I think the problem occurs when people are using external keyboards. The corrections are not showing up on the screen and no amount of flicking does any good. The choices just are not being read by voice over. I have reported this to apple accessibility. They and I have exchanged a couple of emails about it. They said they could not reproduce the problem. I said try it with an external keyboard. Now they know and are working on it.

Regards,

Alan

I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone
hasn't met me yet.

There, you'll find free files of my arrangements and performances played on
the Yamaha Tyros 1 keyboard. The albums in Technics format formerly on my website are still available upon request. Thanks for listening!

Subject: Using Auto-Correction?


Hi Sandy and all,

Please review my reference below for information on how to use the iOS
autocorrect feature, but for now...

Here's how to use spell-check while you type:

1. Open Notes--almost typed Notepad. <Smile>.

2. When creating a new Note, while in the Note edit field type the following
exactly as written then press the spacebar:
brid

3. . After having pressed the spacebar in the step above, you will hear
"misspelled."

4. Now press the Delete button and you should hear a multiple bubble-pop
sound.
A list of spelling corrections will appear.

4. Single finger swipe to the left to review the list of possible
corrections.

5. When you find the word "bird" simply double-tap on the word to replace
the misspelled word.

6. Now enter a space and begin typing your next word.

This procedure will of course become easier with practice. <Smile>.

For more details please review the following source of my summarized
tutorial:

Hi Sandy,

I too am unable to access autocorrects list of alternative spellings. I'm
using the default iOS keyboard on my iPod Touch 5th gen within the Notes
app. If it matters, I'm using the following words to test autocorrect: dgo,
cta, birthday, hav.

Hi David,

   Sorry, still can't find them. I am using the Apple BT keyboard. Do you
have simple, step by step, instructions for me. I never used this before,
but am researching it for a friend who finds a bug when using this feature,
particularly, when writing emails.

   I do have it turned on in settings, plus I have "speak auto correction"
turned on under "accessibility", but only hear "misspelt" and that is all.

   Thanks,
   Sandy.

First, make sure auto correct is on in settings, general, keyboard.

When you hear the bubble sound, the suggestions usually appear at the
bottom of the screen.

Hi,

  I am just playing with the auto-correction function, running IOS 711 on
my 4s. However, it doesn't offer me alternatives, I do hear "misspelt",
but what do I do to find alternatives?

  Thanks for any help.

  Sandy.
