I downloaded the free Instapaper app and created an account after listening to the recent Lire podcast. When I pressed browse, several articles appeared and more are added each day. I did not choose Instapaper to save articles to from Lire. How do I delete the articles in browse without a Voiceover button?
Since I download articles on Lire with wifi and star the ones I want to read later, is there a reason to keep and use Instapaper?
Just wondering if it possible to do this (brackets optional):
-when I plug my iPhone into CarPlay
(and it is after a certain time - say 5pm)
-Voice Dream would read out a specific note from my Evernote database?
(Use case: trying to get an automated system to read out my reminders when I'm driving home from work)
Hello,
I was just was wondering if anyone had encountered this before? I saw on the uber accessibility website that there will be more deaf uber drivers on the road. Although I believe this is a good thing, I'd like to hear some strategies on how a blind person could interact with a deaf driver. thanks!
Hi all, I'm having a small problem interacting with tables when I use the app Pages. I use a braille display and am able to select a cell and type in the cell, but am not able to move to the next cell once done typing. Is there a command or feature using the rotors that can help me with this problem?
Thanks,
I'm a legally blind developer and app user. As I was reading a post on this forum regarding emoji, I realized that I've been very frustrated with the state of GIFs and stickers on iOS. Many of thee new sticker apps don't have good VoiceOver labeling and/or just don't work well with VO. Even Apple's own built-in GIF search added in iOS 10 doesn't do anything in the way of accessibility for describing the content.
Much of it may be more applicable to somebody with low vision versus blindness, but there is some mention of VoiceOver:

Hi all. I noticed that if you have the roter set to "language", only having set United states and english as your region and language something strange happens. I can confirm this with alex, so I'm curious. If you flick up or down, Samantha speaks something like: "English U.S. 200" I have no idea why it happens, has anyone ever had this? It's by no means a deal braker just something I wanted to ask. Thanks.
So I've encountered a very interesting bug that did not occur in 5.11 but does in 6. Say you're in a phonecall using the earpeice and want to turn vo off or even just go to your homescreen. On my phone, when I hit home once, my phone goes to speaker and it will not accept any other presses of home except maybe launching the app switcher. When on speaker phone, tripple click and double click home work as expected. Can anyone confirm this? I spoke with Apple accessibility and the engineers claim they can't duplicate it. Can someone please confirm or deny this bug?
Thanks!
Just an interesting difference I have spotted since updating to iOS seven: I have an IMAP email account. Under the old Ios the iPhone would only download the most recent 50 messages. Under iOS seven, it appears to download everything and there doesn't appear to be a setting to change this. I'm not that bothered, except that this account has over 3000 messages on it and I don't want to use unnecessary space up. I'm not entirely sure why it's necessary to download the whole lot anyway. Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
So i was scrolling on facebook just now and went in to a group post to comment. I noticed a new feature called Switch Actor. Never seen this before and I had to spell it letter by letter to make sure I heard that right. Anybody seen it or tried it? Just was wondering.
I'm fooling around with print maps again, and this time I printed out a map after flipping it in the Photos app, then inserting it into a Pages document to make a mirrored image. This is so I can get a sighted person to trace the lines of the map with a ballpoint pin on a drawing board to make it tactile. It has names and numbers on it, but I only care about the lines at this time.
Voice over recognizes the image, both in Photos and Pages, as a map and tries to read a bunch of gibberish, I assume because it is backwards.
How do you interrupt voiceover? My example is: I double tap to have a song to start playing, and VO says song title, how long it is, and then button. By the time all that information finishes, the song is playing. How do you stop all that if you don't need the information? On the computer when screen reader gets too chatty, tapping the control key stops it. Thanks in advance.
Am looking for suggestions. Need a iOS timer app for someone who is visually impaired and quadriplegic. Person needs a subtle reminder every 15 minutes, throughout the entire day. Person uses voice over as their access. Looking for something they can turn on at the beginning of the day and turn off at the end of the day, independently. Also looking for something that just has a short beep at the 15 minute interval, then resets automatically, throughout the day.
