Do not update Sonos!

The update to Sonos app is a complete sh*t show! It kind of works with Screen Recognition turned on, but not anywhere as good as before. Without Screen Recognition it is useless. I had my sighted wife look at it and without Screen Recognition, many things that VoiceOver will speak if you

There is a brand called Otterbox. Many stores carry that brand. Here is a link to Amazon: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-se-2022Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience. God stores it on the other side of Hell and you will have to go through Hell to get

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

Well, using iOS 17.4.1 on an iPhone 13 Pro, all books searched for from Bookshare have download next to them. Now, I have not logged out of Bookshare and logged baam in, which one or two people have said they did before the download option disappeared. But it has never been an issue here. Is there

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

Well, I have not logged out of my account in Voice Dream, and when looking at my download history, there was only one book that didn't have a download button following the title. I should say, the word download on the others did not say it was a button, but double tapping it downloaded the

Normally, you simply add enough commas to get to the place you can enter the required number with no punctuation after that. Like, 555-555-,,,0Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience. God stores it on the other side of Hell and you will have to go through

RE: Question about iPhone case

I don’t know if they sell cases, but could it have been ATGuys? I believe that phone is identical in size and button configuration as the iPhone 8. So a case for the 8, SE and SE 2022 should fit. www.atguys.com Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be

RE: [Tech-VI] It appears Sonos is about to become less useable by screen reader users. The CEO should stop it now, but here’s how to protect your investment if he doesn’t – Mosen At Large

I tried writing support, but their support email is “no longer monitored,” so you have to go through their web interface to contact them. That is not very good either. Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster. Either you're

RE: [Tech-VI] It appears Sonos is about to become less useable by screen reader users. The CEO should stop it now, but here’s how to protect your investment if he doesn’t – Mosen At Large

After reading Jonathan’s whole post, this sounds like that is a sighted person saying it is accessible, but to what degree sounds very much in question. If double tapping on the System button does nothing, then this will be awful. I do not plan to update immediately, but wait and see what

Re: Can't Add Bookshare Books to VoiceDream

I just searched for a book, and all the results had the download button and I downloaded a book. Since you were also having the issue of not being able to rewind, delete etc., perhaps you need to delete the app and install it again. If you have sync library using iCloud on, you should be able

RE: looking for an app

It could be in a folder, and I don’t know what that would be called. You could try touching in the middle of the home screen, then swipe down with three fingers and bring up the spotlight search. Write reminders and see if it shows you where it is, or at least lets you open it. You could

I do not know if this is related, but those with newer phones that are having this issue, have you dug into the newer, deeper levels of notification settings? Under messages, there is the Notification Grouping, and a separate customize notifications setting. Under VoiceOver, there is also the
