Re: No text field in spotlight search. In Ios 11

Dave, have you tried using the braille screen input keyboard to look up apps? It works just like the handwriting but uses braille instead. On your home screen switch your rotor to the braille screen input keyboard. Now just start typing in the name of the app you are looking for. I normally

Hi David, As long as you know the alphabet usually all that is required for you is to draw one or two letters to narrow it down. I could see how it might take some practice, but I would give it a try. Maybe it’s easy for me to say because I had full sight until I was almost 17 so writing of

Dave, Did you go into the Siri and Search settings and turn off app suggestions? Maybe that would help. Richard (Sent from the iPod Touch 6) On Oct 1, 2017, at 8:08 AM, Dave Bahr > wrote: No, haven’t tried the status bar thing so will give that a

No, haven’t tried the status bar thing so will give that a try. Yes, I use it to find apps on the phone. Um, if I used handwriting, wouldn’t I need to know how to write in print? Maybe that’s a dumb question but I’ve never used it and all I can do in print is sign my name at best, but I can do

Thanks for the encouragementto rejoin the beta program, Sieghard! I found the original beta so gruelling that I bailed out. Now I have rejoined, I do see what you mean about VoiceOver improvements! Cheers Harry > On 1 Oct 2017, at 15:18, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: > > Hi

Hi David, Have you tried to touch an item in the status bar like the time and then do a double tap? Do you use it to find apps on your phone? Why not use handwriting, it is much faster and works great. From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Bahr

Re: No text field in spotlight search. In Ios 11

Hmmm, guess I should have explained this better. The search field shows up occasionally. However, when I wrote the message I did, when I would do the 3-finger swipe down, all voiceover would say is, siri app suggestions, heading. No matter which way I tried to move and scroll pages, I could not

RE: No text field in spotlight search. In Ios 11

Hi Harry, Doing a 3-finger swipe to the right when on the main home screen gives you the Today screen. To get to spotlight search you touch any app or folder on any of your home screens and do a 3-finger swipe down. Somebody else needs to check this for David, I have already moved on to the iOS

Re: No text field in spotlight search. In Ios 11

I think the spotlight search is reached by three finger swipe from left to right to reach page 1 of all screens. At the very top is a Search field, which seems to be what you want? Harry > On 1 Oct 2017, at 13:54, Richard Turner wrote: > > I've never tried using

Re: No text field in spotlight search. In Ios 11

I've never tried using Siri to ask for a spotlight search. A three finger swipe down in the middle of the screen works every time. Richard (Sent from the iPod Touch 6) On Oct 1, 2017, at 1:29 AM, Dave Bahr > wrote: Hi, maybe this has been covered
