 WWDC 2018: Hopes and Predictions
  
 It's the biggest 4 letters of the year. WWDC starts Monday and we at 
 Accessibility Matters are excited for the big day. Well, I don't know 
 about Melissa, but I sure as heck am. Here are some predictions we, I mean 
 I am looking forward to seeing.
  
 Hopes
  
 1. Implementation Of The Siri Voices System Wide On macOS
  
 Since iOS 9, Apple has made it possible to use the Siri voices for 
 Voiceover and other system wide features that use speech. In 2016, Apple 
 introduced macOS Sierra which brought the virtual assistant into the 
 Macintosh environment. However, access to the voices system wide wasn't 
 possible which is the case today. We on the Mac don't get the voices that 
 PC users do such as Neospeech, Ivona, or the now debunked Innoetics. For 
 3rd party TTS providers, we only get Nuance, Acapela, Cereproc or Cepstral 
 which I don't recommend anyone try unless they want to crash their 
 computer. So on Monday, I hope we can finally use the Siri voices system 
 wide. I'd love to use the new female voice on my Mac. I sometimes take a 
 break from her but I always gravitate back to her because she is the most 
 natural sounding female voice on the iPhone. A lot of blind people like 
 voices if they're responsive and while that's important to me as well, I 
 like my voices as human sounding 

Re: DTMF entry during a FaceTime call

[Brian Hansen]

When placing a call on your Mac using FaceTime, once the call is connected to 
your bank, or where ever you want to access an automated system, just hit 
Shift-VO-Space when the call is connected, and you will be able to manually 
enter in digits just as if you were using a regular phone.

Blessings,

Brian

RE: DTMF entry during a FaceTime call

['Jason White' via MacVisionaries]

Thank you – this is very useful to know. Of course, it doesn’t work if the 
proper digit string to be entered isn’t known in advance.

Hi Jason,

 

What I have experienced is that dtmf tones cannot be generated once a call has 
connected in facetime.

 

What I have had to do is enter the number I want to call, then insert commas to 
create pauses in my dialing string until the system answers, then enter the 
desired number to activate the feature.

So for example I enter the string tor a weather service I use, then enter 10 
commas to paust until the system answers, then enter the correct digits to 
activate the option I wish tu use.

Once the call is connected, I cannot use tones to go to other choices.

If I call an interactive voice response system, I usually need to be able to

search that FaceTime supports this, but it didn’t work when I tried it by 
typing digits while the FaceTime window had focus during a call.
