hello, I'm Neil from India, I purchased text grabber on 4th of march 2014, however I'm not happy with the result that I'm getting from this app. I'm getting an error [failed to auto focus] while scanning any document. For your information my screen curtain is off & brightness is set to 50%. are there any steps which I am missing? am I supposed to make any changes in settings or anywhere else? Kindly guide me for the same. any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hey guys. I have found a few great apps for taking pictures and identifying objects and text. I have also found some great apps for describing pictures in my camera roll. But I was wondering, does anyone know of an app that will read text from my camera roll? For example, if i took a screenshot of a document, is there an app that would be able to read the contents of the document? Thanks!

after upgrading to iOS 17, almost every text message says it has failed. I have to go in and resend them as text messages, and then they usually go through. Has anyone else had this trouble?

I'm having a weird issue with text messaging. When I text someone I don't hear the wooshing sound when I hit send nor does it say delivered, seen, etc. Is this a bug or is something wrong with my messaging app? It appears though my friends are getting them so I guess that's good but I have no indecation they are actually being sent. 5s with 9.3.1

Hi, How do you use the spell checker function in the text messaging app? I would like to know how to cancel a suggestion or to choose an alternative or to add a word to the dictionary. Also, I've set voice over to touch typing mode and I've noticed it takes a while to type a character when I move my finger over it. If voice over says a character and i move my finger straight off, then the character isn't printed. Any suggestions on how to speed up text entry would also be appreciated.

I am on iOs 13. In the oiceover settings there is a toggle button that says text panel on or off. what does it and I would like

When the caption panel is turned on in voiceover, the text read is incorrect. Instead of "savings of 250$" it reads "savings of 50$" for example. Is this a known bug in iOS?

Greetings.

On my iPhone 6, running iOS 8.2, I get a second new text notification 2 minutes after a text arrives.

For example, here is the sequence of events.

Phone is locked.
Text arrives, and I hear the "Ding" and text message details. It says something about New Text message, now.
The phone auto locks and goes back to sleep.
I do nothing.

Then, I will hear, New Text 2 minutes ago, in a second notification 2 minutes later.

This is consistent. Is it also normal?

It seems whenever I select text in iOS 7, I can only select two lines at a time no matter what I do. This has nothing to do with rotor behavior. Quick example. If I do a pinch out once, the first unit of text is selected--lines, words, characters--whatever I have it set to. If I do a second pinch out, the next unit is selected. If I repeat that a third time, VoiceOver repeats the unit I've just selected, and says "unselected". It's maddening indeed to only be able to select two units before deleting, cutting, etc. This is true of my iPhone 5S and my iPad III, both running 7.2.

Hello to everyone,
I read my books in voice dream and use text sellection feature of it friquently. However for some time, I can not sellect text. I use one finger swipe up or down to find the word to start sellecting. however, the text doesn't change. Furthermore, When I tap twice to start sellecting, voice dream sends me to the start of the file and I lose my place.
my device is iphone se 2020, ios 16.0.2 and voice dream 4.15.1. if it helps.

I have the 6S and run on IOS 9.2. I am just noticing when I send a text message I don't get the swoosh confirmation after sending it. I've looked into all settings and couldn't find if there is a way to change it. It's nice to get an audio confirmation of the delivery of your text message. Am I hopeless or is there a way I can change this? Thank you, Jen

A day or so ago, I posted about IOS 10.0 and problems with the size of text in the mail app. I had reported that even if a low-vision user adjusted a desired text (font size) in settings to a desired size, it made little difference in the text size of messages when reading mail. Occasional emails would show up in my desired font size. IOS 10.1 was supposed to have addressed this issue. In my case, not much has changed (I have an IPhone 6).

Hey guys, I have just downloaded a new app that just came out yesterday. It is cold TextDetective, from BlindSight. It is different from other scanning apps, because it is geared for the visually in paired people.

Hi there! I'm Jayson. I'm just wondering if there's Textgrabber app for free and/or another likely app which is same as Textgrabber? What do you know about Talking Goggles, that I read about yesterday? I did not get it to work actually. I had chose correct language, then set the flash on and after that take a picture, but nothing happened.

Good day. has anyone sent SMS text message from an iPad using either wifi or the cellular data plan? If so what apps did you use? Also, phone calls, what apps did you use for that? I am working with a low vision client and since our agency is not able to purchase iPhones I need to find an alternative. WE can purchase the iPad air with a cellular plan. Thanks.

I have a question regarding texting. When texting a shortened number, such as FBOOK, (32665) the phone automatically inserts a dash after the first 3 characters, and the text won't be delivered. Any idea how to fix this problem? Your help is much appreciated!

On the latest ios update has anyone found when texting someone it just puts you in the messages app? For example I tap on a contacts name and tap message and it just puts me in the messages app. I have to scroll and try to find the last text I sent that person to be able to text them again, or I could just have Siri text it but I prefer texting manually.
Is this a bug?

Hi there.
I am a massive text replacement user, and since iOS 12 some of my shortcuts do not expend anymore. It seams like a length problem. The short ones expend but the expression cannot be longer than 100 characters. Does anyone have this?
Cheers,

Thanks to those who responded to my 2 recent questions about upgrading to the latest IOS6.... & concensus on a You Tube app.

I am still not certain about updating to the latest IOS as I am pretty satisfied with how my iPhone 4S is operating right now.
However I don't think I want to jump directly from 6.0 to 7.0 without first updating to the latest 6....
I will give this more consideration.
