Not BARD, but if you add books to the reading list in Voice Dream Reader, you

Yes, I've dealt with the Amazon Music app steep decline in volume by removing

Have that a lot. Usually, like you, I can start music and all sound comes
right. Sometimes it does after a little time even if I don't start music. I
think the best way to deal with this is to have a piece of music open and start
playing it by opening and using a two finger double tap. This
I've got an iPhone 8 and the current iOS. When I open the amazon Music app
and try to navigate with voice over, the volume drops way down so I really
can't hear it much at all. Once the music starts, the music is at full
volume. Have any of you dealt with this issue? How did you fix it?
I also liked theYouPlayer APP. But perhaps the developer felt we could
navigate YouTube without it. When it really worked, it was really great for
searching YouTube content and refining our searches. I truly can't recall when
it was last updated, and I couldn't get it to work at all when I
I'm still using it. The search field is a bit flaky, but you can get it to
work. It does look as though it is being discontinued because more and more
things are coming up with errors and it is not because they aren't there.
This is a real shame because I liked that app for its simplicity.
I believe you’re right, I’m running iOS 13, and I don’t even see it in the App
Store.

You wouldn’t even need to remove the cameras, just put tape over them. Seems

It would help if we knew why you wanted a smart phone without a camera.
This information may also be useless, but you could get a smart phone
and just put some tape or a case over the camera lens. I know people who
do this with the camera lens on their laptops.
