Hi,
After pressing the Add button, enter the phone number that you wish to call
with FaceTime Audio, then press return on the keyboard. Go back up to the

It seems to be a long way around to get to the printer queue to check on
pending jobs. System Preferences followed by Printers and Scanners, followed by
a lot of VO arrow, then click on printer queue. How would I set up a hotkey

You could add the printer cue for your printer to the dock and launch it
from there or you could use the Keyboard commander feature and create a

Hi,
I’m not sure if there’s a specific VO command, but you can press cmd-l, which
is a MacOS command, to send the cursor up to the Address field where you can
hear or copy the current web address.

Hi folks.
I've got the camera connection kit, with the drive plugged in to my phone.
There are zip audio files on the drive.
I want to import these files into voice dream reader.
every time i try this, I get document not available.

Try transferring them with the files app instead. Maybe even transfer them from
the drive to the Reader folder in “on my iPhone” file area.

That’s what I like about this list, instructions are normally given in manual
gestures. I’m on an NZ based iPhone list and a lot of the members on there
heavily rely on Siri to do most of their iPhone and iPad functions. Not that
there is anything wrong in that, the good thing with Apple is it
Yeah, I think the files app keeps crashing, because it will not let me
copy anything.
What format should the flash drive be in?

I’ve always used dropbox to transfer files to my phone, and if they are on a
flash drive I just plugged it into my computer and used dropbox. Then it is
quite easy to get files from dropbox into voice dream.

I would usually do that, but upload speed here doesn't work well.

Hi Petrus
You know, it's funny. I use Siri constantly, but I didn't think about trying to
have her accomplish that particular task. I think because I worry that if
there's some parameter, such as audio, she'll screw it up. But, it worked
perfectly. thanks for mentioning this option.

In iOS 13, how does one handle these? I cannot figure out how to
select what I need either via gestures or keyboard.

The way I handled them in iOS is to double tap on the picker, wait a second and
it will bring the picker into an editable context and say “picker item. At that

With focus on the Picker item, make sure your rotor is set to “Adjust Value”,
and then swipe either up or down to select your choice. Once you have
completed this action, swipe left or right to exit the Picker.

Hi. Me neither. As I say to the people that are close to me who want to learn
how to use a Mac, as long as you're not doing anything stupid like going on
websites you shouldn't be going on, you won't need antivirus software. I guess
that could be said for any computer.

Sorry to hear of your frustration. But interestingly enough, you do not need to

Can you use the split tap in place of the double tap? You hold one
finger in the item then tap once with another finger, either hand.
