RE: Gesture to Move to End of Document

[Alan Lemly]

I'll add to what Richard has already said that if the particular screen happens 
to have a bottomline menu bar, placing focus on the leftmost button on that bar 
and swiping left once will usually jump you to the next element at the bottom 
of the pages. Otherwise, the 4-finger tap near the bottom of the screen as 
Richard said is the other alternative.

The only one I know of is the four finger tap near the bottom of the screen.
That usually works for me.

Subject: Gesture to Move to End of Document

Recently I've encountered long multiple-screen blocks of text which I would 
like to skip. For instance, the user agreement for OneNote. It's 140 pages 
plus. I know I'm going to use the app and would like to move to the accept 
button, but moving page by page will take a long time. This certainly isn't the 
only example, but a recent one.

Is there a VoiceOver command to move--not just to the end of the screen--but to 
the end of a multi-page or multi-screen item?

I will appreciate any help.

Re: Google Assistant is now an iPhone app

Hey. From what I've been playing around with in the Google Assistant, Tunein 
isn't available. Only Youtube and Apple Music. Also, in regards to Sieghard's 
comments, I'd be a little worried if Amazon were to start shipping the Echo 
here in Canada. Sure, it would be cool, but seeing as I already have one, if 
they do start shipping here in Canada, I might lose my Pandora and iHeartRadio 
US accounts. It would be nice if Pandora were available here in Canada, but I 
kinda doubt it will. And our iHeartRadio is crap compared to the US's so they 
need to fix that before I'd be relaxed about the Echo being supported in Canada.

Hello,

The google assistant is okay... it is great on Android, and is much better than 
Siri at contextualization. However, on iOS, the first bunch of words that are 
uttered by the assistant are presented at an extremely low volume, before 
volume increases. I attempted to play around with audio ducking options, 
however this did not fix the problem. Unfortunately, this is a huge issue when 
out and about and trying to hear what it says... while you can hear the content 
by using Voiceover, this is not always convenient, especially hand-free... 
speaking of hands-free, there should be a way to say okay google to trigger the 
assistant... there also should be a way to trigger the assistant with a 
long-press of the home button if a user chooses. In iOS, it seems that the only 
two options are using Siri, or voice commands, whatever that means. Anyway, if 
you are okay with the drawbacks of using this app at present, I do recommend it.

Thanks.

RE: Google Assistant is now an iPhone app

[Sieghard Weitzel]

No, the Google Assistant is also not available here in Canada at this point 
just as the google Home Speaker is not yet available although apparently this 
is supposed to change later this year.
Also, ind typical Google fashion the google Assistant app apparently wants to 
keep track of your location at all times even when you are not using the app so 
it can collect as much information about you as possible.
It is interesting how there is a lot of discussion how Apple is totally missing 
the boat on the smart speaker category, but one thing that isn’t mentioned is 
that devices like the Amazon Echo or Google Home are only available in the US 
and a couple of other countries, I believe the Echo is available in the UK and 
Germany, but it is not even available in Canada and we only just now are able 
to use Amazon Video here. If the rumours are true Apple may release a smart 
speaker tomorrow or if not then maybe in September or October and it will be 
interesting to see if Apple is making it available in many more countries. I 
know not all Apple services have always been available everywhere, but I could 
see how such a device might be available wherever apple also sells iPhones or 
at least where SIRI is available since of course SIRI would be absolutely 
required for this to work. If so and if Apple is finally giving SIRI the 
necessary upgrade to bring it more in line with what Alexa and Google Home can 
do then Apple could very quickly gain a strong foothold in this market simply 
because the other companies didn’t bother to make their device available 
outside the US and a handful of other countries.

Re: hot spot

[Richard Turner]

The down side is that it will use cellular data.
She may have to work with her carrier to enable hotspot and it may cost a 
little extra.
Whether the computer will automatically connect after the first time is a good 
question that she probably will have to sort out after the fact.
I use the hotspot with my work phone when I am traveling for work.
If I turn wifi off on the computer until after it is at the desktop, then turn 
on the persenal hotspot, then turn on the wifi, it generally connects 
automatically.
When she leaves the apartment, she should just turn off the personal hotspot on 
the phone and turn it on when she returns.
HTH,
Richard

hot spot

[Ann Byrne]

My student wants to set up her phone as a hot spot, instead of using 
the unreliable internet connection in the apartment complex where she lives.


1. Will her computer connect automatically after the initial set up?
2. When she takes the phone with her away from the computer, is she 
still transmitting internet data?
3. When she comes back home, will the computer find the internet 
without her doing anything about it?

4.  What is the down side of the process?

Thanks.  This is uncharted territory for me.  Is there an article 
somewhere I can read to learn more?

You may want to see if not having VoiceOver speak on the lock screen fixes it 
in the VoiceOver settings.

Or, stating the obvious here, set the do not disturb time later.

If you just turn off speech with the three finger double tap, you can still 
answer the phone using the two finger double tap.

Hi all,

 

I have my phone set to “do not disturb” over night.  When it comes out of this 
mode, I may actually still be asleep at 7 am, but it immediately starts 
speaking, giving me the current list of notifications.

 

I know I can turn off VoiceOver, or turn off speech, but I’ve also found I 
usually forget the odd state I’ve left things in when a call comes in, and I 
have trouble answering it.  So, I thought I’d ask if there’s any other way to 
keep VO from giving me all this speech when “do not disturb” ends?

 

Thanks,

Hello,

The google assistant is okay... it is great on Android, and is much better than 
Siri at contextualization. However, on iOS, the first bunch of words that are 
uttered by the assistant are presented at an extremely low volume, before 
volume increases. I attempted to play around with audio ducking options, 
however this did not fix the problem. Unfortunately, this is a huge issue when 
out and about and trying to hear what it says... while you can hear the content 
by using Voiceover, this is not always convenient, especially hand-free... 
speaking of hands-free, there should be a way to say okay google to trigger the 
assistant... there also should be a way to trigger the assistant with a 
long-press of the home button if a user chooses. In iOS, it seems that the only 
two options are using Siri, or voice commands, whatever that means. Anyway, if 
you are okay with the drawbacks of using this app at present, I do recommend it.

Thanks.

RE: Gesture to Move to End of Document

The only one I know of is the four finger tap near the bottom of the screen.
That usually works for me.

Subject: Gesture to Move to End of Document

Recently I've encountered long multiple-screen blocks of text which I would 
like to skip. For instance, the user agreement for OneNote. It's 140 pages 
plus. I know I'm going to use the app and would like to move to the accept 
button, but moving page by page will take a long time. This certainly isn't the 
only example, but a recent one.

Is there a VoiceOver command to move--not just to the end of the screen--but to 
the end of a multi-page or multi-screen item?

I will appreciate any help.

Hello,

The google assistant is okay... it is great on Android, and is much better than 
Siri at contextualization. However, on iOS, the first bunch of words that are 
uttered by the assistant are presented at an extremely low volume, before 
volume increases. I attempted to play around with audio ducking options, 
however this did not fix the problem. Unfortunately, this is a huge issue when 
out and about and trying to hear what it says... while you can hear the content

speaking of hands-free, there should be a way to say okay google to trigger the 
assistant... there also should be a way to trigger the assistant with a 
long-press of the home button if a user chooses. In iOS, it seems that the only 
two options are using Siri, or voice commands, whatever that means. Anyway, if 
you are okay with the drawbacks of using this app at present, I do recommend it.

Re: searching for answers to basic questions

[Deidre Muccio]

Richard, when I said that I always manually lock my phone or rather have it on 
never locked, it doesn't mean that I don't manually lock it. It's the sort of 
detail I would never forget. So as soon as I'm done using the phone and plan to 
step away to do other things I manually lock it. Pure and simple! Now I've got 
it on auto lock which can sometimes be a little annoying but it's not the worst.
I remember that you had a 5S and I haven't heard you talking about replacing it 
so I am somewhat envious. I would've been happy with the 5S, but it was not 
part of the offer Verizon originally made me where the six given what it came 
with was my best prospect at the time.
