What a lost opportunity from Sonos. They could have waited and implemented 
technology so that they can work with their ecosystem. to go.

I always find it funny when companies and Sonos is included here, claim they 
support lossless audio via Bluetooth which is simply not possible. I'm not 
saying it doesn't sound very good, but even the most current and modern 
Bluetooth version and protocols have limitations when it comes to how much 
information can be streamed ant 1411 Kbps which is truly lossless audio is not 
possible, here is an excerpt from an article I recently read on Gear Patrol, I 
am putting the link to the full article below:

Can lossless audio be streamed over Bluetooth?
The short answer is no.
In order to listen to lossless digital audio files, you have two main options. 
You can use an analog connection, like connecting your wired headphones
to your smartphone or computer. Or you can stream the lossless audio over 
Wi-Fi, through a pair of
active speakers, such as KEF Wireless II or even multi-room speaker like Sonos.
There are technologies that let you stream high bitrate audio over Bluetooth. 
For example, if your smartphone and headphones support either of some audio 
codecs, such as Sony’s LDAC (up to 990 kbps) or Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive (up to 
570 kbps), you can stream stream high bitrate and low latency audio files over 
Bluetooth. However, these audio files aren’t lossless (which is 1,411 kbps).

Is Lossless Audio the New Hi-Fi? It’s Not That 
Simple

Since I have had the Apple Airpods Max since they came out, unless they die, I 
don’t see any real need to buy these.
The extra battery life looks great, but to my ears, the Apple Airpods Max are 
fantastic.

Like you say, since they didn’t include Wi-Fi, the battery life is really the 
only thing I would want, but only if these die.

No worries Richard, now instead of posting the first message I'll simply say 
that I am deeply disappointed that these are just another pair of super 
expensive Bluetooth headsets. I really thought that apart from that they would 
also support Wi-Fi connectivity when you are at home as all other Sonos 
products do and that they could be used as any other Sonos player and could be 
grouped with other Sonos players if, for example, my wife was watching a movie 
on our Arc surround setup and I wanted to listen on the headset while I was 
doing something else. Apparently it is very easy to transfer whatever is 
playing on another Sonos speaker to the headset which is somewhat nice, but I 
find it disappointing nonetheless. The first review I just read did sound 
positive in terms of the headset's design and sound quality. Apparently it is a 
definite step up from Apple's Airpods Max at a $100 lower price point and also 
competes well against Sony's top of the line offering. I may order one just to 
experience it, but I am 95% certain that I would probably send it back. Here

Sorry Sieghared to beat you to the punch, but for those waiting for Sonos to

for $449 US.

Hi all,
If anyone wants to bring up these concerns, I believe that it is better done 
through Apple then on these list. It's fairly easy to do, on the App Store, 
search the app and towards the bottom there's a report button. Sign into your 
Apple account and select one of the following options that are given there and 
on the text box, you can write your concerns

Hey Richard,



If I may, I do feel like the distinction between ‘rules’ and ‘guidelines’ is a 
bit pedantic. The App Store review guidelines at 
https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/ do also use the term 
“rule” frequently throughout the text. For example, they say, “We hope these 
guidelines help you sail through the review process, and that approvals and 
rejections remain consistent across the board. This is a living document; new 
apps presenting new questions may result in new rules at any time.”



In this case the guideline I referenced, 3.1.2, states: “If you are changing 
your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take 
away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for.”



This is pretty clear in my view, it’s essentially saying, don’t try to charge 
for something a user already bought, don’t take away purchases users already 
made. And that Apple page says they hope the guidelines will be enforced 
consistently across the board. The guideline also makes common sense to me. For 
example, I wouldn’t sell you a music album, then expect you to rent it out 
later.



This looks pretty clear-cut to me. You are absolutely right that it may not 
turn out to be an issue for this developer. The Apple reviewers may not notice, 
they might notice but let it slide, the guidelines may be changed, something 
else might happen. However at this point, it’s pretty clear that Apple doesn’t 
want developers to rent out features that users already bought.

Re: Making everyone pay for voice dream

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi all,
It's unfortunate that this is a new subscription model for New users but I 
understand developers need to get paid for their work  for such app. 
Considering Voice Dream inclusiveness with Accessibility, it's worth supporting 
in my opinion if you use the app daily. They get continuous updates and the app 
is very robust. There are other apps that do similar   things like speech 
central and speechify.
   I did a bit of research and this is what I found...

11 months ago

Hi all, Voice Dream Team here. Existing users should not be affected and will 
continue to have access to the app. We are migrating to a subscription model 
only for new users. If you have any issues please feel free to contact our 
support team.

$59.99/year

Hi Group,

I  would be willing to pay up to twenty dollars yearly, but this is ridiculous. 
I could afford it, but it is still way too high for an app on an Apple device. 
As mentioned before, the average price of most apps usable with IOS devices is 
between five and ten dollars US.  Allowing for the smaller market, I could 
easily pay double yearly, but not sextuplet!

Just received a message voice dream is going to cost 59 dollars a year now. A 
pet peeve of mine is everything requires a subscription. I see nothing in there 
reasons for this that affects me. So, nice I had it for so long. It was a 
wonderful app, but I am done with it. As with MBraille I was one of the first 
to buy it for I think 5 dollars. Makes me want to cry to lose it, but much more 
important places to put my money. On Social Security with a guide dog and so 
guess it goes away. Still want to cry after all the books from Bookshare it has 
read to me.

RE: Siri and music recognition

[Feliciano Godoy]

Shazam is not needed. It was an alternative that I used when I had the same 
issue as the OP with iOS 16. Now with iOS 17 identifying music with Siri works 
fine. Not sure what fixed it the update-or reset of settings. Shazam was and is 
more efficient and it logs the music you identified in a easy to access manner 
too without letting the world know what you are doing.

RE: Which is better to use with my Maytag smart dryer? Google Assistant or Alexa?

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
I imagine that both platforms have the same commands, but you need to research 
that. Look up the commands for both platforms then go from there. Both 
platforms are great, it's a matter of what works best for you and what you want 
to accomplish.

Alexa, or Google Assistant?

Re: How to direct Be My AI Voiceover speaking of image analysis to a Bluetooth speaker?

[Feliciano Godoy]

Alan,
Have you changed  audio destination via rotor? Another thing to consider is to 
change device type via Bluetooth settings on the BT speaker/ more info.

Hi List,

I’m getting the Be My AI image results just fine on my iPhone 13 Mini running 
iOS 16.7. What I’m unable to do is to get Voiceover reading the results of that 
analysis out of an attached Bluetooth speaker so I can play it for someone hard 
of hearing. I attempted copying the results to the Notes app and can’t figure 
out how to get Voiceover to come through the attached speaker there either.

I would welcome any suggestions. It seems as if I need to add some sort of 
audio output source to my rotor but I’m unaware that such a thing exists.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Recordings

[Feliciano Godoy]

I agree, the screen recording feature that is on the iPhone is great and I 
would recommend that you use that one. One thing to know is that the microphone 
may be disabled for screen recording if you have not used it. Once screen 
recording is on your control center, swipe up with one finger to find Moore 
controls and at the very bottom you can enable microphone.

Hi Steve,

You can do a screen recording. Go to the Control Center part of the settings 
app, and make sure screen recording is inserted in your control center. Then 
from anywhere, go to the control center and press on the screen recording 
button (usually located towards the end of the screen). Do the same to stop 
recording, or lock your phone screen, which also stops recording. This creates 
a video of your phone screen, including all sound. You can find this video in 
your photo library. If you want, you can also use an app like AudioConverter to 
create an audio file of the video you recorded, or record the audio to an 
external device in real-time.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,

RE: Any reasons to not upgrade to iOS 17?

[Feliciano Godoy]

iOS 17 hasn't broke accessibility for me with the exception of the change with 
audio messages with the native messages app. If you don't use audio messages on 
a daily basis, nothing to worry about.

The difference with audio messages now is that you need to stop and send the 
recording rather than it automatically sending like in iOS 16.

Here’s a partial view of the courtyard at my apartment complex.

The picture shows a cozy outdoor area. In the foreground, there are three palm 
trees with long, slender trunks and large, arching fronds. The ground is 
covered with small plants and mulch. To the left, there is a narrow concrete 
walkway leading to a metal gate. The gate is silver and has vertical bars. 
Beyond the gate, you can see a glimpse of a swimming pool with turquoise water, 
surrounded by more palm trees. The walls on either side of the walkway are 
textured, and the one on the right is adorned with a small rectangular window. 
The area looks like a small garden or courtyard in a residential setting. The 
sunlight is filtering through the palm fronds, casting shadows on the walkway.

And here’s a glimpse of my music room.



The picture shows a room with a collection of guitars and amplifiers. There are 
six guitars hanging on the wall. From left to right, the first guitar is a 
sunburst color with a white pickguard, the second is red with a black 
pickguard, the third is also red but with a white pickguard, the fourth is a 
natural wood color acoustic guitar, the fifth is a sunburst color with a white 
pickguard, and the sixth is a natural wood color with a black pickguard.

Below the guitars, on the floor, there are three amplifiers and a black 
backpack. The amplifier on the left is the largest and has a black exterior 
with two speakers. The middle amplifier is smaller and also black with a single 
speaker. The amplifier on the right is black and similar in size to the middle 
one but has a label that reads "GK GALLIEN-KRUEGER". The black backpack is 
placed between the left and middle amplifiers. The carpet is gray and the walls 
are painted in a light beige color. On Sep 25, 2023, at 1:18 PM, Sieghard

Hi Alan,

Hmm, maybe I should write a book consisting of Be My AI desdcription and my 
intelligent comments 藍
If you don't like your current book, try "Mad Honey" by Jodi Picoult, just 
listening to it from Audible and it's very good as are all of her books.
If you want something she wrote which is a bit more controversial, try "Small 
Great Things" or "The Storyteller" or "Nineteen Minutes".

I took a picture while I was at the SoFi Stadium this weekend for a concert, 
this is what I got.

The picture shows the interior of a large stadium with a transparent roof, 
allowing natural light to enter. The stadium is named "SoFi Stadium" as seen on 
a large, oval-shaped screen hanging from the ceiling. This screen is displaying 
advertisements for Ed Sheeran and Ticketmaster, along with some visuals in red

houses and structures. In the far distance, there are majestic mountains 
partially obscured by clouds. The sky above is overcast.

One thing I would possibly question a little is the "lush" description in 
connection with our lawn. It is relatively green, but we had a super dry summer 
and due to water restrictions were not allowed to water the lawn so while now 
we have more moisture at night due to humidity and temperatures in the mid 
30's, it's green, but I wouldn't call it "lush".
The description of the greenhouse is spot on, it is probably 50 feet away and 
the "wpooden base" did surprise me, but it is indeed built on 16-inch tall and 
6 inch wide fir timbers which I did to make it not so low. What the description 
didn't get is that it is sitting on a concrete pad.
The fence description is also correct, in fact I took one other picture before 
this one and in that it even said that the fence appears to be new which is not 
incorrect since it's made from cedar and I build it just last fall so the wood 
still looks fairly fresh.
The bit about the tarp is also right on. I am still working on building a 
double gate for the 10 foot opening in the fence and for now I put a long board 
across the two posts and hung a tarp over that because behind our property is 
an approx. 3 or 4 acre open field which belongs to a school just a few houses 
down from us and they are currently in the process of establishing a soccre 
field and green area around that.
Because of that large open space and the fact that due to the drought there are 
hardly any berries in the mountains, we have a lot of black bears in town this 
fall and while we just picked the rest of our apples yesterday, I don't want 
them in the yard if possible. The tarp russles and crackles a bit when it's 
windy which seems to work quite well to keep them out. Just in the past 3 days 
our Ring doorbell camera captured one nice black bear walking across our 
driveway in front of the house and a couple days earlier a Mama Bear with 3 
babies in toe walked by around 3 during the night.
Anyways, the rest of the description is also correct, around that field in the 
back ar tall poppler trees which are turning yellow now and you can see some 
houses a couple of hundred metres away and then looking further

Hi Feliciano,

I'm glad you got screen recognition active in Amazon Music and are now 
experiencing what I was no doubt poorly communicating. I agree that the Amazon 
Music app needs accessibility improvements and thank you for writing them with 
your comments.

I'm finding that whenever I encounter an app that seems to have controls or 
buttons that VoiceOver isn't speaking, that going to the rotor and turning 
screen recognition on for that app often gives me much better results. However, 
I always turn screen recognition off before exiting that app. I prefer leaving 
screen recognition turned off by default.

I stand corrected. I reviewed my settings and although screen recognition was 
enabled for the rotor, it looks like I had forgotten to enable it via voiceover 
settings.

Enabling screen recognition did help, but I still had to label some buttons. 
Time will tell to see if it does make a difference overall.

I still believe Amazon music should be accessible out the gate like it was 
prior to this recent update. The AT tools are great, but clearly not as 
effective.

Feliciano,

I'm not trying to be contentious here but I disagree that turning screen 
recognition on in the Amazon Music app has no impact. It makes a difference in 
what VoiceOver speaks on my iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 16.6. Perhaps you have 
your settings different or don't know how to turn screen recognition on in 
order to use it.

Screen recognition doesn’t work on Amazon music app for iPhone. Labeling 
buttons works to an extent. I have tried various alternatives with no luck. 
Amazon is huge, they just need people to make noise if they want something to 
be done about it.

Spotify has figured it out, so it’s not rocket science.

I don’t include what I sent amazon because as you noted, people have different

Ok, but you might want to include details such as a copy of what you sent to 
Amazon Support when asking others to report an accessibility issue.

I do have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription and I'm not experiencing the 
accessibility issues you described even on the now playing screen. I've found 
that turning screen recognition on within the Amazon Music app makes many of 
its screens more accessible.

Christopher,
I do enjoy apple music as well as Spotify. I use different music streaming 
services for different things. I did find that the browser is better for Amazon 
music, but feel that the desktop app and smartphone app should be improved.

I know this isn't strictly related, but I also found that using the web 
interface for Amazon Music isn't particularly accessible either. I want a music 
streaming service that I could access from as many devices as possible, so I 
wen with Apple Music.

Hello All,

I have to admit, when compared to the outstanding VoiceOver accessibility of 
the Kindle app for iOS, the Amazon Music app for iOS is woefully lacking.

While one can certainly employ various VoiceOver workarounds, with varying 
degrees of success, the experience is not, in my opinion, enjoyable.

AT this point in time, I would certainly not recommend the Amazon Music app for 
iOS to any VoiceOver user.

Be that as it may, when accessed via Amazon Alexa, the Amazon Music service for 
the Echo hardware devices is excellent.

Just my opinion, of course.

 Feliciano,

I just want you to know that you aren't alone. I'm having accessibility trouble 
also with the Amazon music app. I reported that none of the buttons are 
labeled, focus when swiping problems & skipping tracks when I'm forced to swipe 
past the player. I'm using an iPhone 11 with the most recent IOS & Amazon music 
updates. I've been having this problem for a year or more. Having screen 
recognition On or Off makes no difference in the Amazon app.

Donna


Hi,
I didn’t explain here as I have already explained to amazon. I am having issues 
with unlabled buttons on both iPhone and Windows apps. On iPhone, I am also 
having abnormal behavior when swiping on occasion which triggers the app to go 
to the next track. If you play a track, go to the now playing screen and it’s a 
mess. Not sure if you’re an amazon music unlimited user as unlimited users have 
different UI on iPhone.

RE: Amazon music app for iPhone broek accessibility

[Feliciano Godoy]

Alan,
I stand corrected. I reviewed my settings and although screen recognition was 
enabled for the rotor, it looks like I had forgotten to enable it via voiceover 
settings.

Enabling screen recognition did help, but I still had to label some buttons. 
Time will tell to see if it does make a difference overall.

I still believe Amazon music should be accessible out the gate like it was 
prior to this recent update. The AT tools are great, but clearly not as 
effective.

Thanks,

Feliciano

Feliciano,

I'm not trying to be contentious here but I disagree that turning screen 
recognition on in the Amazon Music app has no impact. It makes a difference in 
what VoiceOver speaks on my iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 16.6. Perhaps you have 
your settings different or don't know how to turn screen recognition on in 
order to use it.

I do have an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription and I'm not experiencing the

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I spent over 2 hours, last night, trying to locate a good VoiceOver
accessible news app that will allow for push notifications to be sent to my
phone based on specific topics.

For example, during the past couple of days I have wanted to get breaking
news updates on this missing Titanic submersible story without having to
open an app and searching for it.

1.
I already have the Google News app, installed and it is great for
configuring very specific alerts based on key words but it, as far as I can
tell, only sends notifications via email.  Not good.

2.
I also have the USA Today app installed and I like it but I do not see any
options for allowing device push notifications.  I would be willing to pay
for such a feature but do not want to pay for a subscription only to
discover that the feature does not exists.

3.
I installed the Associated Press app only to discover that it is not a very
VoiceOver accessible solution; at least, not on my beloved iPad Pro.

4.
I would be more than willing to pay for Apple News Plus if only it offered
such a push notification feature but, as far as I know, it does not.  If
someone knows how to configure Apple News to push notifications for updates
regarding only a specific story, please let me know.

As always, all replies greatly appreciated.

Re: Enjoy your Instant Pot while it lasts - the company has filed for bankruptsy

[Feliciano Godoy]

I agree. They filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. I quote

The bankruptcy process will not impact the ability to purchase products as 
Instant Brand will operate as usual with the help of $132.5 million in new 
financing.

It’s important to recognize the difference between the two different kinds of 
bankruptcy filings. Instant filed under Chapter 11, which means they are trying 
to re-organize, not just go out of business. Apparently they do have a 
financing group ready to infuse more money into their business, but it Hass to 
be approved by whoever it is that is in charge of bankruptcies. So it may still 
be around after re-organization, or it could go away via the chapter 7 
bankruptcy, in which case, it is in fact gone.

I know many on the list bought into the Instant Pot craze about 4 or 5 years

here in Canada. At one point it was somewhat reasonable, but I thought it would 
go on sale again and then it didn't and then it seemed to disappear. Now I just 
came across an article on CBC News about Instant Brands which apparently came 
into existance when Instant Pot and Corelle Brands merged, another rwell-known 
brand which  is part of that company's port folio is Pyrex cookware. In the 
article it says that Instant Brands has gone into Chapter 11 bankruptsy 
protection and that the assets of the company may be liquidated. Of course it 
is quite possible that maybe some other outfit picks up some or all of the 
pieces although I believe the era of the Instant Pot and similar all-in-one 
cooking appliances has passed and was nothing more than a fad. In the end I am 
glad I didn't get one of these gadgets as I actually do like cooking according 
to more traditional methods making things from scratch and with local 
ingredients including those we grow in our own garden in the summer and fall. . 
For anybody who is interested, here is a link to the article:

Let's hope the fact Sonos announced they will enter at least one new category 
this year means they will finally come out with Wi-Fi headphones which tie into

 Hi guys,
   I’m trying to find an accessible GPS application for the iPhone that will 
offer really easy to use bread crumb features for an older gentleman who is not 
really tech savvy. He lives on a farm that is approximately 60 acres in size. 
He needs an app in which he can navigate between specific landmarks on his 
property and be given directions or indicators if he wanders astray. This would 
be, for example, reaching a water tower from his house or finding his way back 
to his house from another part of his property.

If anyone can suggest a specific app that will fit the bill, please let me 
know. Also, if one can give pointers that I can pass along to the person, I’d 
appreciate that as well.

Re: Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps

[Feliciano Godoy]

Twitter is just fine. What’s your source for them firing their accessibility 
team? Just because Twitter doesn’t allow third-party apps to be utilized 
doesn’t  mean that it’s a bad company.
Many companies do you things how they want. Look at Apple.

Twitter officially kills off all third-party client apps
AppleInsider  /  n...@appleinsider.com (Amber Neely)

[https://photos5.appleinsider.com/gallery/52478-104792-twitter-xl.jpg]

Twitter has updated its developer agreement to explicitly prohibit third-party 
app makers from creating their own clients using the company's API.

On Thursday, Twitter updated its developer's agreement with a clause 
prohibiting app developers from making their own Twitter clients.

The change comes a few days after developers began 
reporting
 their apps no longer worked.

The "restrictions" section of Twitter's development agreement has been expanded 
to help "enforce its long-standing API rules," according to the company's 
development Twitter account. It noted that, as a result, some apps might not 
work.

Twitter is enforcing its long-standing API rules. That may result in some apps 
not working.

— Twitter Dev (@TwitterDev) January 17, 
2023

However, as Engadget points 
out,
 it does not align with the company's history. Third-party apps have been 
central to Twitter use for most of the social media platform's history.

Twitterific, for example, has been a crucial part of Twitter's history since 
the beginning. Twitterific had a native iOS app before Twitter did and is 
credited with coining the word "tweet."

As a result of the API restriction, developers have begun pulling their apps 
out of the App Store.

Today marks the end of an era. Sadly, we've been forced to pull Twitterrific 
from both the iOS and Mac App Stores.

Twitter's unexplained revocation of our API access has left the app with no 
path forward. Please read our blog for more information https://t.co/UZSdmqZtMD

— Twitterrific (@Twitterrific) January 19, 
2023

Restricting API access is another incident in a string of current controversies 
purportedly caused by Elon Musk acquiring the 
company
 in October 2022. This particular move is probably focused on preserving 
advertising revenue for the company, as third-party clients often filtered out 
sponsored posts and similar media.

In 
December,
 Twitter began blocking user links to other social platforms. That was rolled 
back after user protest, and it's not clear when or if that will begin again.

Janet,
Life teaches ya’ a little. I have experienced this when I use to use iTunes. 
Your best bet is to go through the playlist on your down time and delete from 
there rather than when you listen to music..

Goodluck,

Now, you could very well be on to something here.  I’ve heard an error message 
several times when playing one of my play list.  I’ve also heard messages about 
this song is no longer available in your country, and then I get an ok button.  
So, if I’m not in the room and hear that message, the song just won’t play, and 
I would think the music stopped.  Thank you for this, as I will need to start

Hi Janet,
There are occasions where artists remove songs from a streaming service. It 
could be a case here with your said playlists. Typically, they are marked as 
error when going through the playlist. You may want to review the playlist and 
delete the song and see if you experience the issues you are having. 
Additionally, it could be a song that you potentially ripped (put onto your 
computer) that can be found via apple music library section. Same can be done 
where you can delete it if there is an error.

Worth a shot here.
Hope that helps.

play list, but not all play list that I have created some years ago.  I’ve 
listened to Apple Music with my Bose Speaker, my Sony 400 Ear Buds, my Power 
Beats Ear Pods, the phone by its self, meaning without any Speakers, and the 
Apple Music still stops playing.  But, like I said only with certain play lists

play list, but not all play list that I have created some years ago.  I’ve 
listened to Apple Music with my Bose Speaker, my Sony 400 Ear Buds, my Power 
Beats Ear Pods, the phone by its self, meaning without any Speakers, and the 
Apple Music still stops playing.  But, like I said only with certain play lists 
 ,  I listen to.  I find this quite unusual as well.  Thank you for your 
encouragement it is greatly appreciated.I think I might need to do 
something to the play lists, just not for sure yet.

Hi Everyone,
I spent some time on the phone today with Apple Support.  I finally got to 
enable Face ID.  What I had to do was hold the phone down close to my lap, and 
holed the phone a little toward the left, and look down at the phone, and then 
Voiceover started reading to me the directions which way to move my head!  I 
was holding the phone strait  out in front of my face, as I usually did to 
enable Face ID, but not this time.  I found this method to be quite unusual, 
but it worked!  The Apple rep and I shared screens, so he could tell me where 
to put the phone.  The Apple rep said that is how the camera is seeing my face. 
 I have to admit, I wouldn’t have ever thought of that!  Now, about my Bose 
Speaker not connecting to Apple Music.  The rep and I did just about everything 
we could think of, we removed the speaker from the phone, reconnected the phone 
back to Bluetooth, checked allThe Bluetooth settings, and nothing would 
work, so then the Apple rep said hey Janet did you check the volume buttons on 
the side of your phone, I said oh ok I will check them, and I pressed the up 
volume button, and sure enough, the Bose Speaker was playing the Apple Music!  
Wow, you talk about feeling like an idiot, I sure did!  The Apple rep and I 
both started laughing!  What a idiot I felt like!

Thank you all so much, as it is greatly so appreciated!

Re: Apple Music and Bluetooth.

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
If you’re only experiencing this with Apple Music, it may be the Apple Music 
quality being too high, causing your Internet to buffer. You can go to your 
Apple settings, followed by music and change the music quality there and lower 
it and see if that helps. You won’t notice much of a difference with your 
speaker and most headphones anyway.

Hi Everyone,
Well, I sent a message to this list just yesterday saying I feel like an idiot, 
but I take that back.  I am still now having the same problem with Apple Music 
and my Bluetooth Speaker, and it is not only with my Bose Sound Color speaker, 
but as well with my Sony Ear Pods, Power Beats, as well as still with my Bose.  
The music just stops playing, and some times I can tap to play again, and some 
times that just doesn’t work, and I pay $10-99 a month for Apple Music!  I 
guess I will have to spend more time with Apple Support tomorrow again! This is 
on Apple, and not my speakers!  So, I’m right back where I started, just 
because I updated to this iOS 16.2 in which I once again hate!  I also have 
problems  with the volume, for the simple fact, I can’t raise the volume, so 
when I am on a important call, the other end can’t hear  me, and I can’t hardly 
hear them!  I keep raising the up volume, but it does no good!  I can’t hear 
any musical tone from Siri, so I don’t know when I can ask him a question.  I 
ask him to set my alarm, and he says I have no clock app, and I can go to the 
App store to download one!  This is getting to be just way to much.  It’s sad 
to have all this happen just because Apple let this get by them.  It just goes 
to show just how much Apple pays attention before sending out the updates!

Re: Apple Music and Bluetooth Help Please.

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi Janet,
Another thing

To consider is checking if there’s new firmware update for your speaker. I know 
you can do this for compatible Bose devices via Bose connect app on iPhone. 
Other than that I imagine you removed the device from your bluetooth settings 
and repaired it already.

Hi Feliciano,
I’ve checked all those Bluetooth settings, and all is well.  I’ve used this 
Bose Speaker with Apple Music for at least 5 years with no problem, until I 
updated to 16.2, in which I  regret!  I’ve signed out of the Apple Music App, 
and signed back in with no different results.  I completely understand minor 
bugs, minor changes, but when it gets to the point of having to erase your 
entire phone, and still the phone doesn’t work like it should, there  is 
something seriously wrong!

Hi Janet,
I understand your frustration as I too have experienced this problem. First, I 
would check the setting that your speaker is set as via Bluetooth settings and 
more info for your speaker. Set that device to speaker as voiceover can behave 
differently if it’s set to another setting.
Secondly, I would recommend that you add audio destination to your rotor as 
your voiceover speech can be sent to the speaker when many prefer voiceover 
speech to be on the iPhone and audio via speaker. You can add audio destination 
via your settings- Settings, accessibility, voiceover followed by rotor.

Hope that helps.

RE: Are my airPods charging? How to tell

[Feliciano Godoy]

Kimberly,
Looks like it's not supported then. I was under the impression that it was. I 
think my old airpods used to show there. My current airpods pro 2 show under 
the batteries section. Another cool thing about airpods pro 2 is that they have 
a speaker on the case so when they are put to charge, they make a sound. 
Additionally, you can ping the case. Just an FYI

Re: Apple TV without a physical screen - Results

[Feliciano Godoy]

I don’t know the technicalities, but based on my research, maybe the arc input 
on the television does the conversion where it strips the video from the TV. I 
just started learning on this from this thread and research.

I’m not sure if it’s supposed to support older, Microsoft Word files,.since you 
have Microsoft Word, you can do a save as and save it as the new word file

Hi,
Just because Apple does not  have  a solution does not mean that there isn’t 
one. People have achieved many solutions with hex like converters. You can try 
the one that I mentioned in the email prior to this.

This device will allow you to utilize your apple tv headless (without a tv)



I bought it on Amazon, it was listed as Cablematters 4k HDMI to audio extractor 
at the time. This particular unit has HDMI input where you would connect the 
Apple TV and has optical and 3.5MM  output which can be connected to TV/ 
headphones/ Speakers for audio only.



Amazon basics also has a version, you just have to make sure it has the outputs 
you need.

 I suspect the answer is that the Apple TV won't care, but short of just 
 trying it, the good folks at Apple could answer your question quickly.



 I don't have a physical Apple TV, I just use the app on my iPhone or our 
 Smart TV in our living room...

 Subject: Apple TV without a physical screen?



 Hi all,



 Does anyone know if the Apple TV will work if it is plugged directly into 
 a  soundbar such as one of the Sonos devices rather than into a  tv and 
 thence to a soundbar?



 I am trying to create a TV sound receiver for a small bedroom and don't 
 want a  full sized TV screen as I can't see it anyway.



 I am suspicious that the Apple TV box will complain because it can't see a 
 display device..



 Thanks



 Gary

What do you mean no support for the app? It takes you to a website where there 
are  contact details. You can reach out regarding the app. If you have

That makes no sense.
And, if you use headphones, it only records through the headphone microphone; 
which means you will only record yourself; which may be fine for what some 
folks want.
It does have a clear tutorial and does indeed work with relative ease.

What is odd is that when you follow the link for app support on the app store

mentioned anywhere.

They do give their email as:

The one clearly negative review said it was only good for recording yourself.  
They tried to use it to record a doctor appointment and heard nothing but 
themselves.

I’ll check the app out since it appears to be free.

Re: Return a purchased app

[Feliciano Godoy]

You can go to the receipt that you received for the app purchase and report a 
bug and go through the process there. If I remember correctly, you can go to 
the App Store follow my my account, then purchases and look for the app there.
The credit card idea, for this circumstance, may not actually be a good idea as 
your bank may block purchases from the App Store.

Re: Choosing betweeen Apple Watch 7 and SE 2

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
Fall detection was introduced with Apple Watch Series 4. As with everything 
technology, I would recommend to purchased the latest that you can afford. This 
is especially true with Apple since devices lose OS support  every four years 
it seems.

Hello,

My wife and I are looking to buy a counter top ice maker and we are wondering 
if anyone makes a machine that is accessible to someone who can’t see. I have 
been researching this on Amazon and the Internet, but I can’t seem to locate 
one that has real buttons instead of a flat panel which we cannot feel the 
difference between the various settings. Is there anyone on the list that has 
been able find such an accessible ice maker?

Thank You,

Re: My update woe for today.

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
I’m curious what your hearing aids are configured as under Bluetooth settings 
on your iPhone. I know the behavior of speakers and headphones change if a 
speaker is set to headphones via its configuration so thought I would bring 
that up. You can go to iPhone settings, Bluetooth settings, find your hearing 
aids and swipe up to find more info double tap, and then choose device type. I 
would try to set them as headphones, if not other and see if that changes 
anything. If anything, play with the different settings.

finally got it back; I had to tell Jim what to punch in for my passcode. Then, 
VOILA, along came Voiceover. It happened that I had Screen Curtain on, so I 
turned it off, and Jim could see that it looked all right. So I had to punch my 
24-character Apple ID, finally got it back.

She got us to press Power Button and Volume Down to try to get it back on. That 
did work. Actually, then, we waited quite a long time, before bringing the 
phone back up. I think she realized that probably my phone was on, but that I 
did not know it, so turn off, then give good wait, and bring it up again. I 
don’t know what would have happened if Jim hadn’t been here and willing to fool 
with it.

I told her that the Voiceover sound not being easily heard had been a problem 
for some time, which was the reason that I turned my phone off. It is working 
now, even Evan came back. I’ve heard some say that their phone defaulted to 
Samantha.

Incidentally, while in this pickle, I called the phone from our landline. It 
rang, but, I could not answer it.

I have just tried with earbuds with Bluetooth off, and stil have to struggle to 
hear anything on the screen while on a call.

Such are some of the vagaries of iOS 16.

Re: Apple accessibility

[Feliciano Godoy]

I’m sure she notated it. Like everything else, sometimes some people have bad 
days. Whenever I report accessibility issues to Apple, I always email them. I 
have found it to be very successful and convenient.
You can also try that if you have doubts, here is their email:
accessibil...@apple.com

You should be able to use Siri to send audio messages with iOS16. I have been

Re: Record audio button has gone in iMessage

[Feliciano Godoy]

You’re welcome. The new audio message location was annoying as I use it daily. 
However, it’s not that big of a deal anymore. Just a bit of an adjustment. 
Also, for the above instructions, don’t forget to activate done button after 
finishing.

Re: Record audio button has gone in iMessage

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi all,
If you are one that uses the audio message feature daily, I would highly 
recommend that you manage the messaging apps. You can remove all the clutter by 
removing the apps that you don’t need and then it won’t be a big deal to leave 
the apps expanded. Follow these instructions to remove apps:
One. Open messages app.
Two. Access one of your context conversations.
Three. Expand apps, if it’s not already.
Four. Scroll through all the apps, until you find more and activate it.
Five. Here, you can swipe up and delete the apps that you don’t need to have in 
this section.

Note: you cannot delete photos and store, but you can remove the rest to 
minimize clutter. This will not delete apps from your phone, simply removes 
these messaging appS from being in the way. You can always add them later by 
following the above steps.
Hope that helps

Re: does the roomba detect stairs?

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
It will fall off stairs if that’s what you’re asking. There are also external 
sensors that can be purchased to prevent this from happening. Mind you, you can 
always place a cane/broom on the floor by the stairs so that it doesn’t go past 
it as well.

Amazon is aware of this issue that many voiceover screen reader users are 
having. I spoke with them and they have several claims regarding the problem 
and have it flagged as an immediate problem so it will be fixed soon.

Hi all.
Is anyone else having trouble with the Amazon app? I don’t even know if I’ve 
done an update recently, it’s not in the list of recently updated apps. But 
when I search for something then pick a result I can’t read anything on the 
page apart from the search bar and bottom buttons. The whole middle bit is gone.
I have limited vision and I can see the page is there to start with but as soon 
as I tap on the screen the whole middle bit just goes blank. I’ve deleted and 
reinstalled the app but it has made no difference.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

Re: Amazon

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
I began having this issue since last Thursday night. I think it’s some thing on 
their end with their server as I had updated the app on October 4 and that 
issue started afterwards. I suggest you report this problem to Amazon 
accessibility. I am only having this problem  on some products with Amazon app 
for iPhone. It works fine with the computer.

Re: I find iOS 15 to be one of the least buggy upgrades in a long time, what are the more significant bugs you still experience?

[Feliciano Godoy]

I am using iPhone 11 with iOS 15.0.1
since iOS 15, when sending an audio message that is over three minutes the 
receiver is getting it as an audio file attachment rather than an iMessage 
audio message

The interesting part is that it is displaying as if it were to be sent as an 
iMessage audio message. The send via SMS When Internet is not available setting 
is turned off on my settings/messages.

As a voiceover screen reader user, I have reported this to Apple Accessibility. 
They were not able to replicate the issue, but we are working together as they 
are asking me several questions. I encourage everyone that is experiencI

The subject sort of says it. I am curious to hear what major bugs people are 
dealing with because I sometimes see statements like "iOS is a mess" and "I 
won't upgrade until some of the bugs have been resolved" etc.
I would encourage people also mention what device they use, my current phone is 
an iPhone 11. Please furthermore be specific instead of saying something "I 
don't like the new Focus feature" since that of course is not a bug but a new 
feature and there will always be things maybe one would wish had stayed as it 
was.

Also, before you mention the issue where Voiceover doesn't sometimes say the 
name of an app in the app switcher when you flick left, try the fix I read 
about and posted: go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn of Reduce 
Motion.
If somebody knows of a good reason why Reduce Motion should be on I'd like to 
hear it and while I don't necessarily disagree that Voiceover should read the 
app names even with this turned on, turning it off is a fix/work-around for now 
especially if it doesn't have any other consequences.

Another issue which was mentioned when Applevis released their warning prior to 
the iOS 15 release about the bugs they experienced or heard about is the one 
where the Wallet app crashes when you flick through your cards/passes. I am 
very curious to hear how many people have this problem. As I said above, I use 
an iPhone 11 and this has never happened to me and I tried it also by turning 
on Voiceover on my wife's iPhone 11 Pro and it also works fine.

Next is the share sheet, once again no issues whatsoever for me, but apparently 
some people say they are having problems.

Lastly, one problem I do come across is that Voiceover mispronounces certain 
things, here are two sample phrases which contain the name of the Canadian 
province where I live:


The British Columbia government says it's making progress...



British Columbia Buy and Sell



It's almost like Voiceover is saying "The B A R British Columbia", difficult to 
exactly make it out and of course if you go word by word it says each word 
correctly.
I should mention that I use the North American SIRI female voice and also have 
the SIRI male voice installed, I haven't installed Samantha to test this, but 
it was not pronounced like this in iOS 14 where I used the same voices.

Best regards,
Sieghard

leave it type of apps. From time to time, you may want to look at it in case

Re: acccessible sprinkler timer

[Feliciano Godoy]

Hi,
I used to have the B Hyve Smart irrigation controller. It was pretty cool, it 
connected to Wi-Fi. There was a mode where you can set it to her you can put it 
on the schedule and based on the weather, if it detected rain, it would go on a 
delay. It would also go on a delay if there was frost coming up. The app used 
to be fairly accessible. I  used to have this unit back in 2019. It cost me 
about $120 in the US. not sure if the app remains accessible with voiceover. It 
has been a while.

myself.

Hi,
It's still there. Nothing has changed. Once you are in the now playing screen, 
on the top, you have more options. Activate that and then go into add to 
playlist and then there you have the option to create a new playlist. from the

Hi Dennis,
This looks like a promising device. Is there any voiceover lag when typing with 
this piece?

Hi folks

The last update is a serious accessibility regression.

FB has made the back-button to leave a posting totally unaccessibile. So to go 
back to your newsfeet after you have reacted or answered a post you can 
nolonger do this.

However there is a workaround by performing the scrub gesture but sometimes 
even this does not work. This can be very frustrated.
These are dark times in which some of us are more dependent on social media 
contacts and news.

So you’d better not update and please do all write to facebook accessibility.

Re: Question about IOS update

[Feliciano Godoy]

There's a flaw with Apple web kit which allows a hacker to remote into your 
device via Safari and execute  code.
This is why it's a big deal.

Not exactly. Past vulnerabilities have been reported in the tech media. This

These security patches are really nothing new.  Apple has issued this kind of
