trip down memory lane to last year and the debacle with that app: first, it was a subscription or else. Then, it was erm, well, yes we might have misjudged this but you really must subscribe, please.

I found all my newer bookshare books in the VoiceDream library in iCloud. I've looked on my phone, and I can't seem to find the older stuff, including one PDF file I'd really like to have. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone. I've noticed when on the phone one voicemail and are prompted to press 2 to listen to messages or 3 to delete VoiceOver remains silent and you can't move around the screen to find the number you want etc. the only way I can do it is to move the phone until its on loud speaker, then it seems to work. Is there a workkkaround without having to go to loud speaker first?

I have a iphone 4 and I need to get a voice message transferred to my computer. Some of the words are distorted, unclear and I really need to be able to hear those words. Is there a way to do this?

I’m having issues playing back voicemails from my iPhone. The message will start to play through the earpiece, then it will play through the speaker, then back to the earpiece… Or sometimes it will just stop playing randomly. The same thing happens when I try to use my AirPods to listen to the message. When I turn off voiceover, it plays back normally. Is anyone else running into this issue? Thanks

Hello everyone, I saw someone mention voicemail transcription under the IOS11 accessibility thread and it reminded me that I have never actually got this to work. I understood it was meant to appear next to the 'more info' button with the voicemail expanded, but I've never seen it. Has anyone else had this problem? If not, could someone please tell me how to work it or point me in the direction of somewhere on this site where it's already been done? It's not a massive issue for me, but it would be nice to be able to have the option sometimes.

Since using VoiceOver I have discovered some four or more finger gestures that I find useful. As far as I can tell these gestures seem to be undocumented by Apple.
Note: Multitasking Gestures have to be turned Off in Settings to use these gestures.
These gestures have only been tested on an iPad. They work fine on a iPad 3rd generation and on an iPad Air, however, on smaller screens using four finger gestures might be more difficult. If anyone would like to try them on an iPhone or iPod please post the results here.
Here is what I have found:

I'm not sure of a better way to describe this.
I open up Photos on my iPhone 11 running iOS 15.1. I then attempt to search through my photos as usual. If I swipe right to get to the list of photos, VoiceOver will suddenly flicker. By this I mean it just stops for a second, then announces "screen curtain on" and puts me back at the top of the photos app.

Hi, a blind iPhone SE user who I am helping to become proficient with VoiceOver is experiencing problems ending outgoing phone calls which I cannot replicate on my iPhone 8. She finds that her iPhone screen sometimes dims during phone calls and that, following this, double tapping with two fingers has no effect, which means that she might leave one of those interminable voice mails. On my iPhone 8 double tapping with two fingers ends calls irrespective of the state of the screen and I've not noticed problems in this area before on earlier phone models.

Hello, does anyone know of a remote support app that will allow a VoiceOver user to support an iOS device remotely for tech support, troubleshooting, etc?
Thanks

Hi
I have previously used the app "Tube Tamer" when I have been in London. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, at least not in my App Store.
What other apps are there that can be used with VoiceOver and where you can enter from/to stations and see which lines you can take, where to get off/change etc.?
Thanks in advance.
