Hi Mr. Ed,
The latest AppleVis podcast I’ve received in my Overcast subscription is dated
11/29/21. Maybe they took December off.

You have written VIB,
Do you mean VIP for very important person,
Which is like an alert system that when you put email addresses of those that
are important to you in there,
Their mail flicks up an alert to let you know it arrived unlike other emails.

Alan, do follow Dennis's suggestion to elimninate the currency reference you

I noticed that recent Voiceover USD addition too in the Stocks app and figured
it was something I'd have to live with. I always wonder about the folks who

I'd agree with tom's comments. My low vision students have generally
liked the landscape mode. But as a VO user, i've never seen any
advantage for it. The one exception might be in any browser, I like

With a Google Home speaker you can simply say "Hey Google, pairing mode" or

Hi Don,
Below are 3 different ways to get rid of this screen:
Read all the way through before attempting any of the options below just to
kind of get your head wrapped around what to do.
The 1st 2 ways of getting rid of this screen, 1 requires sight and the
other requires turning Hands Free
But it sounds like what you are saying is that a temperature of 1 °C = to 1.8°F
and that is not correct since you have to add 32 to that, so 1°C = 33.8°F.
Of course knowing that 0°C (the freezing point) is 32°F is useful and that 20°C
= 68°F, you can use the 5°C = 9°F method to figure out what
If you want to listen to Audible content on an Alexa speaker there is really no
