Re: A Question for iOS Focus Blue Users

Mark, I know that the customization episode is in the blindside podcast right before he talks about the iPhone 10. The episode about the galaxy may be there around too. As to your second question, I don't believe you can use the routing buttons but you can use the rocker switches and panning

Believe me Mike! I have done all that, both vocally and with the keyboard, but she[Karen] , stubbornly, refuses to say chess, though she has no trouble saying less/mess/dress etc. I wonder if I wrote chuess as in guess, if that might persuade her? it, certainly, sends Jaws into a tailspin!

I was looking back through some of my saved messages, when I came across Richard's on correcting Siri's pronounciation of names. Siri says my name beautifully, but I want to get voice-over to say chess, rather than chiss. Aussie Karen says * less with no problem, so why can't she say *
