I wondered if anyone has experience of the latest version of this app. There is a review on this site, but there appears to have been a number of version updates since that review. Being that it costs £3.99, I'd like to be reasonably certain it is still accessible, given that so many apps wind up being inaccessible following updates.

Hi all,So I've been using UK Siri female for ages and yesterday I was happily using my phone when it changed. I turned Voiceover off to allow my partner to look at some maps using my phone, but when it restarted the UK Siri female voice sounded markedly different. It doesn't sound like the compact voice, but it's annoyingly different in several ways. For example, it's a bit choppy now (so it will say insp ire instead of inspire, for example), it also pronounces phone as phoned and is generally irritating. I have no idea what to do to get the old voice back, or if this is even possible.

Hi, can anyone suggest a replacement Bus App for me as my favoured London Bus app apparently will not work with IOS11. I ham trying out Traveline GB and Bus Checker but nither of these are consistant in finding the nearest stops to me.
I suspect I may be missing something so if anyone has experience with these 2 alternatives can they advise me on how to focus them to find the nearest stops to where ever I may be at the time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to learn how to play ukulele, and I'm wondering if there are any accessible apps on ios that could help me with this? Lessons, tuners, etc. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Can anyone please help?
I frequently use the application ultimate guitar to find out guitar chords and lyrics which voice-over reads out excellently.
unfortunately, in the last week with a new update it refuses to read out any lyrics or chords as it has done before.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

Sometimes, when using the on-screen keyboard to type into a text field with VoiceOver on, I am unable to switch to the numeric keyboard. When I tap the Numbers key, it seems to insert a space rather than switching keyboards. This can make it impossible to sign in to a website or app if I've used numbers or special characters in my userid or password. I have reported this to Apple. Have any of you encountered this?

using iOS 14, I tried accessing my passwords in native settings, and it claims that my passwords are empty, then I get bounced back into the main settings screen. Furthermore, I noticed, when trying to enter my password in Acorns, that it was not doing the password sound when you enter it in on the screen, but when I look at it, Voiceover is speaking what I entered out loud. Um, Okay? Anyone else noticing this?

Hello,
I'm trying to activate wy fy calling on my IPhone, I'm not able to do so because the check boxes that you have to check to agree to the terms will not work with voiceover. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

Hello
I have been trying to create some shortcuts on Ios 13 with the latest shortcuts app and am finding that I can't add all of the information to actions to make my shortcuts work.
For example, if I try to create a simple shortcut with one action to send a message to a contact, I cannot see how to add the message and the contact name to the action after adding it to the shortcut. I can find no actions on the Voice over rota to do this and can not find any other fields to enter this information.

Hi there,
I recently downloaded lire. I listened to the podcast that dealt with lire, and I went to add a subscription, and I taped on add subscription, and was put in a search box. I didn't see any catagories at all.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem, and could offer any advice?
Thanks,
Chris

I'm trying to help someone who can't adjust the speaking rate of his VoiceOver voice. He has tried restarting the phone and using different voices but the speaking rate slider has no effect on the rate of speech. We are thinking he probably needs to do a factory reset and maybe a reset all settings but before doing that I'm checking to discover if anyone has experienced a similar problem and found a fix. I know he has sought help from Apple support and they have no alternative recommendation.

Well, the so called accessibility team at facebook has done it again. I can no longer close out videos rather they are live or just in general, what is happening is when I try to close a video it just keeps toggling the video controls and the close button. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hello,
I'm not able to complete the checkout process via the amazon app. I can select my shipping address how ever now there's another button you have to click on that confirms that you want that address which does nothing with voiceover. A friend of mine turns vo off and taps and then turns vo back on again to get around it, however I tried it and I always end up on another screen. Does anyone know if amazon is going to fix this issue in a future update? If they are all about accessibility like people claim they are then I think they need to fix this issue asap.

I have a brand new iPhone 5 with IOS 6.2 (according to what voiceover tells me). I am unable to reach the delete button in edit mode to delete a contact. I found an earlier guide for an earlier version of IOS that gave a work-around for this, but I cannot seem to get it to work on my iPhone 5. No matter what I do, I never hear the "delete contact" button. I am a brand new iPhone user, and being about 60 years old, it seems to be a steep learning curve, ha! Also, I am brand new to posting, find navigating a little confusing, so if I get any answers to this problem, I hope I can find them!

in 18.1, for some reason, messages are not showing up as being deleted after I attempt to delete them. Now, I am using the latest beta of 18.1, so not sure if that might be an issue. But I decided to do a bit of clean up of my messages, and even though VoiceOver tells me message was deleted, and will be deleted from all devices, the bloody deleted message sthill shows up either in unred messages or all, as well as unknown and known filters. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi all,
I have a new iPhone 13 mini running IOS 15.1. I am able to answer a call with a 2-finger double tap. How do I disconnect a call? I do a 2-finger double tap and the gesture works and sometimes it does not.

Hi,
So I am unable to get the Alex voice on iOS 13.5. For some reason the alex voice is just a text, it's neither a button nor dimmed, nor anything like it.
Has anything like this happened to you guys?
I really love that voice... :(

I use the Australian male voice or voice 1 as it's otherwise known. It is my default voice. The other day, I put my phone down and when I picked it up to use again, I found it wasn't using my preferred Australian male siri voice, it had switched to the Karen voice instead.
