Hello Brett, Your question is an excellent one and, by the way, thank you for alerting the developers of the VoiceOver challenges.
I want you to know that I encountered all of the obstacles you described. In fact, I was almost ready to give up on the app in then I had the idea to close the application by removing it via the App switcher, then, without restarting the phone, launch the App again and, low and behold, the Dictate button worked beautifully. For the record, I continue to use the 2-finger double-tap to end the dictation just as I do when using Siri to end my dictation. Also, the reason you sometimes hear a keyboard style VoiceOver feedback is because, underneath the Air dictate screen which simply displays the Dictate and Done buttons, respectively, is because, they are using their interface on top of a normal virtual keyboard input screen. Please also be aware that, even for non-VoiceOver users, the App is not consistently stable; I am convinced, however, that it can be made completely accessible with VoiceOver if enough of us contact the developers. One more thing, should you find that the App becomes unresponsive, just close the App and restart. I think this has something to do with the display not keeping up with VoiceOver or vice versa. To Everyone, in case you would like to learn more about that which Brett and I are discussing, go to the following site: http://avatron.com/apps/air-dictate Mark -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brett Campbell Sent: Friday, December 23, 2011 10:49 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Another Dictation Breakthrough Hello Mark, This news is good to hear, yet perplexing. I installed Air Dictate on my phone, along with the software for my Mac earlier today. I found the iPhone app to be unresponsive with VoiceOver. I couldn't activate the prompt to connect my phone with the Mac. With VoiceOver off, sighted assistance performed the connection instantly. Following the connection, I activated VoiceOver again. As I felt around the screen, it sounded like a keyboard was present, but my borrowed eyes said there was not a keyboard present. I managed to find the mic button, and completed one dictation. After that, the mic button was allusive, and when I managed to come across it, it was unresponsive. Please share how you found success with this app. I've contacted the dev, and they opened a ticket. They said perhaps it can be made VO accessible in the future. Thanks, Brett C. On Dec 23, 2011, at 10:05 PM, M.
