I found all my newer bookshare books in the VoiceDream library in iCloud. I've looked on my phone, and I can't seem to find the older stuff, including one PDF file I'd really like to have. Any suggestions?
iOS and iPadOS

Hi everyone. I've noticed when on the phone one voicemail and are prompted to press 2 to listen to messages or 3 to delete VoiceOver remains silent and you can't move around the screen to find the number you want etc. the only way I can do it is to move the phone until its on loud speaker, then it seems to work. Is there a workkkaround without having to go to loud speaker first?

I have a iphone 4 and I need to get a voice message transferred to my computer. Some of the words are distorted, unclear and I really need to be able to hear those words. Is there a way to do this?

I’m having issues playing back voicemails from my iPhone. The message will start to play through the earpiece, then it will play through the speaker, then back to the earpiece… Or sometimes it will just stop playing randomly. The same thing happens when I try to use my AirPods to listen to the message. When I turn off voiceover, it plays back normally. Is anyone else running into this issue? Thanks

Hello everyone, I saw someone mention voicemail transcription under the IOS11 accessibility thread and it reminded me that I have never actually got this to work. I understood it was meant to appear next to the 'more info' button with the voicemail expanded, but I've never seen it. Has anyone else had this problem? If not, could someone please tell me how to work it or point me in the direction of somewhere on this site where it's already been done? It's not a massive issue for me, but it would be nice to be able to have the option sometimes.

Since using VoiceOver I have discovered some four or more finger gestures that I find useful. As far as I can tell these gestures seem to be undocumented by Apple.
Note: Multitasking Gestures have to be turned Off in Settings to use these gestures.
These gestures have only been tested on an iPad. They work fine on a iPad 3rd generation and on an iPad Air, however, on smaller screens using four finger gestures might be more difficult. If anyone would like to try them on an iPhone or iPod please post the results here.
Here is what I have found:

I'm not sure of a better way to describe this.
I open up Photos on my iPhone 11 running iOS 15.1. I then attempt to search through my photos as usual. If I swipe right to get to the list of photos, VoiceOver will suddenly flicker. By this I mean it just stops for a second, then announces "screen curtain on" and puts me back at the top of the photos app.

Hi, a blind iPhone SE user who I am helping to become proficient with VoiceOver is experiencing problems ending outgoing phone calls which I cannot replicate on my iPhone 8. She finds that her iPhone screen sometimes dims during phone calls and that, following this, double tapping with two fingers has no effect, which means that she might leave one of those interminable voice mails. On my iPhone 8 double tapping with two fingers ends calls irrespective of the state of the screen and I've not noticed problems in this area before on earlier phone models.

Hello, does anyone know of a remote support app that will allow a VoiceOver user to support an iOS device remotely for tech support, troubleshooting, etc?
Thanks

Hi
I have previously used the app "Tube Tamer" when I have been in London. Unfortunately, it is no longer available, at least not in my App Store.
What other apps are there that can be used with VoiceOver and where you can enter from/to stations and see which lines you can take, where to get off/change etc.?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I just got a new battery and replaced the screen on my iphone 7 running Ios 12.3.1. When I make a phone call, just holding the phone up to my ear, Voiceover is still active, so that if my cheek rubs against the phone, I can hear it in my ear and sometimes it thinks I'm making a double tap or something. I have to position the phone fairly far away from my mouth so as not to activate Voiceover, which in turn makes me sound far away to the caller on the other end of the line.

Hi all,
I'm puzzled with something on my iPad, running iOS 7.1.1.
If I search for an app in the App Store and double-tap on a search result, a page is displayed with all of the information about the app. However, using Voice Over, I can't find a way to close that page and continue browsing the App Store. I think, under older versions of iOS, there used to be a "Done" button in one of the top corners — not anymore, as far as I can tell.

Is it possible to have VoiceOver coming through my phone's speaker, while music's going out through a Bluetooth device?
I thought at first the channel options in the VoiceOver audio menu in iOS 10 made this possible, but that's just for turning either the left or right speakers off. I don't really see the point with it, unless some people want music through the left speaker and VoiceOver through the right or something crazy like that.
I just wanna control the music when hanging out with sighted friends without VoiceOver disrupting the music. LOL

Hi. Running IOS8 on an iPhone 5S. I am trying to pair my phone to my Panasonic Micro HiFi System, which permits bluetooth streaming. When I go into Settings, Bluetooth and turn it on, I am told that Device searching is "In Progress", but nothing is found and "In Progress" remains on my screen indefinately. Has anyone else had a similar issue? My daughter is also running IOS8, on an iPhone 5 and has no trouble connecting to the HiFi, albeit that she is not using Voiceover. Should I be doing anything else on the phone in order to detect discoverable bluetooth devices?

I’ve been using iOS devices for many years and love them in general. However there is one very annoying issue for which I do not have a solution and I am not quite sure if it is a bug or just my own ignorance.
When Bluetooth headset is connected to my iPhone and I receive an incomming call after a∷epting it with the button on headset the audio from call is directed to the iPhone’s innternal speaker instead of headset. It does not depend on the iPhone’s model, iOS version or headset model. Sometimes it happens when I listen to music.

Hello guys!
I have some questions:
1: How to switch app? Command tab and command + shift + tab does not work.
2: How do I enable VoiceOver using only the keyboard? Command h also does not work.
3: How to go back and move to the next page on Safari? In windows, for example, the shortcut is alt left arrow and alt right arrow.

I am currently using an SE with version 17.0.2 but when I make a call that requires me to press 1, enter number, or select number, or even if I want to switch to speaker or mute, voiceover stops working for some reason.
I don't know the exact reason but, have thought it may be the microphone or a conflict with speaker output from call and voiceover.
I've been searching for a solution but, the last time anyone has spoken about it, that I could find, was from version 14.

So I updated to IOS last week and I have noticed that my phone will no longer say the word gun. It will say guns but if it's a singular gun it spells G U N. I am an avid hunter and shooter and follow a lot of firearms forums, pages, etc. and this gets really annoying. Is this happening to anyone else and if so is apple trying to sensor words? If words are being sensored, and I don't care what the word is or how people on either side feel about it politically, if any word is being sensored I am going to have a big problem with apple.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from SE 2020 to a 13 mini and I am now having problems with dictation.
VoiceOver is not automatically rading what I have dictated, so I have to navigate to the edit box to confirm what has been written.
Previously, once I have finished dicgtating, VoiceOver reads what I have said, then I can either edit the text or start dictating again.
Has anyone experienced this before? If so, is there a fix please.
Thank you
