Hi, How long should one hold the Home and Power buttons in? (This is a 5S.) Certainly if I hold the Power button in for long enough together with the Home button, like four seconds, then the power turns off.

Hi, Make sure the screen curtain is turned off. Then, do a screen shot with the home and power buttons pressed together. Then, share that screen shot with an app like KNFB Reader, Seeing AI, Prizmo Go, and they should be able to get some of the text. The issue you will have is how clear and crisp the text is. Digital newspapers are not known for being terribly clear.

With VoiceOver off, sighties can zoom in and enlarge or decrease the text size. With VO on, this option apparently disappears. I tried scanning such a screen on my PC, and got a blank page. Speak Screen doesn’t work either, either with or without VoiceOver on. (Siri says, “sorry, there is nothing to read here”. Well there is, Siri girl.

Hi, Has anyone ever tried doing OCR from an external scanner where text of an article onscreen on the iPhone (or iDevice) cannot be read by VoiceOver. I’m thinking of digital newspaper text on the iPhone screen that is not/cannot be read by VoiceOver. Would scanning it on a CanoScan scanner – used by Kurzweil 1000 attached to a PC - potentially do any damage to an iPhone screen? (Of course, would or could one get any satisfactory results thereby?) My newspaper app can’t be transferred between devices, and I can’t export stuff from it to DropBox – there being no facility provided for it (and/or I can’t read it. The search boxes read fine, and do the page numbers. If I type text into the search box, I’ll get results back, which are read by VoiceOver. But that is of course a very tedious way to have to get through an article or articles. Thoughts on this proposition?
