I will also go in detail of the Siri Settings.

Creating Ringtones with GarageBand On Your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch

Posted on Saturday, March 12, 2016 by tunmi13

Quick Notes

This guide was submitted when Garageband's interface was still based on iOS 7/8/9's iCloud Drive app, when the Files app never existed, and you had to have your files saved in iTunes File Sharing to access them.

This is no longer the case, so I've updated the guide based on its new interface.

In this guide, I'll be explaining the process of making ringtones using the GarageBand app.

Posted on Thursday, March 10, 2016 by Devin Prater

Playing chess with Facebook Messenger

Posted on Friday, February 5, 2016 by Elena Brescacin

Here is a procedure to play chess using Facebook Messenger application.
Note: this is text-only mode, it's as simple as a chat; for a blind user, it's recommended to have a real chess board in proximity to study the positions and perform moves, but it's also good for people who knows to play chess by heart.
It is simply a server which stays between you and your opponent.

How to slow down the double-tap speed on iOS and iPadOS

Posted on Tuesday, November 3, 2015 by James AVC

I’ve been waiting for the option to slow down the speed of double-tapping when using VoiceOver for quite some time and now with iOS 9.1 it is here!

Several of my clients struggle with the speed at which they previously had to single finger double-tap the screen to activate buttons, open apps, open links etc, not to mention two finger double-tapping to answer or end calls coming in on their iPhones. I’m really pleased that Apple has made this option available as I think it will make…

Double Tap the Status Bar to Scroll to the Top

Posted on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 by Darrell Hilliker

In some iOS apps, with VoiceOver enabled, tapping the top of the screen with four fingers does not move to the top of lists. In these situations, it seems necessary to repeatedly flick to the left until the first item has been reached. Examples of this behavior can be found in Apple's new iOS 9 News app and the Voice Mail section of the built-in Phone app.

VoiceOver tells us the solution may be found in the status bar at the top of the screen. Follow these steps in an app that does…
