First time posting here and would like thoughts on Apple dictation. I found some past posts but curious about current thinking. I use dictation when on the go, mostly for text messages and have an iPhone 11. I've found that Apple's dictation accuracy has gone downhill badly in the last couple of years. I try to speak slowly and clearly, but it puts commas in the wrong places, ends sentences prematurely, writes out correctly what I said and then spontaneously changes it to something inane, and appears to like Old English, i.e. it likes to substitute hast for has.

Hello.
I have an iPad and an iPhone. I have seven movies on my iPhone because I don’t have the space on my iPad to play them.
Is there a way to play the movies from my iPhone to my iPaad?

As we all know the meaning of the magic tap (double tap with two fingers) depends on context. Its default behaviour (when not in e.g. a call or in an input with a keyboard that has dictation) is to launch music playback. That's exactly what I would like to disable. The reason: sometimes the touch screen unavoidably misinterprets gestures and takes my exploratory single finger touch as a magic tap and thusthe phone begins to play some random music at a quite high volume. It's not so nice and is definitely a nuisance if it happens e.g.

Hello. I've had this question for a very long time. It seems like I can never read text messages character by character even if I go to the rotor and choose characters. Where I would find this most useful would be when ISPS or email services send verification codes to type back to them. It seems like I can't read it as in an edit field. I always have to choose the email option to receive verification codes. I just finished upgrading to the iPhone 11 and I had to add in my email addresses and change some pass words so this would have been a handy feature. Any ideas on this?

I'm certain the answer is no but am asking anyway. Is there a way to reduce feedback from Voiceover? Not punctuation but other things like for instance when I reply to an text using iMessage Voiceover says "message, text field is editing, character mode, imessage, insertion point at start". That is way too much information to hear each and every time I go to type.

I've just subscribed to an app on a yearly basis. However, I don't want it to automatically renew as I might have found an alternative by then. The only option seems to be to cancel the subscription. I am concerned if I do this I will lose access to the pro features of the app not to mention waste my cash. I am sure there used to be way to prevent auto-renewal. Advice welcome. Thanks.

I am an active gamer and I am having problems playing portrait mode games because the new gestures are getting in my way all the time. I only have my iPad because it will take some time before I can get a new phone. Is there a way to turn off the new gestures? Especially Crafting Kingdom and Blindfold games and Adventure to fate are giving me a hard time.

I have just discovered that The world of comic books is very interesting. I finally got the dark horse comics mainly based on the predator universe are very much worth reading. I would like some advice as to how someone can get a hold of comic books. How someone can read them. And if there are any applications that are best suited for this. Basically I want to start reading comics. How do I do it? I think you all very much for the help and I appreciate this community.

Does anyone know of any accessible iPhone apps, or websites on Safari that have a virtual Bingo Card?
I do not want Blindfold Bingo. That’s an actual game. I’m going to a get together this holiday season, and we need to bring our own bingo cards to play.
I cannot use large print bingo cards, because I cannot see enough. or braille bingo cards, because my hands are numb from carpal tunnel.
I need an app or a website that tells me when I select one of the numbers. And if it makes a sound or a pop-up when I get a bingo.
Thanks for any help!

Hi
I wondered if anyone has tried a genealogy app and found it relatively accessible? Based in the UK, I've been looking at "Ancestry" and "Find my Past". I know that there will be plenty of old documents that I'll probably need sighted help with but I'm interested to find out how much accessibility these type of apps for visually impaired users have, For things like family tree building and looking at old census etc.
Is it worthwhile downloading on my phone or iPad?
Thank you

Hello everyone.. Is there an application that which can help us to read manga on iPhone? You know? I like some stories like Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc. I think that will be great if there is a manga reader that supports voice over, so that the blind person can enjoy reading their favourite manga episode.. Thanks for your respond..

HI all,
Does anyone know of an accessible Monopoly board game for iOS?
I know of really cool Monopoly games for the iPhone and iPad but they are not accessible with VoiceOver.
Ideally I'd love one that allows multiplayer with other iOS users.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know about an accessible Python interpreter for iOS?
I see several possibilities in the app store, but they do not seem to be free, so I want to make sure I purchase something that will be VoiceOver accessible.
Thank you!

I got a nice Visio LED LCD TV for Christmas. It is the first TV I've had that includes Smart TV functions. I've already gotten sighted help to set the TV up with my Netflix and Amazon Instant accounts, but I can't access them myself.
