Arlene, Not sure what is the issue for you, but for me this is how it works (I assume you know how to pull up the Control Centre and find the Screen Recording icon), here is what I do once I am on it:
1. I swipe down and Voiceover says Open Controls 2. I double tap and Voiceover says Screen Recording, Heading, Actions available 3. I flick right and Voiceover says Start Recording button, I flick right once more and Voiceover says Microphone Off, Switch Button Off 4. I double tap and Voiceover says On 5. I swipe left once and Voiceover says Start Recording Button, I double tap and Voiceover will make a couple of beeps as it does a sort of 3, 2, 1 count-down before recording starts. Now as soon as recording starts you will suddenly hardly hear Voiceover any more since it speaks out of the earpiece speaker so you may have to hold your phone up closer to your ear depending on how good your hearing is. You can now press the home button a couple of times to get out of screen recorder and Control Panel, but the recording will continue and all gestures and screens where you go will be recorded. In order to stop screen recorder you have to again go into Control Centre > Screen Recording and double tap the Stop Recording button. Once you do this the video will be saved to your camera roll.

We couldn't find any of the controls, even the microphone. Somehow I'm missing something not finding these controls. You're instructions are clear, but as I said we're not finding the controls, and as I said this is something we really want to learn to use. By the way we changed the rotor settings, we tried all of them, thinking that it might have helped, but didn't do anything. There's so many useful things to do with it including making tutorials. We're greatful for your assistance in using the screen recorder, even though at this point it has a bug in it.We meant to be helpful along with us as far as the testing, which is not necessary any longer since there's been enough list members that have tested the screen record along with your experience. So, if there's something that we're missing, please let us know, and thanks again for always sharing your own experiences, how to instructions and knowledge.

I know Voice memos and other recording apps work fine and I see that some people can make a screen recording where Voiceover can be heard although not very loud. I did include instructions on how to enable the microphone for screen recordings in my original message, you do it by flicking up or down on Screen Recorder to "Open Controls" and double tap, then locate the Microphone toggle. From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Arlene Sent: Sunday, November 4, 2018 6:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Screen recording with Voiceover Sieghard, we thought we would try testing with the se phones, and this is what we found out. As to your instructions, we went into control center, and located screen recorder, we didn't spend much time with it and we'll definitely spend more time with it later. We didn't find a setting to enable the microphone, however it seemed to be working corectly. If this isn't the same thing I'm getting ready to tell you about then I apologize. However this is what we have. In the phone, in the extras phone using the voice memo recorder it's working as you want it too, recording ourvoices and voice over's voice very clearly. this is with using one of the se phones version 12.1, nad on the other se phone using the prior software version 11.4. The 2 se phones except for the operating system are identical. Thanks for asking your question, getting us interested in this because recording some things may be useful from time to time.At this time we won't be doing any demos, but this would be one way to get one done. On the phone with the current software we downloaded a recording app last summer and hadn't done much with it so far, but it works just as well as the voice memo does, and does actually work the same way including recording our voices and the voice over's voice just how you want it to work. It's called rev. We were going through the apps on applevis and that's where we found it. However, down the way and when time permits we may end up doing some tutorials professionally. We're all about recording.

Unfortunately I realized that now in iOS 12 there is no way I could think of to make such a screen recording which includes what Voiceover is speaking. This used to be not easy in iOS 11, either, but it could be accomplished by using a Bluetooth or wired external speaker. Now Voiceover is switched to the Earpiece of the phone where even at full volume it can be barely heard and even though with a Bluetooth speaker Voiceover was speaking loud and clear via the Bluetooth speaker, nothing was picked up by the microphone. My own voice could be heard as I was explaining my gestures, but nothing else. I would really appreciate it if others who have newer phones than me could test this to see if they get the same result. I have a 6S Plus so if people with an iPhone 7, 8, XS or XR could do some testing that would be great. Please make sure you flick down on the Screen Recording icon in Control Centre to Adjust controls and make sure the microphone is turned on before starting. Then try it with just the phone and see if Voiceover remains on the external speaker or switches to the Earpiece and also try it with a Bluetooth speaker or wired external speaker. Below is a message I just wrote to Apple Accessibility regarding this. If your findings match mine please also send a message and feel free to use all or part of my message. Screen recordings which include Voiceover speech can be really useful and they used to work. This way if you encounter an app with unlabeled buttons or other elements which are not spoken correctly by Voiceover you can easily make a demo and send it to the developer to show them. OK, here now is my message: Hello, I'd like to point out what I consider a substantial bug with the Screen Recording feature. If this is not considered a bug then I think it's a big feature omission which should be addressed especially since it used to be different. Here is the problem: If I, as a Voiceover user, start a screen recording with the microphone enabled Voiceover disappears or, to be more exact, it is banished to the earpiece where it can be barely heard. Not only does this make it difficult for a blind user to navigate and perform gestures on the phone, but it also means that only what I say is recorded, whatever Voiceover speaks or does not speak is not captured on the screen recording video. As I said, this used to be different. When screen recording was first introduced as a feature Voiceover continued to speak on the external speaker and what was spoken was captured on the video. This allowed a blind person to demonstrate accessibility issues in apps or iOS itself. If, for example, certain buttons were only spoken as "button" without a description as to their purpose I could have made a screen recording to demonstrate this and then sent the recording to the developer asking if the problem could be fixed in a future update. In iOS 11 or at least the last time I used screen recording for this purpose which I am pretty sure was in iOS 11, I could still accomplish this by connecting to a Bluetooth speaker, the audio would remain on the Bluetooth speaker and would be captured on the video. Today I wanted to make a screen recording to show somebody how to do something in an app and while Voiceover continued to speak via the Bluetooth speaker, after I finished and played back the video I heard my own voice as I was explaining the gestures I performed, but there was no trace of Voiceover which really baffles me because all along Voiceover could be heard loud and clear via the Bluetooth speaker. How is it possible that my voice which is an external sound is recorded, but Voiceover coming from the Bluetooth speaker, also an external sound, was not picked up by the microphone? I use an iPhone 6S Plus so after this didn't work with a Bluetooth speaker I used a wired speaker and plugged it into the 3.5mm audio jack of my iPhone. Once again Voiceover came from the speaker loud and clear. I started the screen recording and made sure that microphone was turned on. After I finished I played back the video only to find that again I could be heard clearly but Voiceover could not be heard at all. I don't have access to other phones such as an iPhone 7, 8 or higher to see if screen recording behaves differently, but I would really like to urge Apple to consider to make screen recording once again accessible and, what is equally important, useful for a visually impaired user with respect to making a demo which includes what Voiceover speaks.
