Inspired by my late mother-in-law who was visually impaired, I have developed a new keyboard for iPhone with large and extra large keys that should help visually impaired folks when they need to type and dictation will not do.
In our completely new keyboard design, we are trading key size (we have larger keys) for typing speed (need to type more keys). However, with our predictive key’s algorithm, the number of additional keys to type is only 10% to 20% more than on a system keyboard so the speed is very good and it can be used like any other keyboard.

I just came across this using my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 with VoiceOver and thought it might be of interest to some.
A 3 finger quadruple tap apparently will copy the last spoken text to the clipboard.
could be useful. I never knew of this gesture and thought I would share it with folks.

Hi! For me, if it wasn't for the broken image disscriptions, I'd pull the trigger right now! But, seeing as how that bug is there, and it's a hit or miss on who encounters it, I'm feeling hessitant about upgrading until that bug is exterminated. I rely on that and love that feature.
That being said, I have 3 quick questions.

Is it just my fat fingers, or does anyone else have trouble getting 3-finger swipes left and right to work on the iPhone 4S? Any tips for making it easier?

Dear all,
Could you please post the entry '32 Apps to Help You Get Started with a New iOS Device' on the blog again? I cannot find that helpful post now. Many thanks!

So someone that I know just updated to iOS 13 with an iPhone 6S. voiceover keeps telling her use 3D touch for home screne action. How does she disable this so VO doesn't keep saying it?

Hi there,
About a year back, my friend had to get rid of his cell carrier due to expenses. He's been using iMessage to text to other iPhone users with no issues; until recently where it stopped working.
I think that he would need to reactivate his iMessaging service, but he can't do that without having SMS support; which would mean getting onto a cell plan again; which he can't afford right now.
Is there a 3rd party texting app that works well with voiceOver and Siri? I've done a bit of Googling, but haven't come up with much.
Thanks,

4 on demand app
This app is now inaccessible with voice over. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Everyone’s excited about the doors the innovative Hooke Verse will open up as it's the first wireless Binaural stereo Bluetooth Microphone set of its kind. But has your mind walked down the path of unspoken possibility?
FREEDOM!
We all remember that scene from the movie Braveheart right? Brave souls, going where none had gone before them, and now, with the lack of wires, our hooke, can go, where we dare, not.

hi all,
with the 4square ap, how can you make your own checkin points? for example, if i'm at either my house or a friends house?

Hello,
I have received a donation for a blind teen of limited means.
This donation is enough to either by the iPhone 5S with 32GB and 4 hours of VO traning, or an iPhone 6 with 16GB.
I'm willing to donate the training time myself, but I'm still debating the storage space vs. the better processor.
With 16GB she will be struggling to make space on the phone all the time, deleting things to make space for new apps and media.
With the 5S she'll suffer from lag, especially once IOS 9 comes along in half a year.

Hello,
I have a 5s. The last month or so I notice it will reboot a few minutes after plugging it in. This doesn't happen every time but sometimes. As far as I know it only happens once during the charge cycle but sometimes not at all. I plug my phone into AC when charging it. I'm wondering is this a 9.2 issue do you think or something hardware related?
Thanks

I have not installed 6.0 on my 4s phone yet , but 6.01 shows it is ready to be installed under settings. Can I really install it without 6.0 installed?

6.1.2 available to download. It points out Microsoft Exchange bug fix. I'm not sure if any accessibility fixes... I'm sure AppleVis will point that out

I am having issues with not being able to flick to the right to scroll down a list. On various apps such as banking, shopping, and book lists, I can only scroll down to a certain point even though there are more on the list. Am I doing something wrong or is there a new gesture on IOs 9
or the 6s that I don't know about? I am trying to rule out the possibility that I may have a defective phone. I just purchased it last week. Thanks

My 7.03 update on my IPod Touch 5 caused it to go into recovery mode. A friend of mine also had a problem--fortunately, we were able to get hers working w/just a reset. Any1 else have any experiences?

Does anybody out there know of a 7Z extractor for iOS? There is a file I wish to get but I cannot get it because I have no apps that extract 7Z. Free ones are preferable because I don't have any cash in my account.

I figured this would make for an interesting discussion.

Hi all. This just came to me while i was reading a book. Does the iPhone have anything set in place where if you need to you can call 911 quickly? I mean as I understand it, and happy to be mistaken, you have to unlock, open phone and either dial it, or find itin your contacts. I'm sure using Siri you can say Call 911 but because I'm not getting the five I don't have that option. Just asking for the sake of asking.
