iOS and iPadOS

Post Date:

Hello all,
I just replaced iOS 10.3.3 with iOS 11.2 today. Everything I have tested seems to be working well until I tried resuming reading an ebook using the Overdrive app.

Overdrive was working fine with the older iOS but seems to be broken with the latest iOS.
Is anyone here experiencing problems using Overdrive to read ebooks under iOS 11.2?

Hi all,
I have a small problem with audio book volume on the Overdrive app. I hope someone can give me a solution.
Some of the books I get from my local library and from the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB) have their volumes set too low. I tried to got to settings to increase the volume but there is a problem. The settings control in the main menu does not include a volume setting. Also, when in the audio book screen, settings (along with all other controls) such as bookshelf, account etc. do not work when double tapped.

Dear All, I downloaded the Overdrive App a couple of weeks ago and it's great. However, does anyone know how to switch from the e-book search to audio book search? I can't work out how to do it. However, if all books in search are listed and you haveto choose between e-books and audio books, does someone know how to do this? Many tanks, Steve.

Dear All,
The Royal National Institute of Blind People in the UK recently set-up a new library service where it placed over 20,000 unabridged audio books onto an internet web site called rniboverdrive. This new service allows users to either use the Overdrive web site to listen to books on a computer or via the Overdrive Library e-books and audio books app on an iDevice.
Although the Overdrive Library e-books and audio books app is a little clunky, it does work and I can now listen to real author unabridged audio books to my heart's content.

Hello all,After recently installing iOS 9 on my iphone 4s both my Overdrive and Voice Zream Reader apps did not restore correctly. I had to delete and reinstall these apps again to get them working again but I did lose the books that I had loaded. Voice Dream is wirking fine now but Overdrive is being a little more difficult.
I am able to download ebooks without problem but I am unable to read them. It appears that I cannot navigate past the title page of the book. I have tried several books from my library with the same result each time.

There is a book I want to read, it is not available in audio format. I used Overdrive via my county library system to download the ebook to my iPad. I choose the epub version because I knew it was something Voice Dream Reader would recognize. When I open the file my only option I's to open it in Overdrive. Is there way to open it in Voice Dream? Or at the least, can anyone tell me how to turn pages when Voiceover is running and I'm trying to have Voiceover read it to me from Overdrive? Thank you. a

Hi all,

I know Pacemaker isn't natively accessible, but I've heard that it was possible to use with screen recognition?

I'm mainly interested in automix. The Djay Pro Automix AI isn't quite there on the transitions... I don't have any DJ equipment to learn it manually.

Thanks.

Just curious what folks are using to track packages. I’m currently using deliveries and it would be great but it doesn’t tell me anything about my packages getting delivered. It tells me when things get scanned but that’s about it and even that is hit or Miss. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi!
What are your favorite package tracking apps? I really like ParcelTrack, but I'm looking for one that can track Amazon shipments.
Any suggestions?

Navigate to VoiceOver's audio settings and you find a bunch of options to toggle sounds and haptics while a page is loading and when loading completes.
  1. These should be moved to the verbosity section and we should also be able to have spoken feedback for these events.
  2. These settings should apply to third-party browsers as well.
  3. Either we should have a similar option for Mail sync, or these settings should also apply to Mail. It is disappointing that VoiceOver does nothing to indicate that mail sync is in progress or completed.

Hi
I have iPad Pro with latest iPadOS
VO becomes very sluggish when documents are big, big not by far but some 15 pages andd more
When I enable tracking features and create comments it is worse and becomes almost unusable.
Is there any accessible Word Processor aside from Pages that I can use reliably?

Hi all, I updated to ios7 and since then I can't use the rotor to change to word, sentences or characters in the Pages app. The rotor has everything in it to choose except for those options mentioned. If I turn the dial long enough occasionally characters will show up but then disapears again. This problem is there wether I'm in edit mode or not. Dos anyone else have this problem? I'm using an ipad mini and iphone5. Thanks, Fritz

Hello all! I have some questions about Voice Dream Writer and Pages.

Post Date:
Good morning. I have an iPhone 4s and recently installed the Pages app. I was using the resume template the other day. Is there a way voice over wil read each edit field separately? I would also like to remove any information already in the document since it sounds like it is written in another language. I completed the resume and converted it to word. I emailed the resume to a company only to find out the resume could not be read. the unnecessary information was still in the document. i was so embarrassed. I would appreciate any suggestions for using this app.

Good evening. I write novels and take notes for a college student. I've been using a windows 10 laptop, but it is not a good solution for me. can I use the Pages app to write, edit, and share documents using an iPhone or iPad and a braille display? Thank you.

Has anyone found a way to rename documents in Pages using VoiceOver? When VoiceOver is off, you go to Documents, tap the Edit button and tap the name of the document to open up an editor window on the file name. With VoiceOver on, it says "Double tap and hold to enable other actions on item" but it doesn't allow any action other than moving it. You can tap the action button to send a file by email or an on-line document service and you can delete a file by tapping the delete button, but I couldn't rename a file.

I am a serious author and am lookiäg for apps to write books in. Now I have come to Pages and even though I already have a book app I wouldlike to try pages because I love the interface. Which is the best template to be able to do this?

Hi all. I'm doing a little research for someone I'm teaching. We'd like to know which app, Pages or Word is generally most user-friendly with VoiceOver in the creation of research papers. This person is using an iPad exclusively with VoiceOver and a Magic keyboard. Basic editing of text is not an issue. We're wondering about creating an APA-style paper with citations, references, etc. and how those functions behave in each of these two programs.
