Hi folks!
I'm just using this as an example here, but it's been around for a while now. Some texts the Siri female voice is not able to speak, and, instead of speaking, causes the device (in this example, my iPhone SE) to respring. Here's a bit of text that can't be read on my device, copied from the list of searched Wikipedia pages in the Wikipedia app:
Summer of Love
Mid 1967 social and political phenomenon in San Francisco, California, USA Actions available

Hi. I am having a problem with 4 different iOS devices and I am wondering if anyone can help me solve this problem. When I say devices, I mean all of them, as I use them all often and I also oftentimes use more then one of them at the same time. Before I describe this problem, I will give some background. I hope with the info I give someone will be able to help me figure out what is going on here. I have 3 iOS 8.1.2 devices: an iPhone 4s, an iPhone 6 and an iPod 5. I also have an iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1.6. The iOS 8 devices are jailbroaken and the 3GS is not.

Hello to all. I think I encountered a bug in iOS wherein at least in the audio boom app for example I start to type and my text edit field disappears. I mean the keyboard for it does. This happens with both vo on and off. I tap the edit field the keyboard appears for a second, then disappears. I turn bluetooth on and invoke the edit field and it disappears. I tested this i type to phone. I could only get half of what I pasted in before the edit controls would disappear after about 3 seconds. This probably is a known bug but has anyone else had this problem.

Hi,
I have installed iOS 26, and have noticed that contracted braille is missing. If I flick down with two fingers, the only ones available to me are contracted and uncontracted UEB braille. Has anybody else noticed this?

I wanted to make a more posative post here so here goes.
I'm really happy about the new apps for the blind appearing on the app store, even though I don't need them it's nice that more people are thinking about ways to help us, even if I'd prefer they did their research first and don't just rehash the same old OCR app.
SO we have new apps with AI functions, awesome! What else this year? Well there's the glide, a mobility aid that uses the IPhone and google maps to help us get around.

Hi,is there an application, whichsupports turn-by-turn navigation, like Dotwalker on Android?

Hello,
I have found a very neat trick all over the internet that will let you to cashe the map that your screen is currently viewing perminently, so you could use google maps and navigate around without using any data while you're on the move.
So this is the trick.

HI applevis. I wish to bring a new app under your attention. its called eskom se push. I have searched for the app on your site but were told no results so I thought of telling you about this app. I realize that only blind people in south Africa will benefit from this app but I'm sure there is a lot of blind people in south Africa so they might come across this app while on your website. currently we have in south Africa what is called load shedding. Because there is problems with the supply of electricity in south Africa including unrest, there is periods when the power goes off.

Hi everyone,i like to test new apps and games that i find if itβs accessible or not. Δ° found an app called storyfire,which created by youtube content creator. Δ°t has interesting features. You can upload a video,write a story or post something like on twitter. Δ°tβs mostly accessible,but if you want to watch a video you canβt close an ad when it ends. Δ°t takes whole screen. Δ° want this app to be very accessible

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature still I do find it annoying. I use my iPad Pro 2020 with content with mainly two languages; English and Arabic.. I found that Alex voice comes from the left hand speakers and the Arabic TTS comes from the right. This is very confusing. This is only when I use the built-in quad speakers not with connected headphones either wired or bluetooth.

Hi All, Last week, I got the iPhone Mini. Love it! Thanks to this site and you guys, I was able to set up face ID and make custom gestures. My question though: Is there a new feature that if you just touch the screen that it wakes. I turned off raise-to-wake and if I touch the screen with my fingers, it wakes. Even just putting it in my pocket can cause this. Is there some setting I can turn off so phone won't wake unless I push the side button? Thanks.

I recently upgraded my iPhone 8 Plus to an iPhone 11, and so far, I'm loving it. Although it still feels at times as if I'm using a stranger's phone, but I'm sure, because it's a new phone, it will take some getting use to, especially since I went from Touch ID to Face ID.

Ok Guys came across something very interesting which is probably a bug but hey ho. in the UK we have an insurance company called lv and whilst checking my banking app I came across an entry for 55. Totally baffled me at the time. Then it suddenly flashed into my head lv in roman numerals is 55. So as a test I tried other combos of letters and yep all are roman numerals. They have to be in uppercase or VO reads them correct. Lv would say lv lv would say lv but LV says 55 etc. XIV reads as 14. So you get the idea. Tried this with 4 voices and my personal voice and exactly the same.

For the most part, Facebook is pretty accessible, but I have still encountered some areas where voiceover missed behaves or provides little to no verbal feedback at all. Does anyone else run into these challenges when browsing Facebook? Feel free to chime in with other areas of the app that I missed.
