Hi, all, One thing that is extremely wonderful in 8.1 is that Voiceover is a LOT more stable. I haven't had it off and on and off and on since I updated. Major relief. :) Teresa "We can see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well, and seeing with the brain is often called imaginatio

Hi, all, I just tried using the Bard Mobile search field, knowing that there have been problems in iOS8 with Voiceover tracking the visual screen. The search field works, but not if you swipe left and right. Swiping changes what Voiceover reads, but doesn't always change the visual screen. So I

On your Bluetooth keyboard, turn QuickNav off by pressing the left and right-arrow keys at the same time. This will let you type in text fields. I leave this setting as it is, and use VO keys on the external keyboard with arrow keys, because I decided that it's more convenient. You can also togg

Apple does download the update to your phone. Then you have to approve in order to install it. So it does remain on your device unless you remove it, at which point I'm unclear as to whether it redownloads. But it won't install automatically. Teresa "We can see with the eyes, but we see with t
