Review: ESpeak Use on IPhone

Hello all: For what this is worth, this is just a review of the ESpeak TTS on IOS. (As with all betas, this is a work in progress.) I wanted to share my experiences, simply to spread awareness with the group on what does and doesn't work as yet with the multilingual, yet no-footprint voices. *

Katriona,    A couple  of weeks ago, I made the same  upgrade as you and can identify with your frustrations. First thing I did was set "home" as the macro for a double tap on the back of the phone. When I am in the control centre, especially by mistake, I find that I can get out by a scrub

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 8 to the 13 pro max and I don't miss the home button one bit. I have very little trouble going from home to app switcher. One thing that helped me get a hang of the home button gesture, is don't press your finger so hard on the screen when doing the gesture.

To add extension to contact: 1. Press Edit in upper right corner of the contact you want to add extension. 2. Flick to phone number. 3. Double tap to get the cursor at the end. 4, type a comma right after the phone number (Shift on 7). 5. Type extension. 6. Press Done at the top right. That's

After double tapping on an edit field like for a text message or email, on the on screen keyboard, if you find the space bar and swipe one time to the left, it should say the next keyboard in your list of keyboards. Most of the time this should be the emoji keyboard. By double tapping this,

Thanks Joshua for the tip about not pressing too hard; it appears I may have been a bit heavy handed, so I'm trying to do better in that regard. As I wrote in my reply to Sandy, things are getting some easier, and the scrub gesture helps so much. It may take me and my old/tired hands a minute

Hi Sandy, I feel so silly for not thinking about the scrub gesture to get out of the App Switcher, Control Center, etc. I even used the scrub gesture a time or two today for other things…it just didn’t enter my mind that this could be a solution for some of my issues today.  Thank you so

It does take a bit of practice. Your touch can't be completely light with no pressure at all, but just a very small amount of pressure. To much pressure deffinately does not work. I never did figure out how to do the scrub gesture. On 11/7/22, Carolyn <4carol...@windstream.net> wrote: > Amen

As Carolyn says, you want to double tap on the shift key, which is in the lower left hand corner just below the 7 key. Now the 7 key will become the comma and the 9 key will become the semicolon. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -Original Message- From:
