Yeah, I mean, the other calendar apps do announce the timeslots after the 
subject line. I suppose it isn’t an issue if you’re talking about all day 
events or the odd appointment, but like I said and for me, it may be a pretty 
unique situation, but dealing with hundreds of appts, where I have to listen to 
whatever is in the subject field (which can be a lot depending on what’s there) 
as well as the location address every single time before getting to the actual 
time really is becoming a no go.

I’m probably going to have to transition back to Google Calendar or something 
then.

Ah well..

Here is the reply I received from Flexibit Support about changing the order VO 
speaks appointment info.

Hi Richard,

There's no way to customize the order of information spoken by VoiceOver, but 
it may make sense to swap the date/time and location when spoken. We'll give 
this some thought and see if that makes sense.

Thanks,
Kent

Hi, I'm copying Fantastical help with this. 

I think this would be a great feature. To be able to customize the order in 
which appointment info is spoken.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is not currently possible.

But maybe the folks at Flexibits could chime in and let us know if this is even 
possibly on the drawing board?

Let me ask this…

So I have multiple calendars I have to manage. Some for business, other’s 
personal and family, etc.

I’ve found for me at least, using different calendar apps for different 
calendars helps to keep things separated/better organized rather than 
enabling/disabling calendars or otherwise flagging or assigning a color to them 
in one app.

I’m currently using Fantastical for some business appointments I need to keep 
track of. 

All in all it’s fine, but the one issue I’m coming across and is proving to be 
somewhat of an annoyance is that the way this app reads the appointment 
information, is that it’ll speak the subject line content, then the address 
info before getting to the actual appointment time.

I have to manage easy 200 appointments a month all at different times. Is there 
any way in Fantastical to change the order in which information is spoken with 
VO? I know with other apps/services, this can be done, but doing a superficial 
browse through the app settings, I didn’t immediately come across somewhere 
where I could rearrange this type of info announcement.

Is it just me or is the ability to do this simply not there?

 

Thanks,

You can also dictate a new appointment through Siri,  as if you were using the 
Apple Calendar App, and the  appointment will be entered into Fantastical. I do 
this all of the time.

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for this great description of the app. I really appreciate 
it. That was very helpful. I think I will definitely try it again. I still have 
it on my phone.

Thanks again, it’s much appreciated.

Well, I have used Fantastical since its early days. The developer is very 
responsive and took a partly accessible app and made it fully accessible over a 
relatively short time. 

It takes the information from the native calendar app and presents it in a much 
more useful way in my opinion.

In the month view, the top have of the screen is like a wall calendar or think 
of it like a braille calendar.

You have Sunday through Saturday across the screen and on the lower half of the 
screen is your appointments for the day you select.

When you add a new event, you can write out the information in one line and it 
will put the info into the correct fields.

For example" "Dr. Jones, 5/15/19, 1PM, 1 hour, at 155 Main street Los Angeles, 
CA"

Note, I separated each item with a comma"

When you then double tapped on the add button, The Appointment would be titled 
Dr. Jones.

on May fifteenth at 1 PM for one hour, the location would be the address...

Or, of course, you could go from field to field entering the start date, 
picking the time, and so on; but being able to write it out like one sentence 
is great!

The custom reoccurrences is better than the native calendar app.

There is more, but that to me is worth the $4.99.

Richard

Well I was wondering, how does this App exactly work?
And how can it be helpful when dealing with the calendar?
