Hi all, I am pleased to announce that as of today, the developer of ThumbJam has added a section on the user forum for Voiceover users. This section is called "Use with Voiceover", and you can access it by clicking on the following link: http://www.thumbjam.com/forum/12 I think this will be a great way for us blind and visually impaired ThumbJam users to learn new things and share our experiences. I've been playing with ThumbJam for a while, and I know I've still got a lot to learn and discover.

Hi. I discovered new english india voices and one of them works, though I suspect it is compact, but the Siri voices don’t work for VO when I double tap them nothing happens. I have tried the male voice with Siri and that works. Is there a workaround?

Hi everyone, hope you're doing well and staying safe :)
I'm currently using apps to listen to Internet radio like Triode and TuneIn.
However, I'm wondering if there's any newer more up-to-date or fresher apps that I should be aware for Internet radio, thanks for your help with this everyone and I can't wait to hear your recommendations :-)

I have read from some very very disgruntled people on Twitter that the newest update to the Lyft app breaks accessibility and you can not find the button to actually summon Lyft for a ride. I am using an IPhone 8+ and my operating system is up to date, 12.something.something I can never remember. Anyone experienced troubles like this in the newest update? The app store is nagging me to update but I don't obviously want an app I depend on constantly not to work. Thanks in advance.

Hey all!
I decided to download the news app by Savvy & try it. And it looked ok. But, when I tap the add button, it says there's a categories heading, but no categories are listed. I get a search field that I can type in, but when I hit search nothing happens. Any & all help would be apfheciated! Thanks in advance! :)

I've been using the Apple News app a lot recently. I've discovered after reading many stories that Voice Over suddenly starts to abruptly stop and start mid speech very frequently. Initially exiting the app and going back sorts it. Eventually it affects the whole phone. Turning Voice Over off and back on doesn't work. I have to reboot my phone. I'm running an iPhone 6 on IOS9.2 with Daniel UK voice. When it occurs I tried switching to Alex and the Irish HQ voice but the same thing happened. Anyone else experienced this? I haven't reported it yet.

Hi all!
iOS 9.1, iPhone 5s. Native News app stopped updating some of my feeds, I deleted all of them and tried to add them again, but search became unavailable. iOS 9.2 did not solve this problem.
Has anyone encountered that?
Thanks, Felix

This is exactly why I always wait to install new updates until I feel they work out the accessibility kinks. I thought we were there with iOS 14.3 but evidently not. I’m especially frustrated because many in this very forum encouraged me to update it, saying many accessibility bugs were fixed. That may be true, but within minutes of the update I’m already finding one of my most used apps much harder to use.

Hey Guys,
I have noticed something recently while reading articles on my iDevices. Some big name tech blogs and newspapers are including their own built -in screen readers. It stops your default voice over choice, and new voice takes over to read that specific article. For instance; I know that CNET articles do this.
While I truly do appreciate the effort some of these companies are taking. I find some of the voices excruciating. Very whiny and synthesized. Is their a way to keep these voices from taking over for my default selection, while reading that article.

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the MacHash News app. I have been using Newsify, an RSS reader for a while now.
I just want to see what the community thinks about this topic?
Is MacHash better to use than Newsify?

Hi,

I recently downloaded this app.
I have subscribed to four or five fees several times but each time several hours later when I go back in to the app for updated content the fees have disappeared.
I have been in to settings and ticked the sync with iCloud and don't delete read posts but with no joy.
Also where it says you can purchase the pro version, the button do buy is dimmed.
Anyone else having issues with this app?

I am using the iPhone6 and iPad Mini with retina display if this makes any difference.

Kind regards

Graham

I recently installed the app for guideposts magazine to try to read an issue I did not receive in Braille. The Guideposts app is accessible. However, part of the newsstand app is not accessible. I was able to purchase the magazine I wanted to read but voiceOver did not read the magazine when I was in view mode. i have heard the newsstand app is not accessible to read magazines. Has apple been contacted about this problem? Thank you.

I am wondering if there are any newsstand apps that are VoiceOver-accessible, or if the technology empoloyed for newsstand apps is inherently inaccessible? I have tried from time to time with certain local publishers that offer newsstand papers on iOS but so far, every single experiment I did so far failed. It was possible to buy items, but the content was never readable. Is this a generic problem, or is it related to how the content providers create their content for iOS?

yesterday I contacted the developers of Vokul.  I told them what a  great app Vokul is and how well it works with VoiceOver.  I also mentioned a few features that would be niceto see such as email dictation, facebook status dictation,  reminders and alarms.  I also asked aboutthe data usage of the app because I have a limited dataplan.  Below is the email I got in response.  He mentioned some bugs with VoiceOver which I haven't experienced.  If you have noticed any I would be curious to know what they are. Thanks.
