Hello, Many thanks for the suggestion of using the Seeing Eye App as a way to analyse photographs on my iPhone. I am impressed with the results! If there is just 1 face in a photo is it possible to name that person so that they can be identified in other photos??Many thanks … Paul Hopewell --

Yes, I thought that was the point. If you mute VoiceOver the speech will die. Then you repeat the gesture to get the speech back. > On 21/02/2020, at 06:48, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > Yes mine too. > But my speechdied when i tried it. > /A > >> 19 feb. 2020 kl. 21:43 skrev joseph hodge
