SiriusXM is still the most reliable way to get NFL broadcasts.

They do not have archives of games though, which some people want.

As I said, your favorites in the StarPlayrX app can be found on the channels

On that main screen, just swipe until you hear All Stars.  Just double tap on 
that and you will be on the screen with your list of favorites.

A couple of tips about the StarPlayrX app.

*  After selecting a channel, on the channel screen, you will see a preset 
toggle button.  This is the favorites button, so just double tap on it to turn 
it on and add it to your favorites.

* Now to find your favorites, just double tap on the All Stars choice on the 
main screen.  You will have 3 or 4 default stations that the app puts there, 
but after that will be listed your favorites.

So once you find the stations you want, add them to your favorites, and then 
there is no more searching.

For 99¢, it seems to be more intuitive than the SiriusXM app in many ways.  I

I don't have that issue, either. I just sent my self a test email and made sure 
my phone was unlocked and on the home screen and my iPhone played the email 
sound I have set for my personal account.

I normally have banners for Mail turned off and also don't have it show up in 
Notification Centre, but I enabled temporary banners just to test it and sent 
myself another message with the subject "Another Test".

When it arrived the sound played and Voiceover said "Mail Sieghard Weitzel,

The one major bug I’m dealing with and don’t recall reading about in the 
AppleVis write-up is that when the phone is unlocked, notifications are silent. 
I don’t know if for sighted people the banner comes up, but with VoiceOver at 
least, you are left oblivious as to any sort of incoming notification. In my 
case, I deal with time sensitive emails so it was turning into a bigtime 
annoyance for me. I thought it might have to do with the new focus settings in 
iOS 15, but after monkeying around with that for a while and other settings 
like having VoiceOver speak notifications, nothing changed.

I finally called Apple Accessibility on Friday after the work week was done and 
explained my issue. Turns out, it’s a known bug and they’re “workig on it.” Not 
much Solace since that pretty much means wait till iOS 15.1 comes out. 

Anyway, he documented my call and bug report. He said the more people contact 
them about it, the better.  So… get on it people and bug Apple about it if 
you’re experiencing this too. 

If the phone’s locked or even if I’m on a phone call, the notifications do come 
in. It’s just when it’s unlocked and in use that there is no sound whatsoever. 
Again, no idea if the banners are still popping up, but even

Hi All,

For those of you who recently ordered the Air Pods Max, I received an update 
this morning. I ordered the Sky Blue Pods and was supposed to receive them 
between April 19 and 26. Now, they are scheduled to be delivered between March 
23 and 30. So hopefully, yours will come sooner as well.

He said that he thought David had something configured wrong, but he has been 
told he sounds “amazing” when talking to people with the headphones and has 
made recordings for podcasts with them, clearly implying no negative feedback.

He also had listened to the podcast.

I would never make a purchase decision based on a podcast where who the heck 
knows what might have ben misconfigured.  I will try them and if they sound 
bad, they will go back the next day.

It is best to try them for oneself because of the clear subjectivity of audio.

If by that feature, you are talking about the transparency mode, according to 
the folks on the Tech Doctor podcast, you hear things very clearly and in 
stereo.  So sounds from the left, are on your left, etc.

If you are talking about the live listen mode, I’ve only read about it but it 
uses the iPhone microphone so you hear whatever the iPhone hears in mono.  It 
is intended to be like a pocket talker I think, which is a special device for 
the hearing impaired, so you could give your phone to someone at a table in a 
noisy room and you would hear them over the room noise.

If by that feature, you are talking about the transparency mode, according to 
the folks on the Tech Doctor podcast, you hear things very clearly and in 
stereo.  So sounds from the left, are on your left, etc.

If you are talking about the live listen mode, I’ve only read about it but it 
uses the iPhone microphone so you hear whatever the iPhone hears in mono.  It 
is intended to be like a pocket talker I think, which is a special device for 
the hearing impaired, so you could give your phone to someone at a table in a 
noisy room and you would hear them over the room noise.

It’s clear to me about this article 2 things. 

1. This is a windows user

2. They haven’t done there homework.

Note: I am not the author of this article!

Introduction

The modern era has brought many advantages for those who are blind or visually 
impaired. One of the most important tools a blind user uses with modern 
computing devices is a screen reader. Traditionally, screen readers have been 
very expensive third-party programs that were very difficult to obtain 
depending on one’s financial status. However, several free yet capable screen 
readers have emerged in the last 20 years. The two that we will be discussing 
are Apple’s VoiceOver for macOS and the Nonvisual Desktop Access or NVDA for 
Windows. Both are powerful screen readers in their own right, but they have 
their strengths and weaknesses which I will discuss in more detail. Hopefully 
by the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of each 
product and its individual strengths/weaknesses.

NVDA

Nonvisual Desktop Access or NVDA for short is a free and open source screen 
reader for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The organization behind the 
project is an Australian company called NV Access (  
www.nvaccess.org). It has been around since 2006 and primarily competes with 
the JAWS for Windows screen reader produced by Freedom Scientific or Vispero as 
they are now known by. It offers many of the same features that JAWS offers and 
should be suitable for 99% of screen reader users. The philosophy behind NVDA 
is extremely compelling. It is offered free of charge to anyone in the world, 
meaning there is no longer a financial barrier for blind people to work, learn, 
or do anything else on a computer. NV Access does rely on donations, either 
from individuals or grants from large companies, so if you can donate, it is 
very much worth it to help this amazing project continue long into the future. 
The obvious benefit is that a blind person can compete on a level playing field 
with sighted peers at no more cost than anyone else. Updates to NVDA are also 
free, and NV Access releases 3-4 updates per year that fix bugs and add new 
features.

Since NVDA is   open source, 
anyone is free to review the source code and propose changes. While anyone can 
propose a change and submit code, it’s still reviewed and approved by NV Access 
before it is included in anything anyone can download. This ensures the 
security of the software from unauthorised changes and means that the final 
product available from   https://www.nvaccess.org/ 
is just as secure and well vetted as the closed source from another company. 
Thousands of people from all over the world constantly contribute to the 
project which benefits everyone in the end. NVDA is a screen reader made for 
the blind by the blind. NV Access is overseen by a board of directors (of whom 
at least 33% must be blind or vision impaired, according to their  
 constitution.

VoiceOver

  VoiceOver is 
Apple’s built-in and the only screen reader for the Mac. It has been around 
since 2005, although the last significant update was in 2011 with Mac OS X 
Lion. VoiceOver works well with Apple’s built-in apps and used to be very 
reliable. Since it is built into the system, anyone can walk up to a Mac 
running a modern version of macOS and get it talking by pressing Command+F5. 
Apple should be commended for building a very capable screen reader into the 
system and showing the rest of the world that it is possible to build very 
robust accessibility features into mainstream products.

As previously mentioned, however, VoiceOver is not as reliable as it could or 
should

Subject: RE: Some questions about the Audible app

The app does not do a very good job of allowing you to flick through 
categories.  I think because visually they have pictures of the book cover, 
though I do not know why it repeats.

You do not seem to be able to check the price in the app because you cannot buy 
from within the app.  You can add it to your list, etc.

I find the web site far easier to use for browsing and for buying for that very 
reason.  

Before I switched to libro.fm, I had the Gold membership for basically $149 per 
year for 12 credits, which comes out to about $12.50 per book.
There is also the platinum plan for I think about $240 per year for 24 credits.

Since Amazon owns both Audible and Alexa, once you have a book in your Audible 
Library, you can just ask Alexa to play that title.  This assumes you are using 
the same account for both, which you probably are.

I switched to Libro.fm because I'm not buying that many books because I can 
usually get them here in the United States through NLS, or Bookshare,.
When I want a human read book, I will buy it through Libro.fm because I can 
play them on anything that plays mp3 files and a local bookstore gets half of 
the price.
The only books they do not have that Audible has are the Audible Originals.

Hi I just subscribed to Audible.com although I'm in Canada.
I installed the app on my phone but I have a few questions.
First is there a way in the app to view an entire category of books meaning I 
can scan through several books but then it just seems to repeat them so 
wondering if there is a way to go through an entire category or genre without 
having to go  on to the website.
Also if I decide to purchase a book is there a way to see the price of the book 
instead of just letting me know I can buy for one credit so I can decide 
whether it is best to use a credit or just cheaper to buy the book out right.  
Is there anything else I should know or that would be helpful before I start 
downloading and listening to books.
Finally I have an echo Dot and I am wondering how I can link my audible account 
so that I can listen to the books I have in my library on my device.
Lastly when it comes to the different membership options which choice do some 
of you guys have and why and what one do you feel provides the best value for 
money.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Attention, Easier Way to Play SiriusXM

accomplish this?

Shirley,

 

Were you able to log into your Sirius account with the StarPlayrX app? There 
isn't a lot to figure out once your logged in. All the available channels are 
presented in categories and as you drill down on them, the channels are listed 
in text lists with the channel number provided. I find it much easier to get 
info about my available channels using this app and I can then ask Alexa to 
play them on my Echo.

I've not been able to do much with the app as far as my phone goes. I can tell 
my echo device to play a specific channel but when opening the app on my phone, 
I am not sure how to make it work. I was able to read the list of holiday 
channels.

Hi there,

I’d like some thoughts from anyone who has the newest Apple watch.  I’m 
seriously thinking about upgrading from my current series 3.  Aside from that, 
I’ve been having trouble upgrading to the latest watch version, which makes me 
think I should upgrade anyway.

What do people like about the newer watch, and what are some of the advantages 
to upgrading?  What are some disadvantages or things you’ve found don’t work 
well yet?  Is it worth the upgrade? What about VoiceOver and accessibility 
issues or glitches?

I know I can get some money for my current watch and use it toward a trade-in.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I also found that game day pro football was not what it was cracked up to be.  
I found that I wasn’t able to listen to my local station broadcast of the game. 
 I didn’t go all through the list of stations, but the first four or five.

I gave up quickly, as wanted to listen to the game, so just left it on the TV.

Maybe I didn’t give it a fighting chance, but will try to see if I get better 
results when I am watching a game that I don’t care about as much as the one

RE: Brief summary of the apple Event, no new iPhone announced

Subject: Brief summary of the apple Event, no new iPhone announced

The event lasted a little over an hour and was nicely audio described.

Today’s event focused on the Watch Series 6 running Watch OS7 with a new blood 
oxygen censor, new sleep app, Family setup so each family member has their own 
phone number on the watch so everyone doesn’t need their own phone, and an 
always on altimeter.  The Family Setup with the phone numbers requires the 
cellular model.

Starting price $399 probably for Wi-Fi… available Friday, September 18th, 
orderable today.

Also, the lower cost Watch SE that has many of the new features of the Series 
6, but not the blood oxygen censor, starts at $279.  Also available Friday the 
18th.

New iPad 8th generation and a new iPad Air both running iPad OS14.

iPads won’t be available until next month.

All the operating systems, iOS 14, iPad OS 14, and TV OS 14 will be released 
tomorrow, the 16th.

No mention at all about a new phone.

I have used the game day pro ap, and found it to be very good.  Main issue is 
that it does not broadcast the national or westwood 1 feeds.  It only does the 
local.  I used tune in most of the time, because it did have national feeds for 
the Sunday night, Monday and thursday night games.

OK, since there are multiple apps with the same or similar names, here is what 
I know.
1.  Game Day Pro Football radio,  by Thanh Ho, not usre of the current price 
but  was updated 2 years ago and I know from someone else that it is working 
great!
2.  Pro Football Radio and live scores, by Red Ripe media 99¢ has not been 
updated for 5 years.
3.  Pro Football radio and live scores plus highlights by JJACR Apps LLC 99¢  
has not been updated for 3 years.

Good morning, Linda.
Are use an app called Pro Radio. In the App Store, it is two words, the P on 
pro and we are on radio must be capitalized in the search.
It hasn’t been updated for a while, but, I used it over the weekend, and it 
worked great.
It has stations for all 32 teams
I think it is $1.99, but definitely worth it Let us know how it goes

Hi,

Siri has stopped talking.  For example, when I ask Siri to spell a word I get 
silence.  I can use finger gestures to spell out the word, but until a couple 
days ago Siri would automatically sell it out.  Siri is just as silent when I 
ask something else.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The basics are pretty easy. The menu button will get you into where you can 
change things and read instructions. However, all you need to do is hold your 
phone flat and above the card. Move the phone an listen for the tone which will 
get louder as more text is detected. If the tone gets quieter, you've lost 
focus on some text. When you have a loud stable tone, double tap on the 
"capture image" button and the text will be scanned. Settings in the app let 
you determine if it's read out loud or not among other things. I find it best 
to use the app with VoiceOver hints disabled so the hint doesn't talk over the 
text which is read. However, the hints are useful to learn what's what. Hope 
that helps you get started. It's a beautifully intuitive system.

Apple TV Plus

2020-06-16 Thread richring

I'm talking here about the streaming service, not the device. I'm looking
for recommendations as to what to watch next. I just finished "Defending
Jacob" and it was excellent! The video description was as good as it could
be! Now I'm looking for another drama! Any ideas from anyone?

Trying to subscribe to Apple TV Plus, and I'm caught in a loop

I'm trying to subscribe to Apple TV Plus, and I seem to be caught in a never
ending loop. I attempt to subscribe, I click the continue button, and I am
asked to confirm with side button. I press the side button and I'm back at
the screen with the continue button. I press the continue button and I'm
asked to confirm with side button. I simply don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using an iPhone 11 with iOS 13.5.1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I watched a free episode of a series
called "defending Jacob" and I really want to see more of the series!

Actually, the one that you're referring to was one of my older ones.  This one 
has a USB port on the very top edge of the keyboard and it holds a charge for a 
long time.  I really haven't figured out the length of time, but it's perhaps a 
few months.  I use this keyboard all the time because I feel I can type faster 
than trying to type on the phone. However, I do like to type on the phone just 
to keep up my skills on the touch screen. Good luck on whatever keyboard you 
choose.

Hi, Fazil,

I have the Magic Bluetooth keyboard which actually comes from Apple.  It is a 
regular-sized, very light keyboard, and I carry it in a large sized Ziplock bag 
and keep its cord in a smaller Ziplock bag.  It is not foldable, but I love it 
because the weight is very light,  is so easy and I am a fast typist.  However, 
I always check my messages before I send them just in case I make an error.  
Good luck in your keyboard search.

RE: Managing Contacts in Outlook for iOS was RE: Outlook Frustration

2020-05-25 Thread richring

I guess it is my inability to write clearly, but I DON’T WANT Outlook to keep

email address in the “to” field!

Subject: Managing Contacts in Outlook for iOS was RE: Outlook Frustration

Like Matthew, my Outlook for iOS is displaying my available contacts when I 
execute the Compose button in the upper right corner of the screen to begin a 
new message and start typing characters in the To field. You should read the 
below which I copied from the Outlook for iOS FAQs section to make sure your 
contacts are available to the app.

How do I save my Outlook contacts to my iOS contacts app?

To save Outlook contacts to your native address book:

First go to Device Settings > Contacts and confirm that the “Default Account” 
is set to “iCloud”. If you do not see this setting that is OK, the setting 
should only be available if you have more than one account added to your 
device. If there is no account connected to the device, then your Outlook 
contacts will be saved locally but will not be synced to other devices.

Second, open Outlook for iOS and in the left nav view open the Settings gear > 
Select your account > Toggle ON the “Save Contacts” toggle.

Saved contacts will be added under the contacts in your iCloud account. These 
contacts will sync to all devices which are signed in with the same iCloud 
account. Note: You can only export contacts from one device at a time.

If a user has contact-export turned on both their iPad and iPhone one will need 
to be disabled so that we are able to manage conflicts. Duplicates can take up 
24 hours to be reconciliated.

Yes.

You may also consider joining the Orbit Reader list.

It is a very nice, compact display.

The fact that it can open txt files and you can edit them using contracted 
braille, then open them from the SD card on a computer and read them with your 
chosen word processer is a big improvement.

The braille truly does feel like signage braille.  The dots actually stand up a 
little taller than other displays and I think is the best feeling braille of 
any displays.  I have used the braillenotes, braille senses/BrailleEdge, and 
the Focus displays.

1 finger,

Start on the bottom edge just off the screen surface and slide smoothly and not 
too fast up until you hear a second tone, there should also be a haptic 
vibration.

Lift your finger and that takes you to the home screen.

The same gesture, but at the third sound or second vibration will take you to 
the app switcher.

It takes some practice, and if you start hearing the usual screen clicks you 
get with VoiceOver, you aren’t starting at the right place.  It has to be a 
smooth slide.

No, that is incorrect! If  you receive SSDI, or retirement or survivor's

It's a bit confusing though because, if I understand what I read on the IRS 
site correctly, SSDI recipients will get their payments automatically. But if 
you don't get enough income to have to file a tax return, you have to fill out 
the form on the site to get the payment.
So if I'm not mistaken, even if you get SSDI, if you don't get enough to be 
required to file a tax return, you have to fill out the form on the site to get 
the payment.
If anybody understands it differently, I'd be interested.

Actually, I'm the person who started the thread and I have an iPhone 8. I 
thought it was an iOS 13.4 issue since I noticed it after upgrading to 13.4 but 
apparently others who have not yet upgraded are also noticing it. I've reported 
it to Apple Accessibility and will not comment further on the issue since I 
realize it's minuscule in the scheme of things. However, I personally don't 
want Voiceover to start mispronouncing words it previously pronounced correctly 
which seems to be happening with more frequency.

The person who started this topic is using an XR and someone else with the 
issue had an 8 plus, I have an SE and the only voice that has this issue, minor 
though it may be, is the Siri Female American voice.

No other voices, in VoiceOver, or Siri have this pronunciation qwerk.

And if folks running 13.3 are experiencing it with Samantha, then it most 
certainly is a gremlin that should no longer be fed.

I hate to prolong this thread but I’m wondering if this problem only occurs on 
certain IPhone models.  I’ve seen several posts saying their 8 has this issue & 
several that mention they have a newer model & do not have the issue.  Maybe I 
missed some emails on this topic.  I don’t think everyone who has an 8 needs to 
chime in but I’d like to hear from anyone who has a newer model & has this 
pronunciation issue with yesterday.  It would go a long way to solving it if 
the problem only occurred on certain models.

Richard,

I had tried modifying my Voiceover pronunciations to customize yesterday to 
correct this issue without success until I was successful now by spelling the 
substitution word as yesterday spelling the second syllable as t u r instead of 
t e r. For some strange reason, this corrects the pronunciation. Spelling the 
substitution word with an upper case D for day did not change my iPhone's 
pronunciation of the last syllable as if it began with a t.

Thanks for all the responses on this issue which I still find a bit perplexing 
considering our varying results. But I'll put it to bed now.

Well, for those who are experiencing this, have you tried going into VoiceOver 
settings, Speech, pronunciation and put in yesterday with the substitution as 
yester space day to see if it solves the issue, though it may have a bit of a 
pause in the middle. 

And, of course, everyone should write Apple, but given how inconsistent it is, 
I wouldn't hold my breath.

If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you just slide the switch from 
USB to BT. 

A little heads up, the dongle can be stored  inside the cover on the left 
earpiece.

Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

 

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.

When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

 

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

 

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

 

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.

The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

 

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the right 
ear piece.

 

Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.

Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast Forward.

 

Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between the 
USB port and the power/device selection switch.

Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track / 
Rewind.

 

The left ear piece has two small tactile dots on it.  If you turn the cover 
until the two dots are lined up, the cover will come off and inside there is 
the battery, which can be replaced by someone with jeweler tools; and a spot to 
store the RF dongle when not in use with the computer.

I am sure they are quite nice, but the discussion about the Logitech H800 
focused more on it's ability to connect to a PC via a USB dongle as well as to 
an iPhone via Bluetooth and the fact that they only cost $60.

I doubt you find a Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II for that price, here in Canada they 
cost $449 at Best Buy. The ability to use Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa 
natively on the headset is interesting and a great feature, but if I think

I have been using WLTR2 since 2017 and have had no problem with it.

Note there are two programs WLTR and WLTR2 the latter works fine in my 
experience.

I know some people are highly critical and dismissive of alternatives to ITunes 
but some people prefer to use these packages.

RE: To Upgrade or not to Upgrade, that is the Question

2019-10-13 Thread richring

In a way, what you seem to be implying is that Apple does not have total 
control over its products. If that is true, that is a rather disconcerting 
state of things. I've lost sound a number of times, and I can't imagine how 
this bug slipped by Apple, and if Apple indeed does not control their products 
i.e. two iPhone 11s are not the same, that is truly unfortunate!

Subject: RE: To Upgrade or not to Upgrade, that is the Question

Hello Carolyn, et al:

You know, I've been puzzling over this ever since I updated my 8 Plus to the 
latest version of iOS and purchasing an iPhone 11; both having never lost 
VoiceOver as the result of any activity.  With the rare exception of some 
VoiceOver display bleed-through errors, described in previous posts, I never 
use any of my Apple devices without VoiceOver and yet, try as I may, I cannot 
reproduce the loss-of-VoiceOver glitch with or without earphones, of any type, 
attached.

Did you know that not all iPhones are created equal?  There are several 
different models referred to by the same device name.  Also, in the United 
States at least, the type of carrier used can, in fact, have an impact on 
device performance.  For example, several years ago there was a VoiceOver 
display driver bug that only affected certain iPhones sold by certain 
manufacturers.  Moreover, if memory serves, iPhones older than the 7 series 
would have 1 of 2 different modems installed, based on certain factors.  My 
point, regardless of the name used, not all iPhones are identical, in terms of 
hardware.

Again, at present, this is just a guess as Apple never admits to hardly 
anything until it has been resolved but I suspect that those having this 
problem, or the reverse, those like me, who are not having this problem, can 
attribute it to the device type that is being used.

For example, and again, this is just a guess so don't take issue, I make it a 
practice to pay full price for SIM-free models of any Apple device, only.  The 
SIM-free model is one that is generally sold outside of the US but can, upon 
request, be purchased inside the US, as well.

I was told, by an Apple employee, that all iPhone 11 series phones are now 
SIM-free unless the purchaser elects not to pay full price for the phone, up 
front.  I do not know how true this is as I am certain that when one purchases 
a device directly from a carrier, the device is most certainly not SIM-free.

While I am certain that Apple will resolve this loss-of-VoiceOver issue, the 
fact that it even exists suggests to me that they did not or could not 
anticipate this problem on their in-house models, said models most likely being 
the purist of the pure where software and hardware installs are concerned.

Mark

Yesterday, I lost speech, even Bluetooth did not get it for me - phone would 
not ring, only vibrate. We did reboot, turned off then back on. Finally, I 
called Apple Accessibility. We worked and worked again, finally turned off, 
back on, got it. She asked if she could screen share, did, checked About for my 
model information, said she would submit my second complaint with regard to 
VoiceOver. I told her I was out of the house, had the problem for hours, 
couldn't even get Siri. I wish I knew a work around, just to keep it from 
happening again. 

I do like Call Silencer, but would give it up to stabilize VoiceOver.

For as much as I complained about VO dropping out after phone/FaceTime calls, 
I'm really glad I did the upgrade to the IOS13. I got a call that went to 
voicemail this morning that was a SSA scam that said my number would be 
suspended due to fraudulent activity, that I would be arrested, and to kindly 
press 1 (I'm not kidding) for more information. I was able to use the voicemail 
recording and the info VO provided to give an accurate account of the call to 
the FTC when I filed my complaint with them after the call came in.

Yay, Apple.

Do the upgrade. Just have a pair of wired earbuds handy to get VO back if it 
kicks out after a call. I hung up just a few minutes ago from a call (without 
being plugged in), and lost speech but still had sound--I could hear the clicks 
as I swiped right and left. I grabbed my wired earbuds, plugged in, and VO was 
back.

HTH,

Facial recognition

2019-09-29 Thread richring

Hello everyone,

I have upgraded from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11.

I have set up face ID more than once.

However, when attempting to unlock my phone, it never recognizes my face,
and I must enter my passcode. Now, this is not the end of the world, but is
there anything anyone can suggest to help make face ID function as it
should?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
