I got a form from a medical practice about signing new legal forms. It has a
signature pad that opens after I hit the sign here button and then a button to
save the signature, acknowledging receipt and reading of the disclosure, before
I get to the pages about what to disclose and what not to.
Carolyn,
I just asked Siri where am I & she opened microsoft soundscape app & told me
where I am by putting a marker on a map & reading me my current address.

I'd do that on a computer with Aira signing for you. Otherwise,
doubletap and hold on the signature pad, then sign your name by drawing
it with your finger.

I find that if I hold the side button in and give Siri the commands or
questions I want it to deal with, then release the button, there is far less of
this behavior.
I think when you use the spoken prompt Siri or Hey siri, the microphone has to
keep listening for follow up questions or commands.
Good point Barbara.
I have those earlier in the complete gestures document, but I could add them to
the section on using phones with no home button.

Yes, I find series behavior so annoying it does it to me all the time even when

Hey Richard,
I don’t know for sure technically how the screen brightness works but I do

if I have brightness as 0 versus say 100. Who knows, maybe it is superstition

Actually, if you ever want someone to look at your phone, number 3, auto

When you turn off VoiceOver, or just turn off the screen curtain, the phone

Kelly, I agree 100%, but whenever I say that, five people come back saying that
it doesn't matter, the phone is using the same battery to power the cells that
deal with brightness no matter what, which I do not believe.
