Re: Edit Mode

Hello Reg. In iOS 11 you can opt to have the edit mode turned on or off with VoiceOver. If it is on, then you just have to flick up/down on an app or folder on a home screen and VoiceOver will announce editing. If the option is turned off, then you will have to double tap and hold to turn on

RE: KNFB Reader v. Seeing AI

Would be nice if KNFB would also include an instant mode where it reads what the camera sees without having to interact with the phone. I also find that in many situations the short text channel in the Seeing AI app does all the OCR I need. From: viphone@googlegroups.com

I do put company names in the company field, but I also put them in the last name field because otherwise SIRI will not call them. I guess you could put them only in the last name field and, for that matter, it's probably fine to put them in the first name field instead, but for my sense of how

Not to rain on your parade, but there still are things which are better done on a computer bluetooth keyboard or not and in my opinion word processing and spreadsheets are in that category. Actually, email and web browsing for me are as well. I can read, compose and reply to email so fast on my

Hi, In my opinion, Skype has become very difficult to use on the map. It’s still OK on the iPhone. I really like using Zoom from Zoom.us it has a lot of great keyboard shortcuts on the Mac, and works excellently with voiceover on the iPhone. The only drawback is that a group call is cut

Hi, I mentioned the company field silliness. I believe it has always been this way. I’m not sure why they have a company name field if Siri doesn’t use it. Putting the company in first or last name, works great. Glad that helped. Richard (Sent from the iPod Touch 6) On Jan 19, 2018, at 1:22

Re: KNFB Reader v. Seeing AI

That is not my experience at all. But, if you do not care about document layout, then KNFB is faster. With the Short Text mode, once it starts reading the page, point the camera to a blank spot on your desk, because the entire point of the short text mode is to read on the fly, so any movement

So, I'm now working in a court and have to deal with lots of paper documents. So I am using OCR much more. This has given me the chance to really compare KNFB Reader (which I honestly hadn't used much even though I bought it) and Seeing AI. My conclusion: KNFB still beats Seeing AI for

In my very biased opinion, Pages is useless on the iDevices. Possibly it could work with a Bluetooth keyboard, but unti Apple figures out how to truly make Pages work with VoiceOver so it actually reports where the heck you are in a document, I'm not sure even a keyboard would help. Richard
