Re: Pitch change for capital letters in latest Sonoma is off the charts
Dave and all, I contacted apple accessibility last week and they were able to confirm the issue. While I have no idea when it will be fixed, they are aware of it and have passed it on to the developers and so we will have to wait and see when they fix it.

Today after the latest Sonoma update, the pitch change is so off the charts it sounds like somebody getting squeezed in a very private part of their anatomy if you know what I’m saying. How can I lessen the intensity of the pitch change for letters. My workaround was to set the feature to say the word cap when encountering a capital letter instead of changing the pitch but I would like to be able to use the pitch change.

RE: New iPhone 15
Hi, Here is what I do: How to go to to the passcode screen when unlocking the phone. Do a single tap on the center of the screen to wake it up, then if you are not already in the area to type in your code, swipe up with one finger from the center bottom of the screen and slide the finger up to about 1/2 to 3/4 way up. You should find a text field nearish the top to type in and keyboard layout nearer the bottom. How to open the app switcher. Again, Swipe up with one finger from the center, bottome edge of the screen again about 1/2 to 3/4 way up and you will hear VO say app switcher. How to close an app and return to the home screen. Close an app on the app switcher screen. Find the app you want to close and with one finger give a short flick up or down and it will toggle between cloase or active when you hear the option you want single finger tap it. From any app, go to the bottom center edge of phone slide up only about 1/4 way and it will bring you to the home screen. Can one use both Face ID and passcode? Yes. Lastly, any tips on creating and using Face ID? Call the Apple accessibility help desk and they can do a screen share with you to help guide you through face recog setup.
