Hello All,
Although some of these features have already been discussed, there are a
couple that I absolutely love, including the automatic document scanning
feature which works beautifully with VoiceOver in terms of guiding a blind
person in lining up the camera for the automatic scan. While
I too think it is a scam. I had one I would say a couple of years ago but I

ever answer it. I understand it the way they do it is they get you to say yes
to something and then they can track your phone and mess with

Hi,
For quite some time now, I’ve had this annoying issue when posting or

One extremely odd bug that still remains is Voiceover's pronunciation of the em
dash as "to the power of", which seems impossible to change.
