Hi all, Does anyone know of a good article—as in the written word—about the new braille improvements in IOS 18. I googled it, but all I got were podcasts. No offense to anyone, but I hate podcasts. They take way too long, and there’s way too much chatter. I just don’t have time for all that

Hi all, I just wanted to make everyone aware of a problem I encountered when I updated to IOS 18. The update appeared to go off without a hitch, until I had to enter my Pass code. Voiceover did not speak any of the numbers in the number pad. I tried turning VO on and off, and restarting my p

Such strong feelings about podcasts. Some of the best podcasts describing these features have transcripts. Read these transcripts and wow, you get the information you need. https://www.livingblindfully.com/lb0300transcript/ Smiles from Texas, On Mon, Sep 16, 2024 at 7:09 AM 'Donna Goodin' via M

Hi Joseph, I did send it off to Apple accessibility this afternoon. I figure all the accessibility improvements in the world aren’t worth much if you end up blocked out of your phone. Anyway, as we all know the more people report these bugs the more likely they are to be fixed. So if you can,

Hi Lorie, After following a link to buy an Amazon Book, I find the only way to get to the Buy button is to press the Tab key a few times. Once focus is on the button, VO and Left Cursor allows me to confirm the price. Ian Sent from my iPhone because my MacBook is very poorly! > On 16 Sep 2024
