Hey again Chris. If you have any influence, there is another thing that I have been meaning to write about that I wish, pretty please, Apple could fix in 6.0 for iPhone. I also have a blind friend that has screaming about this.
Whenever you're on a call or your phone is ringing, it's very difficult to hear, especially when near heavy traffic, VoiceOver when calls are activated or one is coming in, unless you use the earphone. I didn't have this problem on my iPhone 4, but I do have it on the 4S. I sure hope this isn't a hardware thing because otherwise, I may have to find out if the iPhone 5 (when it comes out) has the same problem. , Eugenia Firth gigifi...@sbcglobal.net On Jun 24, 2012, at 8:33 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote: > Gigi, > > I can't really say much about if this happens now, seeing I'm a dev on I O S > 6, so thus am on N D A, but I can! legally say this: in I O S 5, which is > the most current firmware readily available for the public, which I'm quite > sure is what you have, I had this problem a fair amount, yes. > > Remember that even though dictation is not a part of Seri persey, it is > actually ran through the same proxy server that Seri uses.
