I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
To a point, we should be grateful. But we must also ask, politely I may add,
for more. Keep in mind that the accessibility team at Apple aren’t bots,
although they have responses that they give rather automatically because they
*cannot* say more at the time. But they *do* want our feedback,
My mistake. I was thinking with the Series 3 watches and up, that they were all
cellular.
Guess the best thing I can do is not try to answer any questions from now on so
I won't give out misinformation.

I have to admit it's not so much the voices that I don't care for, as much as
the way the words are being changed in pronunciation lately. What's up with

A very easy fix for this, is just before beginning to read the book

I just successfully moved a file from the root drive to a folder. Here is what
I did:
1. Place focus on the file you want to move.
2. Flick up to drag and double tap
3. Place focus on the folder you want it to go into but don't double tap on it.
4. Flick down to drop on folder and
Try this.
Touch the file you want to drag/move.
Flick down with one finger to drag item and double tap.
Now, touch the folder where you want it.
Flick down again with one finger to drop item here or something like that,

I use Samantha for Siri and Tom for voice-over, but I would sure like the Paul
voice from Jaws to be available. For me that was the easiest to understand. Tom
is not bad, though. Siri is working fine by the way on my SE2.

So Apple will sometimes make little changes under the hood that affects
the way voice over behaves. This usually happens in waves, and not
everyone gets the updates at the same time. I think it usually takes a

You can just go into JAWS in the system tray and then selection Options ->

No, Siri and voiceover are two different things. With voiceover we need to go
into settings and go into voice over and then speech and I have not done this

If you were in the voiceover setting and chose the Siri male, you were
