When trying to read an e-Book on the Play Books app on my iPhone, I do the two finger swipe down for continuous reading. However, Voice Over stops reading at the end of the page and I need to manually move to the next page with a three finger swipe left and then swipe down with two fingers to restart reading. Unlike with the Kindle app where pages are turned automatically and continuous reading is uninterrupted. Is there a way to have pages turned automatically in the Play Books for uninterrupted reading? Thanks. Barbara

<p>Hi everyone. Does anyone know of an accessible google plus ap for voice over users. I've seen a ap for google plus but others have said that the ap is not blind friendly. Any ideas?</p>

I use the I phone 4s, and I have the Google plus app on my phone and I'm having trouble figuring out where the add to circles button is and when I click on that button once I find it I have no indication that the button has been clicked after the tapping sound.
Is there anyway to have this fixed?

Where can i find my notifications on the google plus app? It seems that i have a couple of notifications, but i dont know where to find them, as a few buttons are not labelled. Any help would be much appreciated!
Google should seriously do something to make their apps more accessable!

For the last week I have been using the google podcast player. It is much easier to navigate then the IOS native app. The issues I have found with it so far are: the search button tries to hide on the top of the page, and oddly enough sometimes all available episodes are not listed. It's now my preferred app for podcasts.

Hello, All.
I just read a post about the lack of accessibility in the Google Maps app. I would simply like to jump on the Google bandwagon to ask why they have neglected to lable most of the buttons in the Google Search app. Granted, I love the app and use it more than I do Siri for searches, but most of the buttons are unlabled. this really is inexcusable. I hope Google is not operating under the notion that labeling the "Voice Search" is sufficient for people who are blind with regard to accessibility for people who are blind or have low vision.

Hi,
Has anyone used google search app? It says you can do reminders and stuff on the iphone, but when I try it just populates the search field? I like google search better then Siri as Siri never will set any location reminders on ios 7.04.

I have an iPhone 6 Plus with IOS 9.3, the latest update. When using VoiceOver through a bluetooth earphone, the sound reverts to the iPhone speaker when I launch the Google search or Google maps apps. This behavior is not new to the latest IOS update, it's been happening to me for some time. Am I missing some setting for the Google apps? Is there a procedure to follow to allow me to continue to hear VO over my bluetooth earphone when I launch these Google apps?
Thanks.

Since updating from IOS 13 to IOS 14.5 I have noticed that google search results don't seem to be marked with h3 tags. The first one in a group will be marked with a heading, but subsequent results show up as links. Tried reporting this to google but they sent me to apple. Any one know of a fix for this? Not being able to scroll through search results efficiently is a pretty big inconvenience.

Hello all, just wondering if anyone’s having this problem. I am currently running the latest software update and I have the iPhone XR. When I go to do a Google search, the word appears in the box but it is not telling me that the word is appearing in the box. This is when using voice over. For example, if I type in the word girl, it is not telling me that this word is appearing in the box. I hope this makes sense. If anyone else is having this problem please let me know.

I've been playing around with the Google Sheets iOS app, and I'm actually pretty impressed with its compatability with VoiceOver. If only the desktop version worked this smoothly ... anyway, I was wondering if anyone would happen to know whether it's possible to manually highlight two or more cells at a time. So far I've only been able to work with multiple cells by selecting an entire row or column, but is there a way I could, for example, highlight cells a3 through a5?

Is there a guide out there to accomplish editing a google slides presentation using VoiceOver? Students in our state are being asked to do this.
Thank you.

Good evening
I'm having a problem with the Google Translate app on my iPhone 8+: When I write text in the text area, I can't create a new line. The on screen keyboard does not have a "return" option to double tap. When I press Enter on a bluetooth keyboard, the text I just composed is read. Double tap to edit it doesn't work either.

Hello, I will be buying an iPod Touch soon. What are some accessible aps for texting and making calls with the Google Voice service? Talkaton and GV connect have both been recommended to me. I also heard that a sip voiceover protocol will also have to be installed. Thank you for your help. I am very new to the Apple touch products.

Hello,
I currently have the non-Pro model of the iPhone 12 with the latest iOS version installed.
I’ve heard that the Pro models offer more accurate navigation. Is that true?
Are there significant differences between the Pro and non-Pro models, particularly in terms of GPS accuracy?
If I were to purchase a Pro model, would it be capable of determining my location with sub-one-meter precision?
Please help me to decide.
Thanks, everyone

Hi all. I work with a lot of blind young people in my job, and recently I have been asked this a few times. What GPS apps do people use? Personally I like the built in Apple maps. I like that I can just see a list of the directions on a route, but for me the big thing that it is missing is information such as, it will say in 100 yards turn left, but it won't say if this is the first left, or the second or third etc.

I just bought an iPhone 5 on eBay. I'm wondering what app or combination of apps comes closest to having the features of the Trekker Breeze. The two features I'm really concerned about is I want the app to be able to record routes like the Breeze does, and I want to be able to record points of interest with my voice. I don't care so much about cost or how much data gets used at this point.
Thanks!
