Re: System sounds lower in iOS 17
Wayne, I have my alert sounds at 100% and I play haptics with sounds. I don't like doing this way, it makes me think I'm losing my hearing. But I've missed notifications before. Never a call, because it seems like the phone ringers haven't decreased in volume, but in particular, the default tones for in coming texts and push notifications doesn't seem to be as loud as with previous versions of iOS, so if the phone is across the room and I get a text, I at least have the vibration sound to fall back on. I currently have my VO volume set to 40%, but volume is in my rotor, so I can easily adjust it either through the rotor or with the side button. Unfortunately, I don't have a better solution.

Re: Be My Eyes is not working
Hmm, I just tried at 5:50 AM Central time in the U.S. and it's working for me. There's nothing about Be My AI pending, either. I signed up for the beta and was approved in less than 48 hours, and this was earlier in the week. This was with the AI function, and not calling a volunteer. If everyone is having an issue with the AI, maybe it's just the app trying to finalize getting the feature out to everyone. Just a guess. Hopefully things get up and running.

Re: Questions regarding notifications on locked screen
Hi, Terri. I suspect the issue is with SIRI announcing notifications while the screen is locked. To fix this go to settings, Accessibility, then to SIRI. In this menu is a button that says Announce Notifications On Speaker. If it says on, double tap it to turn it off. This will keep SIRI from speaking notifications while your screen is locked. You'll still get your sounds, though.

Re: Pro vs Max
Mich, I upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 14 Pro. My reasoning was that there wasn't really anything I needed on the 15 model. yes, it has a better camera, but for the purposes of OCR and general photos it didn't matter to me. It is a bit thinner than my old 12 Pro. coming from an iPhone 8 the 14 would be a huge improvement. Oh, and my carrier gave me $700 off on my trade in, so I have just under $300 for the 14 Pro, which I will probably pay off long before the three years is up. Even paying taxes, you're still getting a good deal and the 14 will be able to take updates for several years. Also, the lightening cables still work with it, though I did have to get a USBC charging brick.

Re: VDScan and iOS 17 issues
Hi, Richard. Sadly, yes. I wrote to Winston on Thursday morning and he got back to me this morning. Neither his update nor the 17.0.1 update has corrected the issue. VO tells me the app is opening, but it doesn't. However, the app is in the app switcher. I've tried several hard resets and I've completely removed and re-downloaded the app. It's like the app isn't completely opening or something. Winston asked me if I had any odd settings tweaked on my phone and I do not, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for.. I hope that enough of us with this issue can help him find a solution.

Re: Possible Bug in BARD app since iOS 17 Upgrade
Well, normally, I don't upgrade so soon, but I read over the list of bugs and none of them seem to be ones that would impact me. The tone adjustment issue isn't a deal breaker, but I just so happened to start an older book that was digitized from a worn out analog copy and really needed to clarify the narration as much as possible. Apparently no one needed to do this during the beta process, or there just aren't that many VO users testing iOS software. I know I won't do it because I only have one iPhone and no other Apple products. Looks like an upgrade to the BARD app is in order.

Re: today's Apple Event
Hi, Bill. I just upgraded from a 12 Pro to a 14 Pro. I read the rumors about the new iPhones and decided the 14 Pro would be enough of an improvement from my old phone. It's faster, naturally, and the updated LiDar is neat, but otherwise, it wasn't a a huge step up from the 12 Pro phone. The only major difference with the 15 models would be no lightening cable. Even with the 14 Pro, the cable has a lightening tip at one end and a USB-C tip at the other end. I had to get a charging brick for it at Verizon because the older ones with the larger USB ports wouldn't work. Oh, and that was the other deal breaker. . .

Re: How do I say to Lazarillo where I want to go?
Hi.
There are two ways to add an address to your favorites list with Lazarillo.
First, When you search for an address, there may be one or more options
corresponding to that particular address or place. Swipe through the
listed options and double tap on the correct one.
This will open a new screen. The first button VO lands on is the add to
favorites button. Double tap this button and the address will be added
to your favorites. The address will now be shown when you select the
favorites tab.
The second way to add an address is to double tap the Favorites tab,
then swipe to the Add favorite button and double tap it.
Now you have the choice to either add the exact address or use the GPS
coordinates for the address. You can add the exact address by double
tapping the Add Favorite by Address button. This will place you in a
search field where you can type the address or enter a place name. This
is identical to using the search button, but the address is
automatically added to your favorites.
I hope this helps a bit.

Hi, Rena.
You will need to clear the search field by swiping to and double
tapping the clear text button. Once you do that, you can conduct
another search as before.
As far as I know, there is no history of previously searched for
addresses when using the search field. However, you can add those
addresses to your favorites so you can view them again.
You have the option to add every address you view as a favorite.
This way you can review the places you've looked at.
Hope this helps.

Re: How do I say to Lazarillo where I want to go?
Rena, When you open Lazarillo, you have several buttons that allow you to interact with the app. Swipe right until you ear search and activate that button. I would assume your normal Bluetooth keyboard commands would apply here as all of the buttons are labeled correctly and the search field is a regular search field. When entering an address you can be very specific; you can include the whole street address, town with city and state and the zip/postal code, if you know it.

Looking for GPS with Intersection Description
Hi, all. I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro and iOS 16.2. I'm looking for a GPS app that gives good descriptions of intersections, including distance to the intersection. Today I tried Lazarillo, and while it's reasonably accurate, it will announce an approaching intersection at least 150 feet away from the actual crossing. It also doesn't indicate what type of intersection I'm approaching. I'm exploring a new neighborhood without much traffic or pedestrians, so this information would be good to have. Is there a GPS that will do this that works well with VO? TIA, Lisa -- Lisa Belville missktlab1...@frontier.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Messages failing to send
Hi, all. I updated my iPhone 12 Pro to iOS 16.2 a couple of days ago. Since then I can't use SIRI to send a message from the lock screen; All messages get a failure to send notice. I've checked that SMS and MMS messages are able to be sent/received, but still no joy. I cannot even reply to a message someone has sent me. The only way to reliably send messages now appears to be directly from the messages app using dictation. Did I miss something, or is this just another annoyance apple thought was a good idea? Having to open the messages app every time I want to send a message is really time consuming and inefficient.

Take a 5 minute walk, and see how far you walk. Then multiply that distance by 12, and that will give you an estimate of how far you would walk in an hour. For example, if you walk a half of a mile in 5 minutes, then one half a mile times 12, is 6 miles. So as long as you walk at that same speed, you are walking at 6 miles an hour. Hope this helps.

Re: My update woe for today.
Carolyn, I don't use hearing aids, but I've had this issue with VO being at a very low volume during a phone call. What I've started doing is pressing the side button three times to turn VO off once the call is picked up at the other end, and then immediately press it three times to restart VO. Usually VO will come back on at whatever volume I had it set to when I made the phone call. It's faster than trying to find the rotor and not being able to hear VO. Hope this helps.

This problem has been discussed on the Blind Hearing Aid Users' List; I am not the only person having the problem.

Hi, all. I'm trying to send a 135 MB attachment to someone with an android phone. They don't do Drop box or any other sharing service. If I use mail drop and it's in iCloud, can they view the video? I thought a link was emailed to me that I could send. Is this how mail drop works or do I have it all wrong?

Using iPhone to shoot and edit video
Hi, all. I am applying for a successor guide dog, and the school needs me to make a video showing my home area and places I walk. I was planning to turn VO off and let a sighted person use my iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 15. The person recording the video has an iPhone, but she's not particularly tech savvy. Firstly, is it possible to pause the recording of a video and then restart recording from within that same video at a later time? We won't be able to film all of the places I need in the same day, and the school would prefer a single video rather than several separate ones. Also, they don't need to see me do an entire route, just the places that give them an idea about how curbs, sidewalks and intersections are, so it would be great if we could pause and restart recording as needed. If this can't be done, how much video editing can be done on the phone. If we can't stop and resume recording without starting a new video someone will need to do this and I don't think I can do it well as a totally blind person. Also, I experimented with the default iPhone settings and made a video that was just under four minutes that was over 400 MB. Is there a setting I can adjust that would make this smaller without interfering with the quality? I'm concerned about size because I will need to upload them to the school and I don't have the fastest upload speeds. I hope I have explained this clearly. Making these videos for guide dog schools can be a pain, but it has helped me in the past. I've just never used an iPhone to do it before.

Re: Sunrise and sunset
Hi, Kay. I noticed with the past few updates that there's a message about this the first few times I open the app. Weather Gods just did some massive overhaul of their app including switching over to new servers. As a result, many of the notifications are spotty or nonexistent no matter how many times settings are adjusted. I'm not sure how they're ironing things out. I live in a small town in southern IL, so I imagine my weather isn't as important for notification as a larger area. I saw the sunrise/sunset notification come in yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks, but it was several hours later than my notification is scheduled for. I'm hoping they get it fixed because I really miss knowing those things. Lisa Belville missktlab1...@frontier.com On 4/8/2022 1:30 AM, Kay Malmquist wrote: This one is about Weather God's.

Re: Amazon help please desperately needed.
Hi, Jenny. It seems Amazon has added the subscribe and save option to most products now. The first time I noticed it was when I bought a pair of headphones.

Using Markup for eSignatures
Hi, all. I have to submit some forms on line and they need a universal signature. I have no way to do this with a PC, so tried the web site using my iPhone 12 Pro. They wanted me to use something called Markup by apple for signing my signature and the date. How does this work, and can a totally blind person install and use the app accurately? The link I was directed to for more information about Markup was from apple and opened in Safari on my phone, but it was a .png file, so I couldn't even read the information. This is a small nonprofit, so yelling at them for a lack of accessibility won't get me very far, plus this is a time sensitive thing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: an Instacart question
Yes, I too have noticed this with the past few updates. It only happens in the chat area of the app and makes having a detailed conversation with a shopper impossible. As far as responsiveness goes, yes, sad, but true. A few months ago I gave them a poor review specifically due to the deteriorating accessibility. Ironically, one of the issues I mentioned, that of the correct number of stars being spoken when rating a delivery experience was corrected soon after that review. I would like to think that tiny review had something to do with it, but I'm probably deluding myself.

Greg, I can understand why you don't use it. I haven't had much luck with it and I don't just use apps people say are accessible. I think there needs to be some other response given by VO if screen recognition is turned on in an app where it's not necessary. Maybe a dialog with a button saying Turn off for this app. I know it would have saved me some time and frustration.

Weird Voice Dream Reader issue
Hi, all. Using Voice Dream Reader version 4.13.12 on iPhone 12 Pro still running iOS 14.8. I fell asleep using VDR last night. When I woke up a few hours later and tried resuming the book, the app seemed to be running, but I only got the status bar. I closed the app, cleared out the app switcher, and tried opening it several times and still the status bar. I tried shutting the phone off and powering it back on, then I tried doing a hard reset. For this I pressed volume up, volume down, and held down the side button for about 30 seconds. The phone rebooted just fine both times. I usually have the phone locked and charging on my night stand and simply power off my Bluetooth headphones before going to sleep, so the phone was charging, and app was running the entire time. I don't have automatic updates on, and in any case there isn't an update for VDR. This doesn't seem to be an iPhone issue. The only thing I can think to do is to uninstall the app and do a fresh install. Oh, yes, I know there's an iOS update, but I've got several family members with Covid, so I'm trying to keep my phone on without messing things up with a new update. Any thoughts?

Re: Reading an OLED display with an iPhone and an OCR app
Hi, Mary. I have an iPhone 12 Pro and use Seeing AI and even Voice Dream Scanner to read displays. Seeing AI works best on a monitor when using the short text channel, but it's been my experience that it doesn't do well with larger chunks of text. This is where Voice Dream Scanner does a surprisingly good job. I've used it to read monitors, the LCD display on my infrared heater, and a flat screen TV. For the monitor and the TV I turn off the flashlight first because I figure the glare would blur the image. The larger the size, the easier it can be, especially if you have an idea where the text is appearing.

Re: Instacart Still not fixed with latest update
Hi, Paula. this is good to know. The difference with the replacements screen that appears after check out is that it lists products that are definitely running low, If you close and re-open the app after placing an order, can you see which specific products needed replacing or do you have to go through everything in that order and suggest replacements, refunds, etc.? Lisa Belville missktlab1...@frontier.com On 9/30/2021 7:54 AM, Paula Mack wrote: This issue still exists in IOS15, but the workaround for putting in your replacements is to wait until after you check out. Just ignore all the replacement stuff and everything. Close Instacart. Then when you open it again, go to orders, choose that order and then go to where you can view or edit items.

Re: Switch to default layout large button on right of on screen keyboard?
Hi, Alan. Just a shot in the dark here, I think it has something to do with how the keys are arranged on the soft keyboard. If you go into settings, keyboard, and double tap a button saying "Keyboards" and then a number. For me it says "Keyboards, 2" because I have U.S. English and Emoji. Once you open this, you should see English U.S. by default. Now double tap on the U.S. English and see which options are available. The default is QWERTY. there are other layouts, though. Some people find it easier to type on them. I've been with QWERTY since I started typing when I was eight. No way I could switch to something else and I can't imagine anyone just doing it on the fly as that button implies. Like I said, shot in the dark since it seems the option for the numbers, symbols, etc. is where it normally is.

Is anyone familiar with this large button and which default layout it will switch to if I execute it? Thanks in advance for your help.

It can give alerts for just about any weather event you can think of.
I paid $4.99 a few years ago. They have changed their purchase

believe they are subscription based, I think it's just a one time payment.

Hi.
I'm not using iOS 15 yet, but I've always found the native weather
app to be a pain. I use Weather Gods. It's accessible and very
customizable. There are also sounds for each type of weather
event, even fog. The sounds can be configured to reflect the
current conditions, such as a slight breeze or a hurricane force
wind. The sounds are also customizable and can be disabled
easily. It's also very accurate. I get notifications twice daily
about sunrise and sunset, as well as a summary of the weather at 6
AM. The summaries and sun notifications can be set up to notify
you at a time of your choosing. It also has detailed moon phase as
well as moon rise and set info. Call me a nerd, but I like this.
I believe it is $4.99, but I seem to remember there being a trial
period. The developer is very receptive to feedback and often
mentions Voice Over improvements in the update summaries.

Re: Weather.
I've had Dark Sky on my phone for years. I find that it's not as accurate for predicting precipitation in my immediate area. I've made sure the correct location is set, but Weather Gods is more consistent and I just like the lay out of Weather gods better. I'm curious to see what goodies Apple will include for Dark Sky, though.

Re: emergency alerts
Hi. Are all of you using the same weather app? Different apps have different ways they can push out alerts. some let you customize when an alert is pushed out. With some you can have it notify you if a watch/warning is in your general area as well as very close weather like pop up storms. Your daughter may have her phone set to alert if something is definitely happening in your immediate area. If all else fails, put all three phones die by side and compare settings.

Re: Face recognition
There is a setting called Attention that doesn't require you to be looking directly at the phone. It's under Face ID Pass Code and Attention is the first or second heading on that page. I'm mentioning it because if you may not be able to visually look at the phone, i.e. make direct eye contact with the screen reliably, this setting could help make Face ID work for you. I plan to use it when I set up Face ID. I've never tried setting up a pass code, but one thing I'd try is making sure my hands and screen were clean, just so nothing interferes with your fingers making direct contact.

Face Id works so well and reliably and I'm sure you can get somebody to help you set it up. As far as the clock instructions are concerned, are you not able to imagine a clock face, e.g. a circle where 12 O'clock is at the top, 6 O'clock is at the bottom, 3 o'clock is on the right side (between 12 and 6) and 9 o'clock is on the left side? You could also use the analogy of a 2-dimensional Globe/representation of the Earth with the cardinal directions North (up) East (to the right), South (down) and West (to the left). All you have to do when you set up Face Id, this is a one-time process, is to hold the phone straight in front of your face, then when prompted look a bit to the right, then down, then left and back up. Like I said, I'm sure somebody could help you with it and once it's done turn off attention mode which for some blind people is better if they can't really focus on the screen and you are good to go. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: September 21, 2021 5:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Face recognition If I get an iPhone with face ID, I won't use it.

Re: App for counting steps
Hi. I have used Pedometer ++ on the original iPhone SE and now on the 12 Pro and I haven't noticed foot tapping or keyboard use adding to step count. I've experimented with this before and the only times steps register is when the phone is in a pocket or on the waste area, like it would be in a holster or in a fanny pack. I can't speak about the native pedometer because I've never used it, but the Pedometer ++ app is accessible and has worked well for me.

Re: Easy access to battery information on a Bluetooth device
Hi, Barbara. I was having problems with this, too. Mike, B. saved this message from Rita about adding widgets and moving between screens. One thing I can tell you for sure is you can't be on the status line or at the bottom of the screen, you need to be sort of in the left or right edge on your phone between the status bar and the bottom of the screen. Also, when moving around on your today screen, you can navigate by headings to get to a set of widgets. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, so it might be a little different. Also, I make sure Vo Sounds are enabled because I know right away when I'm able to make a change or drag something. Here are the original directions Mike reposted. Hi Lisa, Check out the following: From: Rita Howells How to Add Widgets to Your Home Screen in iOS 14: Rita's iDevice Advice for September 28, 2020 A new feature of iOS 14 is the extra widget options you can add to your Home screen. Adding these can range from fun, such as adding featured photos, to useful, such as having the weather front and center for your daily planning. With widgets, you get timely information from your favorite apps at a glance. With iOS 14, you can use widgets on your Home Screen to keep your favorite information at your fingertips. Or you can use widgets from Today View by swiping right from the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Note: These instructions were written for sighted persons, who are not using voiceOver. If you are using VoiceOver: when the instructions say "Tap on an item", perform a one finger double tap. 1. Unlock your iPhone if it is locked. 2. Press your Home screen until the icons start to wiggle. 3. Tap the Add button in the top left corner. 4. Apple will suggest widgets. If your desired widget is there, tap it. 5. If you don't see the widget you want to add, scroll down or use the search bar at the top of the feature. 6. Tap Add Widget. Select a widget, choose from three widget sizes, then tap Add Widget. 7. Tap Done. You can also add Widgets from the "Today View". From Today View, touch and hold a widget until the quick actions menu opens, then tap Edit Home Screen. Drag the widget to the right edge of the screen until it appears on the Home Screen, then tap Done. If you do not want to add Widgets to any of your screens of apps, you can Add them to the "Today" View on your iPhone: Add widgets to Today View. 1. Touch and hold a widget or an empty area in Today View until the apps jiggle. 2. Tap the Add button gray plus icon in the upper-left corner. 3. Scroll down to select a widget, then choose from three widget sizes. 4. Tap Add Widget, then tap Done. With iOS 14, you can customize your widgets. For example, you can edit the Weather widget to see the forecast for your current location or a different location. 1. Touch and hold a widget to open the quick actions menu. 2. Tap Edit Widget Edit Widget icon 3. Make your changes, then tap outside of the widget to exit. You can also move your widgets around to put your favorites where they are easier to find. Just touch and hold a widget until it jiggles, then move the widget around on the screen. Use widget stacks: With iOS 14, you can use widget stacks to save space on your Home Screen and in Today View. You can use Smart Stacks or create your own widget stacks. Create a Smart Stack: A Smart Stack is a pre-built collection of widgets that displays the right widget based on factors like your location, an activity, or time. A Smart Stack automatically rotates widgets to show the most relevant information throughout the day. Here's how to create a Smart Stack: 1. Touch and hold an area on your Home Screen or in Today View until the apps jiggle. 2. Tap the Add button gray plus icon in the upper-left corner. 3. Scroll down and tap Smart Stack. 4. Tap Add Widget. Create your own widget stacks: 1. Touch and hold an app or empty area on the Home Screen or Today View until the apps jiggle. 2. Drag a widget on top of another widget. You can stack up to 10 widgets. 3. Tap Done. Edit a widget stack: 1. Touch and hold the widget stack. 2. Tap Edit Stack. From here, you can reorder the widgets in the stack by dragging the grid icon three gray lines You can also turn on Smart Rotate if you want iOS to show you relevant widgets throughout the day. Or swipe left over a widget to delete it. 3. Tap gray x icon for remove when you're done. Remove widgets : 1. Touch and hold the widget that you want to remove. 2. Tap Remove Widget. 3. Tap Remove again to confirm.

Re: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.
Hi, Carolyn. You can do this, but it is tricky. I usually use a headset as has been suggested. I also try to adjust the volume of voice over so there's a way to hear both the speech and the caller. Sometimes it helps to use a male voice if speaking to a female and vice versa. You should be able to do all of the things you listed while on a phone call. I've gotten texts before, and depending on the volume, the Voice over usually drowns out the person's speaking. Like I said, it does take some practice.

Happy Update was Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone
Ah, if only I had seen this last night. My sister was over last evening and she removed the case. Everything was bone dry, so she just had to plug it in. There was a brief notification from the phone saying there was water in the lightening port, so charging wouldn't happen. I kept the phone in a bag of oatmeal all night and went to the Verizon store this morning. They looked at the SIM card and tested the charging and all was well. The Verizon rep also reminded me about the depth and length of time an iPhone could be under water and still survive. It's nice to know, but I'm not going to be dunking my phone into anything wet any time soon. Lisa, who's off to find a water proof case that also looks nice. I know, good luck with that.

Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone
Simon, my sister was over here helping me look for rice. I had none, but a short Google search suggested oatmeal or even couscous. I decided to go with the oatmeal. I put the phone in a ziplock bag and it's currently sitting on my dryer that's been running for a couple of hours. The phone was working just fine before I powered it off. The ominous thing is that my sister insisted plugging it in was safe even though I reminded how electricity and water didn't mix, yadayada. She had removed the case and everything was bone dry. The phone connected, but a message popped up saying the lightening charging wasn't available because the phone detected water in the charging port. we unplugged the phone and I gave it a gentle shake. There was a slight mist of water that came out of the port. It wasn't even two or three drops, just a mist. I'm cautiously confident at this point.

Re: Help, What to do about a briefly submerged phone
Yes, this was the case for me. I don't think all of the phone even
touched the water, but it's a long phone, so I believe the bottom
portion containing the speakers and of course the lightening port got
wet. It didn't seem to retain a great deal of water. Right now I'm
confident, but it's my only phone, so I'm still having to use it, at
least for a few more hours.

Re: Help needed with Logitech H800 headset and where to find USB dongle
Alan, depending on how your friend uses her headset, she might not need to mess with storing the dongle. I used mine as both Bluetooth and USB, so the dongle was always plugged in to my USB hub, and I would just move the selector switch to either Bluetooth or USB as needed. Lisa .

Re: Doordash App
Hi, Terri. Yes, Door Dash hasn't been very user friendly toward Voice over users for about a month now. The one reliable work around for me is to go to the search tab and choose a category from the list of categories, which are presented as buttons. This is the only way I can get the app to display a list of restaurants without constantly having to do a three finger swipe up and down. This is hardly a satisfactory solution, but it does let you scroll through what's available, and it makes it possible to browse a menu and place an order.

It seems as though the App keeps refreshing or something. It is very annoying! We use this App sometimes several times a month. So it makes it a problem when I struggle to use it. I have also noticed that I struggle to add items to the cart, when I am trying to work with previous orders we have placed. However, I have gotten this to work a few times.

One thing I can't figure out is how to get a widget on the home screen that gives me the status for batteries other than the iPhone. I had this on my old SE, but I don't remember how I did it, it just worked, and it recognized new Bluetooth devices as I added them. By home screen, I mean the page one that can be accessed without unlocking the phone. I've located and added my weather and news widgets, but coming up blank on the one for Bluetooth battery status.

Update was iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
Hi, all. thanks for the opinions and advice regarding a new iPhone. I would have replaced the battery in my original SE, but the last certified store in my area that replaced iPhone batteries was Best Buy and they closed in February. I decided on the iPhone 12 Pro. the max was just too big for me. Verizon had promotions on all of the iPhone 12 models for existing customers, so that's what I went with. Everything has been set up and transferred over. I do have another question which I'll ask in a separate thread. So far, though, I'm liking the phone and except for the nonexistent home button, everything is working swimmingly.

iPhone 12 Pro Max questions
Hi, all. My poor iPhone SE is on it's last legs, bad battery, etc. This is the original SE purchased in the spring of 2017. I'm looking at either the iPhone 12 Pro or the 12 Pro Max. I like the size of the SE 2020, but I need a good battery, and it seems like the SE 2020 and the iPhone 12 mini fall a bit short. What are people's experiences with the iPhone 12 Pro Max? I know there's no home button, but how easy is it to unlock the screen as a totally blind person? Was it difficult getting used to the larger screen? TIA for the info.

Re: Parcel track.
Hi. It's needing you to indicate what the carrier is. Usually it can figure this out, but if not you can double-tap on the carrier field and there will be a listing of carriers who use tracking numbers similar to the one you are using. Once you choose the carrier and have entered the other information, swipe to save and double tap that and you should be all set. I have to do this when using shipments from Federal Express or USPS sometimes because they occasionally use the same tracking numbers starting with the number nine. The Email saying your order was shipped should give you the exact name of the carrier.

So yesterday I ordered Jesse and Peggy‘s treats. I got the notification in my email that the stuff has shipped. So hot here is what I’ve done so far but it did not work. I copied the tracking number. Then I opened a ParcelTrack referring to the app. After that I selected the text and then pasted it and then I clicked right to where it said content and I typed in dog treats. Then after that I feel it right and I think that’s one of the tracking number so I pasted that and then I went to save it for some reason I don’t remember what the message was that voiceover said but it basically didn’t work on what I did. So hopefully somebody will be able to help me. I was I’m trying to get used to doing it like Matt did so I know when the stuff is going to be live delivered that I ordered for example Thursday my coffee and dish washer detergent is coming. From Amazon. So it would be cool to track that as well oh I remember one of the things when it said carrier I typed in US PS Thanks for your prompt attention!

Re: Podcast question
Hi, Steve. If there is a way to completely rewind to the end or beginning of a podcast in Downcast I can't find it, either and I've been using the app for several years. But you can move back in forth in various increments that might help. While your podcast is playing in Downcast, move to the top of the screen with a four finger single tap. Now you can swipe right to a Rewind fifteen and a rewind 30 seconds button. The next two right swipes move to fast forward 30 seconds and 2 minutes buttons. Two more right swipes takes you to an episode play position slider This will move you back or forward in increments of around four minutes in either direction. Why the option to move in larger increments isn't located next to the other movement buttons is beyond me. You can also move fifteen seconds forward or backward using the buttons on the lock screen. hope this helps some.

Re: Instacart
Marie, Their support department suggestions are just bizarre. I use Instacart all of the time with several apps open and this doesn't do anything to the usability of the app. Just out of curiosity, have you tried using the Instacart web site to place the order?

They also said I shouldd close all other apps. I’m not sure why this would make a difference as the apps are in sleep mode. Anyway I’lll try Lisa’s suggestions next time I place an order.

Tammy -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Marie Lyons Sent: Saturday, June 20, 2020 11:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Instacart I have been unable to place my order for at least a month. I had Apple pay set up on my iPhone 11. I had been running iOS 3.4 something. Would choose my delivery time and then double tap the place order button. It would give me a message to please choose my delivery time. I called Apple support and they confirmed I had selected my delivery time. They tried to assist me by turning off v/o and then placing the order but we were unsuccessful. They were able to find me a phone number for Instacart support. I had to change my payment method so they could place the order. Subsequently, I tried to place orders and the button to place the order was dim. I had updated to 3.5.1 in the meantime but I am still unable to place my orders. Is anyone having similar issues using v/o with Instacart?
