RE: Need Accessible App for Apartment Intercom System
We have a Ring Doorbell and one of their other cameras and it works OK, but it's also a bit strange when somebody rings the doorbell and you tap on the notification sound along with Voiceover goes to the earpiece and then it's very hard to hear and you still have to tap the microphone button before you can actually speak with the person. I find half the time I'm too slow and by the time I get thew app open and I'm ready to speak the person who rang the bell already left. Anyways, it wouldn't be a replacement for a system like you described where it allows you to unlock the doors and so on.

RE: Need Accessible App for Apartment Intercom System
I am definitely talking to my apartment management & their IT person. Meanwhile, I do not have screen recognition turned on. I’m not sure it will help as it seems I have to have voice over off before the intercom app will open once I’ve answered the phone. I’d like to try it though. Where can I find it to turn it on? I looked through accessibility & didn’t find it. I did a search for screen recognition under settings & it sent me to quick settings voice over. I didn’t find it there either. I am using an IPhone 8 with current IOS, 16.6.
