Dear List is there a way to use a press 1 to do this press 2 to do that menu
using an Iphone with voice over? As soon as the main number starts ringing
voice over reduces in volume and there seems to be no access to the number
pad  to make selections. I remember that in anser to a question about
dialing extensions someone suggested using commas to cause a pause in the
touch tones, but your more likely to know someone's extension than you are
the numbers you need to select from a menu.  My carriers customer service
line involves a series of layered menus about six in total. The only way I
can think of to get around this is to dial the main number, remember  the
number to select from the first menu, hang up   ,add a comma and that digit
to the original number, then redial to get access to the second
menu,remember the number I need to make the selection, hang up, add a comma
and this digit to the original number and redial etc six times, and even
that assumes that the comma will put in the right length of pause to make
the menu work.  Am I missing something, is it really this painful? If it is
I don't understand why it can't be rigged so that if you touch the touch
screen within a certain interval of the phone ringing voice over raises in
volume just to give you the keypad but shuts up again as soon as you stop
touching it. What happens if you hit a number on a blue tooth keyboard while
the phone is making a call? I would be grateful for any advice.

 

Many Thanks, Lee

The page mumbers in Bookshare books are often braille numbers. VDR and other
apps have their own paging systems, so they will rarely if ever sync with
what the text claims. Voices are still paid, though you can now use the HQ
voices offered to VO users in iOS 7 for free.

I am using an Iphone 4s and the latest updates. Also voiceover.

 

I am reading Bookshare books with Voice Dream Reader.

 

As VO moves through the text, it will announce page numbers.  However, when
I stop reading, and verify the stats on the app, it tells me  I am on a
different page than what VO announced. Why is this?

 

Also,  I am still confused as to whether you can add new voices for free now
that the new Apple IOS updates are on, or do you still have to purchase new
voices through the store?

 

Thank You

 

David Gross
