I wanted to let you all know I found a great use for IOS14.1 voiceover recognition! if I turn it on in Safari, turn off voiceover sounds, and play a Japanese anime video, from one of my favorite anime websites... Normally I cannot watch it, it is all Japanese with English subtitles! well guess what? not anymore, now all those videos are accessible! just turn on screen recognition for Safari, load up a subtitled Japanese anime video, turn off voiceover sounds, sit back and enjoy as voiceover happily reads all the english subtitles to you! I love it love it love it!!
iOS and iPadOS

So I took the plunge, and decided to upgrade to ios 14. So far I like, but I have one question. So far, I only have one widgit on my homescreen. However, each time I pass over said widgit, it automatically opens, for example, I swipe to the widget, and it'll say, battery, widgit, igna's iPhone, and the percentage, if I swipe to the right, it'll announce my other devices battery, the same thing happens when I'm going from right to left.

Good my dears, all right? As my first post here on the Applevis forum, I would like to ask you for help.
It so happened that I had downloaded both Siri voices available for my language, Brazilian Portuguese, in order to choose which of the two would please me the most. When I chose to use the male voice, I decided to remove the female voice to free up space, but Apple didn't allow this possibility.

Hi, all. I've disabled Picture in Picture in Settings, because I don't want it to be active all the time. I'm wondering if there's a way to enable it on the fly in case I might want to listen to YouTube while checking my email, etc.? I've noticed instructions in the user manual for double-tapping the video or tapping on an icon at the top of the app. Is there a Voiceover gesture for this, or is it necessary to toggle it on and off in Settings? Thanks!

Hello O,
I am using an iPhone 8 Plus and I recently updated to iOS 15.
After about six hours my phone has gotten down to about 40%. After being charged to 100% overnight. Is anybody else experiencing battery drain issues with their device?

any good and accessible apps can have the talking clock features?
it is something like announcing the time in every 30 minutes and so on...

This one is driving me crazy, and I'm wondering if it's happening to others running iOS 15. If I go into my recent calls log to initiate a phone call, and double-tap on the name or number of the person I want to call, focus must switch at the last possible second. Because about half the time, I don't call the person whose name or number I double-tapped on. I've also noticed that swiping to delete a name or number from that list often results in placing a call to that person. I've had to start going into Edit to clear those calls, which I never had to do previously.

All right moderators. Sorry if this goes out of the guidelines. But I have a question for everyone
As Metcalf said in his post about the September 14 event. iOS 15 will be coming on September 20. For Australia. That’s just tomorrow. For American users. It will also be tomorrow. But I’m pretty sure you guys are still on early morning Sunday

I'm signed into youtube on ios and have noticed that every time someone uploads or comments voiceover let's me know. The thing is; I don't want it to.
From what I understand in earlier versions of IOS voiceover/youtube notified you but only if you unmuted the phone, now it notifies me every time.
I know I can turn off notifications, in youtube but I don't want that either.

Hi all,
So, I use an app called AnyTrans because I like to have a backup of my IOS texts on my laptop (I'm far too inexperienced with Mac to buy a Mac computer), but sometimes AnyTrans fails me. In that case I have to select each message and copy each one and then paste it into a new email address I write to myself JUST so i can access it on my laptop. THE MOST ANNOYING THING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

Hi all,
I've been searching on how to switch the address bar back to the top in safari, because the address bar at the top... is what i've been used to for years now. While I like the new safari, the address bar at beeing on the bottom is kinda... putting me off, to say the least. How can we as voiceover users change this? Or is this not possible? I've looked at other forums which say that this is possible and how; but I cannot figure it out with voiceover.

Hi
I upgraded to iOS 15.1 yesterday evening and I’m getting an odd issue. Wondering if anybody else is seeing this and if there’s a fix.
When my iPhone (SE 2020 edition), rebooted after the upgrade, I got the following message:
Messages in iCloud not available. Messages in iCloud is not available because iCloud and message accounts are different.
When I go into the iCloud settings, Messages is turned off in my backup settings. When I turn it on again, I get the same message as above and I can’t turn the message backup setting on.

Hi all,
From what I understand and from what I saw from watching videos about the feature, you can basically add your meds umanually, as in entering all the details by yourself, or scanning the label on the medication using the camera.
If you decide to fill in the details manually, then you'll get an search box where you can type the name of the medication and see the search results so you can pick the one you're using.
After then you pick the strength etc.

I've seen that AppleVis has made a fairly favorable review of new accessibility features in iOS 16.
However at the same time AppleVis has retweeted the tweet of the developer of one well-known app who claims that text-to-speech in iOS 16 is unusable (literary that word). He further explains that this comes from highlighting issues.
Those two things appear to be quite in conflict so I'll try to explain this from the technical side as I am also a developer of one such app.

Hi everyone, suddenly VoiceOver started saying "Label element" every time I open any window in iOS 16. For example, opening Settings now VoiceOver says "Label element, Settings, heading". I opened the label element screen by mistake, and now it is as if VoiceOver sees the title of that screen, which however is no longer on the screen. I tried to restore settings without success, what can be done apart from restoring the entire device?
