First off, let me start by saying sorry if this has been posted here before. My brailleaense is getting harder to us with the braille display of the unit seeming to get worse every time I try to turn it on. I used the braillesense for everything, from writing documents, to reading books. And while I've found a solution to writing documents using my IPad, but I haven't been able to find a solution that will let me read books from bookshare. I've tried voice dream reader, but I don't like to have the book read out all in one chunk.
iOS and iPadOS

is there a way to read BRF/braille files on iOS without having to use a braille display? I know there used to be an app, but I think it's gone.

I cannot find an App that I can use to store non important passwords that will read capital letters when re-reading a password. I have tried Notes, Pages and Access Note. What I mean is if I save a password into text it says which letter is a capital one. If I re-read this password at a later date it does not read the capital letter as such. Does anyone know of an App that will do this?

I am writing a lovestory on my iPad. Writing goes fine. The problems I am having is that I need an efficient way to be able to read through what I wrote. Does anyone have any commands that can be used for that? I am writing in Pages.

Recently, I purchased a Yahama mx61 keyboard. There were many knobs, dials, and buttons, yet I knew very well that a menu-driven system would be at its core, and of course I was right. I've worked with these kinds of things before, and i knew that sheer, harsh menu memorizations were the key.

Hi everybody.
So I installed Firefox, so I can get stuff to sync between browsers, my main machine is Windows. If this is different in Safari, do let me know, though obviously I'd like it solved in Firefox, if possible.

Hello!
I hope this is within the scope of appleVis, if not feel free to remove it, but I was wondering, has anyone ever used the website Issuu? Because I want to, there are quite a few interesting things to read on there, but, is there a way to read issuu publications without downloading them first? Because that's the only way I've found, and not all publications are downloadable.
Thanks!

Has anyone else had trouble reading facebook notifications? For a couple of weeks, my app seems to want to pick and choose the notifications it will read and those it won't. It reads notifications telling me when someone likes or reacts to something, and sometimes it reads other comments to posts I'm following. On the other hand, I've noticed that it won't read replies to my comments. When I double-tap, the phone makes the clicking sound, but the phone doesn't open the notification.

Hello AppleVis,
How do I get Voice Over to read German content i German? I can only get it to announce the keyboard and German keys in German, but not content like web content. I'm on an iPhone 7Plus with the latest iOS.

I have at last overcome the problem of chunks of text being skipped when reading an iBook using Voice Over on the small screen of the iPhone 5S. If like me you have been experiencing this then do the following to resolve the issue.
Open iBooks Application.
Open a book in your library.
Select the Appearance Tab which is the 3rd Tab on the top above the book text. A pop-up window opens.. Swipe left to right until you hear scroll view on. Double tap to toggle scroll view off. Now double tap below the pop-up screen to close it.

Hello. I need help, as I am not very knowledgeable about the native books app in iOS. When reading books, I find that the experience is, to say the least, quite bad. What I’m meant by this is, I’m used to reading in the Kindle app, but I decided to give the native books app a shot. So, I start reading by going to chapter 1, then swiping 2 fingers down. Voiceover starts to read. All's fine. Until... It makes the sound voiceover makes when you swipe to a new element on screen, which, per what I can see, is how the books are structured. Needless to say, this is driving me bonkers.

My Windows screen reader has the ability to read the indention of lines and move be curser to lines of the same indentation level. I assume this is not possible with VoiceOver on Ios, but wanted to be sure.

Hello everyone, I am running the latest iOS update on an iPhone 12, and have a major problem using the Kindle app. I am wondering if there is a fix for this. I am using a Mantis Q40, and if I open the app and read, when it automatically pans to the next page, the thumb keys on the Mantis that you use to pan line by line,completely stop working. And I mean throughout the entire iPhone. I have to completely restart the phone to get them to work again. This is a major problem, ans the Kindle app is unuseable at the moment.

I found a recently released book on Amazon Kindle that I really want to buy, but the product page says text to speech is not enabled. Before I try to buy this book, I want to know the answer to this question. Can I still read the book using VoiceOver on my iPhone, even if TTS is not enabled? Or the Amazon Echo, for that matter? Is that feature for all devices or just for Kindle tablets?

Earlier today I got the nfb braille monitor on my iPod touch. When I tried reading it, the iPod said the message could not be displayed because a problem repeatedly occured. I had to go to gmail in safari and read it that way. Is this a bug with apple mail that it cannot read big emails such as the braille monitor and other monthly magazines?

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knew of a way that you can read ms office word documents using an iPad three. For example when using iPhone I can open an attachment in an email as a Word document and even though I cannot edit it I can still read the content of it. I was just wondering if there was a similar way to do this on the iPad? Thank you

I'm looking for a better way to read Kindle books through the IOS app using a bluetooth speaker. Voiceover is unreliable for me, as my speaker wants to keep VO on the phone and only play music or similar audio. Is there another way to make this work beyond multiple steps and Voice Dream?
I'm aware that sighted folks are using speak screen somehow to play their audio. But I'm not sure how to make that happen as a VO user. Would that work? Is there any other idea I'm missing?

For those of us who struggle to have Voiceover read a password as you type it into a secure text field. I found a work-around to read aloud my password, as I type it
Open a new Apple note, type in your password, which VoiceOver will read out loud as you type your password, then open the Voiceover rotor to use Text Selection to select only your password, make sure that only your password is selected and that nothing else, is selected, including any spaces before and after your typed password, then copy the selected text.
