iOS and iPadOS

I've been searching for the quantization settings within Garageband on the IPad for a while. They are in a different place than in the IPhone version. doubletap on the tracks button, doubletap on the track you want to quantize. Mixer settings will show the the left of the tracks, (you can choose to show or hide) The quantization settings are actually within the mixer settings. They are not however, in what I'll call the quick settings to the left of the tracks. Closer to the top of the screen is a mixer icon that you can doubletap and a popup will appear.

Hey guys,
I'm having trouble trimming sounds on the sampler, in fact, I can't even trim sounds in the sampler.
So, when trying to trim in the sampler, there are two handles, right?
Ok, so VoiceOver pronounces them as Left Resize Handle and Right Resize Handle.
I want to trim my sounds from the beginning and i try to drag the left handle, but VO gives me no feedback as to how I'm dragging the handle.
So any tips?
Thanks.

Hello everyone!
Since I'm new here, I thought I'd begin with a very brief paragraph of introduction: My real name is Felix, I'm from Germany, I work as software developer in assistive technology, and I'm blind. I'm a huge fan of a lot that Apple has done, and is doing, accessibility-wise. It's great to be here, and I hope I'll be able to both contribute and learn a lot while being here.

Hi all, I had no intention of "upgrading" to iOS 17, but I woke up with the phone upgraded for whatever reason and am now stuck with it.

It seems like there are many issues with 17, but I wanted to ask about garbled Voiceover voice when selecting items. It seems like there is a very brief skip, crackle, or garble whenever a new item is selected, whether by clicking around the screen or by swiping left or right. I use the default Samantha voice. It's really driving me crazy, has anyone found any workarounds or solutions for this? Is it a known bug?

Hey all,
Are there any gardening apps for the The iPhone?
I want to start some potted plants, but not sure quite how to do it. Although any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

I was wondering: how good is the text-to-speech in Garmin Street Pilot? I heard it wasn't good. I used Garmin Street Pilot On Demand and the TTS wasn't good. Also, can you change voices in Garmin? Thanks.

I was thinking of installing the Gateway Gadget app from www.biblegateway.com and was wondering if anyone had tried it out. I really like the website. As a jaws user, I find it easy to navigate. I know that $0.99 isn't very much money. I am just curious to see if anyone has this app and if it is accessible with VoiceOver.

Just wondering if anyone has tried the new third party keyboard from Google called GBoard. Here is a link in the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gboard-search.-gifs.-emojis/id1091700242?mt=8 I'm wondering how accessible it is and if it has any advantages over the standard keyboard that might be enjoyed by visually impaired folks. Sounds intriguing. --Pete

Who can tell us all about the new gemstones and cards feature in trivia crack? I have a vague idea but so far whenever I click on anything there are no results. I know you have to collect a lot of different gemstones and cards…
I'm almost sure this new feature is the reason it keeps crashing so frequently, they didn't do the voiceover part correctly.

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to this community, and have been searching for topics like this. Please forgive me if I am duplicating something that has already been discussed.

I wanted the title to be as broad as possible. This may be a thread where everything related to speech synthesizers and TTS, from questions and problems to suggestions and available/newly-released voices/engines, is posted. So I have two questions:
1. I already have eSpeak-NG and RHVoice on my iPhone but can anyone list all the available third-party TTS engines? New ones may be added to this list as they're released. And does anyone know whether DecTalk will be ported to iOS?

I know, this issue affects maybe a very small ammount of folks in the community, but it would be very helpful, if I could get a good advice for our problem.
Well, my first iPhone was the iPhone 4S and since then, i used the enhanced Anna voice under Voiceover which is a German voice.
In the following years, some pronouncing adjustments has been done to improve the pronouncing quality and the voice quality in general. I get very well with the Anna voice and had no issues til IOS 18 was released.

Hello all, hope you're doing well. During a zoom call yesterday I was told that voiceover users can do a 3 finger swipe right or left to mute/unmute their microphone during acall. This gesture seems to work for some but not for all of us. Is this a thing? Does the 3 finger swipe right/left mute or unmute your microphone during a call

Hello, all,
In voiceover 2 finger flic left and right are already asigned, I'm not intirelysure what it does though...
Anyway, Is there any way they can be asigned to track navigation in some whay maybe automations or activities?
Most of my earbud have track navigation control, but not in the car and it's annoying to stop the music just so I can swich tracks, It's not as seemless as it could be?
Thank you.
Regards:
Melissa Cox.

I had a bug when ios 18 first came out where the gesture I used to jump to the status bar weren't working. It seemed to be fixed in ios 18.01, but now that I've updated to ios 18.1, it's back, and work-arounds aren't helping.
I tried restarting my phone, and I tried assigning a different gesture, but no luck.

Anyone else notice this?

Hi All, not sure if anyone has found or posted about this. Since IOS10 it is extremely hard to reply direct to a message notification from the locked screen. Actually it doesn't work. However, I've found a workaround. When you get the notification flick down to more. Double tap. This is where the edit box should come up but doesn't. However, if you use the rotor and go to vertical navigation then flick down a couple of times it takes you into the edit box. Type your message as normal flick right and the send button appears. Well it works for me. hth
