Exactly, but Apple will of course not allow you to completely replace SIRI with 
the Google Assistant.

You can make a Siri shortcut that will open the Google assistant so that from 
anywhere, you can say whatever the phrase is that you gave to your Shortcuts 
and the Google assistant will open and you can do what you would normally do 
with the Google assistant.

RE: Smart Beetle and Onscreen Keyboard

If you have any sort of Bluetooth keyboard paired to the phone this turns 
off/hides the onscreen keyboard.

Hi, All,

Lately, it seems that I can either input text using my Smart Beetle Braille 
display or input directly on my 6s phone. To use Braille input requires me to 
unhide the onscreen keyboard; to input directly from the phone requires me to 
unhide the onscreen keyboard. Is there a way to enter text via either method 
withou having to switch the keyboard setting on and off?

Re: After seeing AI recognizes text from photo, how to save the text?

[Julian]

Hi Brian,

Unfortunately, seeing ai  does not offer this feature. However, you can use the 
copy last spoken phrase voice over command to accomplish something similar. The 
way this works is that you have VoiceOver speak the text that is in that photo. 
Immediately after this text is spoken, do a three finger quadruple tap on the 
screen and voiceover will copy the last thing it spoke to your clipboard. Now, 
you can go to any edit field and copy the text into it. I hope this helps

Re: LookTel Support Email Addresses

[Cara Quinn]

Hi Sieghard,

thanks very much for your note!

Regarding the confusing state of the companies listed, you’re absolutely right. 
Unfortunately, I have limited control of this aspect of how the apps are shown 
at this point.

Just to clarify, you can search for LookTel in the App Store and the currently 
available apps should show up. I’ve done this several times on my end and it 
works. I wonder if the search is behaving a bit differently since I am in the 
US? thanks for letting me know your experiences with this. I will see if there 
is anything I can do to improve it.

Regarding Recognizer, it is in the process of being updated. So is not

Let me just reiterate that I would really encourage people to use the 
i...@looktel.com email address for any support needs. Since that will be the 
fastest way to get your voices heard by the folks who really need to hear them 
and can address those needs or issues.

Thanks again Sieghard. I wish I had better answers for you. :) Please have a 
great rest of your day!

seen any posts about it for years. It appears that it is abandoned since no 
matter how I searched I could not find it in the app store. I also noticed that 
the name of the developer for Nant Money Reader and the Voiceover Tutorial is 
actually called "Ipplex", if I search for "nant" Money Reader comes up along 
with a few other unrelated things, "Looktel" brings up the Voiceover tutorial 
but not Money reader and a search for "Ipplex" brings up both. It's just an 
opinion, but it's a bit confusing and it makes the apps hard to find.

Re: An Instant Pot question

[Penny Reeder]

Go to Settings, then Bluetooth, then the phone should find and pair with your 
Instant Pot. If this does not happen, you may have to push a button on the pot 
itslf and hold it for a few seconds to turn on the pot’s Bluetooth capability. 
Unfortunately, i don’t remember where this button is, and i needed sighted help 
to find it. Good luck, and happy cooking!

RE: Importance of cleaning phone

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Buying special products to clean your phone's screen is a waste of money, OK, 
maybe a good microfiber cloth is an exception.

It's a piece of glass and a tough piece of glass at that. Yes, it does have the 
Oleophobic coating which gives it a certain amount of finger smudge resistance, 
but for the most part a soft cloth or even a couple of Kleenex will do the 
trick, if not make the cloth wet with warm water, squeeze it well because you 
want it damp but not dripping wet and just wipe the screen, then dry it using a 
couple of Kleenex.

If you have a good microfiber cloth then use it or set one aside for this 
purpose, you can dampen a corner for the tough dirt and then use the dry 
portion to finish. Here is a good article with some information:



Oleophobic coating – what it is, how to clean your phone, what to do if the 
coating wears 
off



I prefer to use a good glass screen protector because not only will this allow 
me to wipe it any which way I like since you can buy them on Amazon for about 
$10 for a 3/pack so if it wears out I’ll just replace it. But for me the bigger 
benefit comes when I want to buy a new phone which means I then will sell my 
old one. I always keep the original packaging including those plastic films 
that cover the screen and back of the phone. When I am ready to sell it I take 
it out of the minimalist case I always have it in, I remove the screen 
protector and wipe it all down with a nice soft cloth, again, first slightly 
damp, then dry. After that and of course after resetting it back to factory 
settings, I re-apply those thin plastic protectors, put everything back in the 
original box. I usually go on Amazon and buy a new set of original Apple 
Earpods which you can get for much cheaper on Amazon than from Apple and I then 
advertise that it is a phone in perfect condition with a new headset and all 
accessories in the original box. That usually goes a long way towards getting 
the best price possible. My wife and I got the iPhone 8 at the beginning of 
December and I recently sold my iPhone 6S Plus and my wife’s iPhone 6S, both 
were 64Gb models, both were as described always in cases, with screen 
protectors and we had the original packaging and we even gave the buyers the 
new wall adapter, Lighting cable and I still had a couple of 3.5mm new headsets 
which we no longer needed since the iPhone 8 needs the Lightning Earpods. I 
advertised the phones locally on Varage Sale, a service similar to Craig’s List 
and both sold within a few days. We asked $300 for my wife’s 6S and I sold it 
for $250 and I sold my 6S Plus for the asking price of $400. That’s $650 
combined and including the $150 downpayment and $15/month for 2 years for our 
new iPhone 8 64Gb phones we’ll end up paying $1,020 in total for them, after 
what we got for the old phones the new ones cost us a total of $370, $185 for 
each of us for an iPhone 8, those are all Canadian Dollars.



Regards,

Sieghard

RE: SIrI is stupid, was: iphone not creating calendar events

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Voiceover briefly says something like "OK" and sometimes maybe "Mic", but for 
me if I say "Hey Google" and then wait for the tone that the Assistant is ready 
and I ask, for example, What is the phone number for McDonalds" it tellsl me in 
the Assistant voice and for me Voiceover is not talking at that point. There is 
nothing I did and I am not aware of anything you can try. I have an iPhone 8, 
not sure if this behavior could be slightly different on a different model 
iPhone?

No, as I said in my original email:

I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey Google" since I have 
the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that shortcut in Settings > 
SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app and got it to listen 
right away.

The key here is "unlocked my phone" and " I have the Google Assistant app 
installed".
the app of course has to open, but you can set up a SIRI Shortcut and record 
whatever phrase you want to use, e.g. Hey Google" or, if you want "Hey, all 
mighty and invasive search engine".
If you then bring up SIRI (your iPhone has to be unlocked since in this case 
the Google Assistant app has to open) and speak whatever phrase you recorded, 
in my case "Hey Google" then the Google Assistant app opens and starts 
listening.
If you then ask something and get an answer you can continue to simply say "Hey 
Google" or "OK Google" and because at that point the app is open it will listen 
without you having to press anything.

Sieghard

My husband and I both use the IPhone 8. He is running IOS 12.1.4 and I am

app. Are you saying you can activate Hey Google without opening the app?
Because I have checked every setting and Googled the issue with no luck.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
I also see no option to use Hey Google instead of OK Google.

I have the same issue wit Reminders. How can you select which Reminders list is 
the default? If I use SIRI to create a reminder it usually puts it in the Alexa 
Shopping list and not the Reminders or Family list.
The other day I thought I was smart and I said "SIRI, create a reminder in the 
family list", then I waited thinking SIRI would ask me what I want to be 
reminded about.
Instead SIRI said "Created "Family List" in your reminders and when I opened 
the app and checked it had put an item "Family List" in the Alexa Shopping List.
It's so wonderful how smart SIRI is after 8 years.
As it was our anniversary a couple of days ago I was going to call our local 
flower shop and get them to put something together for my wife. I couldn't 
remember the name so I asked SIRI "Look for flower shops nearby". It started 
listing flower sh ops in Terrace, a slightly larger town about 200 Km (125
miles) away. I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey Google" 
since I have the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that shortcut in 
Settings > SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app and got it to 
listen right away. I asked the exact same thing, "Look for flowershops nearby" 
and it came back instantly with "Larkspur Flowers". I said "Call there" and 
since the Assistant can't totally place a call instantly without approval like 
SIRI, the phone app popped up with the number and after I tapped it the call 
was placed.
Later I asked SIRI to "Call Larkspur Flowers" and it came back

Hi, list.  

 

I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of cleaning the phone surface 
from time to time.  

 

I had a scary experience yesterday.  After listening to a podcast in the native 
app, something I have had some enjoyable experiences with for the first time 
this weekend, I couldn’t make the phone respond correctly.  

 

I couldn’t go to the next podcast I was interested in or close the app.  I 
couldn’t get to the home screen with my touch I. dD. or unlock the phone with 
my pass code, which scared me for fear of erroring it too many times and wiping 
out the phone.  My swipes were not being responded to quickly or at all no 
matter how firm I made them.  

 

Well I tried some actions with Hey Siri hoping I could get somewhere, and had 
trouble It misunderstood me and played a song II hadn’t requested, then thought 
I was asking about Home Kit as sometimes it doesn’t understand my voice well, 
and then opened Maps and started a route I didn’t need, and I couldn’t get it 
stopped.  

 

What I thought might have happened was that I had inadvertently activated Zoom, 
which magnifys the screen, as the strange behavior seemed like what you get 
when both that and VoiceOver are running.  

 

So I needed to pay my cell bill as it was due yesterday and I had planned to do 
so through the A. T. & T. app, but of course I couldn’t get there with the 
phone not responding correctly, and I was home alone after church.  I took a 
cab to the nearby store and made my payment in person and had the phone looked 
at.  The representative cleaned it and everything was back to normal, he 
canceled the mMaps route that had been speaking during the cab ride, and I was 
able to close Podcasts.  I was able to do thing normally on the phone after 
that.

Subject: Importance of cleaning phone

 

Hi, list.  

 

I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of cleaning the phone surface 
from time to time.  

 

I had a scary experience yesterday.  After listening to a podcast in the native 
app, something I have had some enjoyable experiences with for the first time 
this weekend, I couldn’t make the phone respond correctly.  

 

I couldn’t go to the next podcast I was interested in or close the app.  I 
couldn’t get to the home screen with my touch I. dD. or unlock the phone with 
my pass code, which scared me for fear of erroring it too many times and wiping 
out the phone.  My swipes were not being responded to quickly or at all no 
matter how firm I made them.  

 

Well I tried some actions with Hey Siri hoping I could get somewhere, and had 
trouble It misunderstood me and played a song II hadn’t requested, then thought 
I was asking about Home Kit as sometimes it doesn’t understand my voice well, 
and then opened Maps and started a route I didn’t need, and I couldn’t get it 
stopped.  

 

What I thought might have happened was that I had inadvertently activated Zoom, 
which magnifys the screen, as the strange behavior seemed like what you get 
when both that and VoiceOver are running.  

 

So I needed to pay my cell bill as it was due yesterday and I had planned to do 
so through the A. T. & T. app, but of course I couldn’t get there with the 
phone not responding correctly, and I was home alone after church.  I took a 
cab to the nearby store and made my payment in person and had the phone looked 
at.  The representative cleaned it and everything was back to normal, he 
canceled the mMaps route that had been speaking during the cab ride, and I was 
able to close Podcasts.  I was able to do thing normally on the phone after 
that.

An Instant Pot question

['Kristeen Hughes' via VIPhone]

I have the 6-quart bluetooth model of the Instant Pot. I recently had to 
replace my iPhone and I do not remember how I paired the pot and phone. Can 
anyone tell me how this is done?

Thanks in advance.

Re: SIrI is stupid, was: iphone not creating calendar events

[BB]

Thanks to you, I finally got this working. The only issue I have now, is how
to get Voiceover to stop talking at the same time as the assistant. Is it
possible?

No, as I said in my original email:

I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey Google" since I 
have the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that shortcut in 
Settings > SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app and got it 
to listen right away.


The key here is "unlocked my phone" and " I have the Google Assistant app 
installed".
the app of course has to open, but you can set up a SIRI Shortcut and record 
whatever phrase you want to use, e.g. Hey Google" or, if you want "Hey, all 
mighty and invasive search engine".
If you then bring up SIRI (your iPhone has to be unlocked since in this case 
the Google Assistant app has to open) and speak whatever phrase you 
recorded, in my case "Hey Google" then the Google Assistant app opens and 
starts listening.
If you then ask something and get an answer you can continue to simply say 
"Hey Google" or "OK Google" and because at that point the app is open it 
will listen without you having to press anything.

Sieghard

My husband and I both use the IPhone 8. He is running IOS 12.1.4 and I am 
running the Beta 12.2 and neither of us got any suggestions when installing 
the app. Are you saying you can activate Hey Google without opening the app?

Because I have checked every setting and Googled the issue with no luck.
Perhaps I misunderstood.
I also see no option to use Hey Google instead of OK Google.

Subject: SIrI is stupid, was: iphone not creating calendar events

I have the same issue wit Reminders. How can you select which Reminders list 
is the default? If I use SIRI to create a reminder it usually puts it in the 
Alexa Shopping list and not the Reminders or Family list.
The other day I thought I was smart and I said "SIRI, create a reminder in 
the family list", then I waited thinking SIRI would ask me what I want to be 
reminded about.
Instead SIRI said "Created "Family List" in your reminders and when I opened 
the app and checked it had put an item "Family List" in the Alexa Shopping 
List.

It's so wonderful how smart SIRI is after 8 years.
As it was our anniversary a couple of days ago I was going to call our local 
flower shop and get them to put something together for my wife. I couldn't 
remember the name so I asked SIRI "Look for flower shops nearby". It started 
listing flower sh ops in Terrace, a slightly larger town about 200 Km (125
miles) away. I then unlocked my phone, got SIRI to listen and said "Hey 
Google" since I have the Google Assistant app installed and I set up that 
shortcut in Settings > SIRI and Search. This opened the Google Assistant app 
and got it to listen right away. I asked the exact same thing, "Look for 
flowershops nearby" and it came back instantly with "Larkspur Flowers". I 
said "Call there" and since the Assistant can't totally place a call 
instantly without approval like SIRI, the phone app popped up with the 
number and after I tapped it the call was placed.
Later I asked SIRI to "Call Larkspur Flowers" and it came back with "I found 
one option, Shelley's Mountain Flower on Larkspur Lane in Avon". When I 
asked my Google Home speaker to "Call Larkspur Flowers" it said "Calling 
Larkspur Flowers" and it then rang and the call was placed correctly. Ah, 
wouldn't it be nice if SIRI was half as smart as the Google Assistant?

Re: Putting the Function back into My Apple iPad Pro, 10.5 Smart Keyboard's Function Key

[Ed Worrell]

Thanks for the kind words Mark. I to love this keyboard. There are no extra 
cables to try and remember to take with you when you travel. The keyboard is 
light, it simply connects to the iPad like a Smart Cover case. It is just a 
beautiful piece of hardware. The typing experience is second to none, except 
maybe my MacBook Pro with TouchBar. 

I personally believe that the keyboard is worth the price.

Re: Importance of cleaning phone

Always keep your phone clean.

otherwise, it will get covered, with all kinds of grease, and crap!

But, i would expect, anyone who is conscious regarding their hygiene, to 
already know this.

cab to the nearby store and made my payment in person and had the phone looked 
at.  The representative cleaned it and everything was back to normal, he

Hi, list.  

 

I wanted to remind everyone of the importance of cleaning the phone surface 
from time to time.  

 

I had a scary experience yesterday.  After listening to a podcast in the native 
app, something I have had some enjoyable experiences with for the first time 
this weekend, I couldn’t make the phone respond correctly.  

 

I couldn’t go to the next podcast I was interested in or close the app.  I 
couldn’t get to the home screen with my touch I. dD. or unlock the phone with 
my pass code, which scared me for fear of erroring it too many times and wiping 
out the phone.  My swipes were not being responded to quickly or at all no 
matter how firm I made them.  

 

Well I tried some actions with Hey Siri hoping I could get somewhere, and had 
trouble It misunderstood me and played a song II hadn’t requested, then thought 
I was asking about Home Kit as sometimes it doesn’t understand my voice well, 
and then opened Maps and started a route I didn’t need, and I couldn’t get it 
stopped.  

 

What I thought might have happened was that I had inadvertently activated Zoom, 
which magnifys the screen, as the strange behavior seemed like what you get 
when both that and VoiceOver are running.  

 

So I needed to pay my cell bill as it was due yesterday and I had planned to do

Sorry, Robert, that is not where you turn this off. Automatic switching to the 
speakerphone is a Voiceover feature not a general accessibility feature hence 
it is in Voiceover settings.

The call audio routing section says this:

Call audio routing determines where audio will be heard during a phone call or 
Facetime Audio.

The options are Automatic (the default), Bluetooth headset or speaker.

You can also turn on auto answer here which if turned on lets you set a time in 
seconds and if you turn this on and, for example, set it to 5 seconds then if a 
phone call is received the call will be answered automatically after 5 seconds, 
i.e. you don’t have to do a 2-finger double tap or tap on “Answer”.

 

The setting this person wants to turn off can be found in Settings > General > 
Accessibility > Voiceover > Audio

It is called Auto select speaker in call, by default it is on.

The explanation underneath says “During audio calls automatically switch to the 
speaker when not holding your iPhone to your ear.

 

Does your friend have a case on the phone? I used to have some issues with that 
with my 6S Plus, but I also have an iPhone 8 and it never does this any more 
unless I really hold it away from my ear. I wonder if her case somehow 
interferes by covering or being too close to the area near the top of the phone 
where the proximity sensor is located.

Sieghard

Hi Folks,

 

A friend of mine just got an iPhone 8 and is having the problem of the speaker 
phone coming on at odd times whether she has taken the phone away from her head 
or not. Also, when she tries to make it turn off it often won't do it. I had 
this trouble with my iPhone 4S but have never had it on my 6S. In fact my 
speaker phone never comes on unless I go and hit the button to turn it on. My 
question is does anyone know if there is some setting which will turn off the 
auto speaker phone feature? I couldn't find anything obvious in my phone yet 
mine never comes on. She is very frustrated with this and wants to take her 
phone back if she can't get it to stop. Thanks.

The option to turn this off was introduced I think in iOS 11 which means you 
would not have that option on your 4S.

Does your friend have a case on the phone? I used to have some issues with that 
with my 6S Plus, but I also have an iPhone 8 and it 
never does this any more unless I really hold it away from my ear. I wonder if 
her case somehow interferes by covering or being too 
close to the area near the top of the phone where the proximity sensor is 
located.

The feature you are speaking of is in
Settings/general/accessibility then swipe down to ‘call audio routing’.

Hi Folks,

A friend of mine just got an iPhone 8 and is having the problem of the speaker 
phone coming on at odd times whether she has taken 
the phone away from her head or not. Also, when she tries to make it turn off 
it often won't do it. I had this trouble with my 
iPhone 4S but have never had it on my 6S. In fact my speaker phone never comes 
on unless I go and hit the button to turn it on. My 
question is does anyone know if there is some setting which will turn off the 
auto speaker phone feature? I couldn't find anything 
obvious in my phone yet mine never comes on. She is very frustrated with this 
and wants to take her phone back if she can't get it 
to stop. Thanks.

Karl

Re: Auto Speaker phone on iPhone 8

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Ok, I still have a i4S, and do have this trouble with switching back and fro 
between speaker and ear, which causes gaps in 
conversation to caller who misses half of the conversation.  I would like, and 
never yet heard of, a means to switch that feature 
off so we can operate it like the old phones,  we click a button to put it on, 
or off,  at will, our will that is!

Thanks, RobH.

Sorry, Robert, that is not where you turn this off. Automatic switching to the 
speakerphone is a Voiceover feature not a general 
accessibility feature hence it is in Voiceover settings.
The call audio routing section says this:
Call audio routing determines where audio will be heard during a phone call or 
Facetime Audio.
The options are Automatic (the default), Bluetooth headset or speaker.
You can also turn on auto answer here which if turned on lets you set a time in 
seconds and if you turn this on and, for example, 
set it to 5 seconds then if a phone call is received the call will be answered 
automatically after 5 seconds, i.e. you don’t have to 
do a 2-finger double tap or tap on “Answer”.

The setting this person wants to turn off can be found in Settings > General > 
Accessibility > Voiceover > Audio
It is called Auto select speaker in call, by default it is on.
The explanation underneath says “During audio calls automatically switch to the 
speaker when not holding your iPhone to your ear.
