AppleVis family I need your help!!
Amazon released a new update to the Kindle iOS app Oct. 24th. It is again not accessible. The labels are marked . However, books are still not accessible. I wrote Jeff Bezos a letter telling him I will no longer support Amazon. I am not asking you to boycott them. I am however asking my AppleVis family to post their frustrations on this thread. I would like to send it to Amazon. Will you please take a moment to post. This could benefit us all. Thank you for your time.

Hi all. I’ve been using and loving the Kindle app since 2013 and haven’t encountered any major issues, until now. Since updating the app earlier this week, (version 6.9), I’ve had a lot of trouble reading books with VoiceOver. The reading experience isn’t nearly as smooth as it’d been previously, with choppy speech and weird breaks between words and sentences. I thought this might be a font or formatting issue, but I fooled around with the display settings and tried several different books and keep getting the same results. I’m running the latest version of iOS on an iPhone SE.

Hey,
Not sure if this is really the right forum, but it's happening on my iPHone too so...
Alexa has something called assistive reader which reads out kindle books on alexa devices as well as apps, such as audible or the amazon alexa app. It's great for reading books that don't have a audio book version... Wehn it works.
I'm currently trying to listen to a book but it seems to be stopping after one page without continuing. I've turn the option off and on in the alexa app > more > settings > accessibility, but the issue remains.

I'm reading a book on Kindle for iOS that contains numbers in the text that are links to specific points in the References section of the book. When I activate a link, which Kindle calls footnotes, there's no problem. It's getting back to where I was that gives me trouble. There's no toolbar or anything else on the screen that Voiceover can detect for me to use to return to my place in the main text.

I purchased a Kindle book called the musical magic by Richard and Robert Sherman. It is a picture book with text as well. But, I don't see any way to back out of this book and get back to the list of library books I have purchased from Kindle. the back button is dimmed. I'm guessing its a problem with the inaccessibility of this book. I'm using the latest Kindle version with iOS 10 and an iPhone 6s. Does anyone have suggestions? I can wait for a sighted person to visit and then have him get me out of it but, I'd rather do it my self. Thanks!

hi to all, is it just me, or is reading with kindle these days, using voiceover a less than intuitive experience? For example when i read using voiceover, words>e space out for example es pecially when i am enjoying a novel, and "not in part icular words are read, with spacing between the 2 halves of a word so reading be comes dis jointed. as you can see from that above paragraph, although i exagurated a little, the reading sounds choppy and difficult to comprehend. also, sometimes, at the end of pages, it is like the words are hyphenated, when really they are not.

Hi all!
I have an iPod touch 4Th generation and have the kindle app loaded. When I start continuous reading it does fine for a few pages then it skips a page ;and I have to manually go back to the page it skipped. Is anybody else having this problem?. And is there any way to turn off that irritating little page turn noise?
I've looked for answers to these two questions but have not found anything.
Thanks,
Jim

I just downloaded the update to the Kindle IPhone app. It claimed to have accessibility improvements. I had the "believe it when I see it" attitude, but I'm amazed to report that not only can I see my books in the library, I can read them!!!!! I think Christmas has just come in May!

Hello Everyone,
Today I tried out a new church and they had a women's Bible Study Group. I do have questions about youversion reading plans on the bible app, but I'll get to that in another topic.
One of the things the women are doing this month is purchasing a book to read as a devotional. They said the book was on amazon, and it was also on IBooks. I searched for it on IBooks and found it with ease, so I lean more towards the IBooks app, partly because I have been using it for months now.
I just wanted to gather some oppinions.

Anyone know if there is a King James Bible that is easy to navigate on the iPhone?

I just bought the KNFB Reader a couple of days ago. I would be in love with it, even using it on my pitiful iPod Touch 5g it gives very good results. If not for the fact that when I use the Field of View report it crashes the app about 75 percent of the time, I'd be on OCR cloud nine right now. I'm totally blind, and that feature is a requirement for me.
I first blamed myself and/or my poor little iPod Touch 5G, but ti does the same on an iPhone 5C, and on an iPad Mini 2.

I just got a new phone yesterday and am in the process of setting it up. I went to use KNFB Reader to do a scan of an envelope I got in the mail. I had to resort to Prismo. I wonder if KNFB Reader is usable with IOS13? I updated the phone to 13.3 yesterday as well.
Thanks for any help

I am using firmware 10.1 on my iPhone 7 plus. What are the best settings for the camera to get the best results? Can the camera's "portrait mode", which is supposed to bring out the foreground and reduce the background, be used to produce better OCR? If so, how is it used? Thanks.

My son whos nearly 14 will be having an IPAD Air 2 for Christmas. We are thinking of getting him the KNFB Reader App. We are located in the UK.
I'd like to hear from yourselves with your views on this App, if you already have it & use it, any tips, is it worth the money etc etc.
Thank You

I got the new I Phone 6s on Friday and set it up as a new user to make sure it was a clean starting point. One of the first apps I put on the phone was KNFB reader. When I take a picture of a document, the app freezes up and the back button does not work. The only way I can get out of it is to close it in the app switcher. Than the next time I try to take a picture it resprings to the home screen. I have no problem running it with I O S 9 with my 5S, so I think it is device specific. Is anyone else having this problem with the 6S or 6S plus?

I've read that i can try the KNFB reader before buying the app. However, i don't find the download link for this in the app store. How do i get the trial version?

This is really strange. I can no longer find the Knfb Reader app listed in the US app store. A search on my iPod touch 5G turns up nothing, and iTunes from my computer actually says the app is currently not available.
Anyone know what's going on?
