Actually, I'm talking about the clicking sounds I hear when I am swiping through apps on my home screen etc. I can change the volume of VoiceOver, but this doesn't seem to effect the volume of the clicking sounds. I can turn off sound effects, but I would like to have the sounds, just at a

Hi sieghard, Well, some people say that they don't have real problems with PDF documents on the Mac. And that is true, so long as what you want to do is read a regular sort of plain-vanilla PDF. But I have never had any luck with tables in a PDF file, and others seem to think the same thing.

Answer to decreasing the clicking sounds in iOS 8

2014-11-21 Thread Neal Ewers
Well, I have discovered one thing that makes a real difference in how loud the clicking sounds are relative to VoiceOver speech. When audio ducking is off, the sounds are much louder than the speech. When audio ducking is on, they are much much softer. I don't think there is a volume adjustment

OK, I found the answer. She used to understand “Read last message.” That bit of speech has gone out of her mind. You have to say something like, “Do I have any unread messages?” Now she will read the messages you have, and not just the last one which she used to do. So, improvement, but one has

It is all connected with your system volume, more is the pity. I keep my phone low during my work week, but on days off I need to turn the volume for ringers and alerts up and that also increases any other sounds such as the sounds made when flicking through apps etc. I have tried for years

Richard, but I think that is the point. The internal microphone will sound so much better not being processed through Apple’s compressors, etc. You may not need an external microphone unless you want to record in stereo. I’ll check out the app. It does more than I need, so I hope it is easy
