Hi Sharon, I usually have the auto correct feature turned off because I don't like how it works, but I just turned it on and used your example just in a notes app. First time round it also put Breaker in, but then I tried again and as soon as it suggested "Break" I deleted a character, the "k", then continued with "ley" and I got "Brealey" although Voiceover of course said it was misspelled. Give it a try, I always thought the auto correct feature was supposed to only put in the suggested word if what you hear is what you want and you then press the spacebar. In this case this does not seem to be the case because I very carefully typed "Brealey" and then pressed the spacebar and it put in "breaker". Only way around it was to let it suggest "Breaker", then to delete the "ker" and put "ley" in its place.
As for the Seeing Eye app running in the background and using data that definitely is not going to be happening right now since the app does not even work unless it has focus, e.g. if you exit the app by pressing the home key or even just lock the screen, the app stops working. The latter was something Mike pointed out as a major drawback and I agree. These GPS apps use enough battery as is and even if you turn the brightness down to 0, having the screen on all the time uses even more. If I double tap and hold on an app in the app switcher until I hear "Editing Apps" and then proceed to remove all apps by double tapping them, Voiceover on my 4S will say "App Switcher has no items" after the last app is gone. If I want to completely clear my app switcher, I usually touch the very first app on the left, hold my finger on it and then split tap with another finger. If you don't move the first finger, as the first app closes, the next app slides over so to speak under that finger and you can just continue to split tap as each app moves to the left into that position under your finger.

I am trying to enter an address in the text field and it will not accept what I type and keeps changing my word to Breaker when the street name is Brealey. How do I make the auto correct not take over? Also as Seeing Eye uses data, I am concerned about it running and using data when I may think it is off but may still be on. I have gone into app switcher doing double tap of the home button, doing the tap and hold until I hear editing apps when I can then do the split tap but voice over is not saying anything to tell me there is nothing left in the app switcher. I am sure it used to confirm the app switcher was empty. Advice greatly appreciated. Peace and Positivity Sharon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
