RE: watchOS 4: How to customize and use the new Siri face on Apple Watch

[Simon Fogarty]

Hi Krister,

 Well did you get up to 88 miles per hour when trying to time travel?

That might be part of the issue,

At 88 M p/h you get lights coming out of the flux capacitor  that helps make 
the time travel happen!

Hi,
Either i have misunderstood something obvious and simple or there’s something 
wrong with my Apple watch series 2 because the time travel thing has never 
worked for me.

Hello All,

With the release of iOS 11, I received a message from Apple indicating that 
they had resolved the iOS iBook VoiceOver continuous reading bug, described in 
my original bug report, and that they wanted me to confirm this.

I am delighted to report that the bug, as I originally described in iOS 10, has 
been successfully resolved with the release of iOS 11.  

I have already sent my congratulations and appreciation to Apple and wanted to 
update you on this issue.  

I will paste in my previous post on this in order to refresh your memory on 
this matter.

Here's one for the team, eh?

Subject: Even in iOS 10.1 the iBook VoiceOver Continuous Reading Bug Continues

Hello Everyone,

A while ago I posted to the groups describing what I consider to be an iBook 
VoiceOver continuous reading bug given that the behavior did not occur in 
previous versions of iOS.  

After posting, a couple of iOS beta testers reported that this issue had been 
resolved in iOS 10.1.  

Well, as you can guess, I updated to iOS 10.1 and the bug, in my opinion, 
persists.  

I am going to paste in a modified copy of my previous post on this and see if 
any of you can reproduce it in iOS 10.1.

[ORIGINAL TEXT]
My preferred method for reading iOS iBook titles is to use the two-finger, 
swipe-down VoiceOver gesture, in order to initiate continuous reading of the 
text.  Please note that I am not referring to the Speak Screen accessibility 
feature.

In short, my display is set to automatically lock after 30 seconds.  In the 
previous versions of IOS, performing a 2-finger swipe down, in an iBook title, 
would suspend the auto-lock and allow for continuous reading of the text.  This 
does not appear to be the case, any longer.

This is to say, in certain titles, such as those containing imbedded 
hyperlinks, the auto-lock engages, cancelling the continuous reading mode.

I first discovered this, last night, while reading the Apple TV User Guide.
The same phenomenon occurred when I tested my hypothesis with the iPhone User 
Guide for iOS 10 and iPhone User Guide for iOS 9.3.  

At first, I thought it was some kind of issue with titles produced by Apple but 
I tested a recently published (non Apple) title, that has a web link imbedded 
in the text, and, just as with the Apple manuals, after less than 1 minute, the 
screen locked and reading ceased.  

It should be noted, that the hyperlinks that exist in the Table of Contents, 
used to jump to a specific area, does not cause interruption to the continuous 
reading feature.  I say this because titles in my Library, containing only such 
links, read as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.
>From Settings/General/Display and Brightness, set Auto Lock to 30 seconds.

2.
In iBook, open the Apple TV User Guide and, from the table of contents, select 
Home Sharing; or, open the iPhone User Guide for iOS 10 and, from the table of 
contents, select Basics.

3.
Once the desired page is displayed, perform the two-finger swipe-down VoiceOver 
gesture to initiate continuous reading.  

As I said, in my testing, each time either an imbedded hyperlink or heading is 
encountered, a short time later, the screen will lock and reading will stop.  

Please confirm if this occurs during your testing.

I would like to note that, this problem does not occur when using the Speak 
Screen accessibility feature.  While certainly useful in some instances, the 
Speak Screen feature is not my preferred method for reading iBook titles.

iOS 11 Maps VoiceOver Reading-Turn-Instruction Bug

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

Below my signature, you will see a bug report I recently submitted to Apple.


Please join me in requesting that this bug be resolved in a future release
of iOS 11.  

Please feel free to use any or all of the following text in your feedback
submissions.

If you are a developer, please use the Apple Bug Reporter.

If you are not a developer, without going into details as to why, I
strongly, strongly recommend that you submit your feedback directly to apple
at:
https://www.apple.com/feedback/

or, if you prefer, make your submission to the accessability team via email.


Regardless of which of the above methods you choose, I also encourage you to
send feedback, via the feedback utility, located inside the iOS Maps app,
itself.  To do this:

1.
Open the iOS Maps app.

2.
Select Settings.

3.
Select Report an Issue.  If this is your first time doing so, you will have
to agree to the terms of the feedback utility.

4.
Select Other Issue, General App Feedback.

5.
Enter up to 1000 characters of a description.

6.
Select the Send button, located near the upper right corner of the display.


That's all there is to it.

Okay, as always, thank you for your support.

Mark

[BEGIN BUG REPORT]
TITLE:
iOS 11 Maps VoiceOver Reading-Turn-Instruction Bug 

DESCRIPTION:
Unlike in iOS 10, in iOS 11, VoiceOver does not read the turn-direction
information, located at the top of the display, in a live route.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.
Make certain that VoiceOver is enabled.

2.
Launch the Maps apps.

3.
Set a destination and select the Go button to begin the route.

Siri will announce a direction instruction; for example, "In one mile, turn
left onto Main Street."  As one travels, the dynamic distance value to Main
Street is displayed near the top of the screen, complete with an image
reflecting the upcoming turn instruction.  

However, when a VoiceOver user places focus on this area in order to hear
the turn instruction along with the diminishing distance value and the
street name, unlike in previous versions of iOS where a VoiceOver user
could, via single-finger swipe gesture, place focus on any of these three
elements, VoiceOver can now access the distance value and street name, only.

In order for a VoiceOver user to hear the turn instruction, on demand,
she/he must single-finger, double-tap the upper left corner of the display
after which he/she must single-finger, double-tap this area again, in order
to return to normal VoiceOver screen navigation functionality.  

In short, in iOS 11, a VoiceOver user is now required to use two additional
gestures in order to obtain on-demand travel instructions in a live Route.
Please keep in mind that many blind and low vision travelers use a cane,
guide dog, or some kind of navigation-assistance tool, requiring the use of
one hand at all times, making the cost of these two additional gestures
extremely high.

I fervently request that VoiceOver Maps app functionality be restored to
that of iOS 10 so that the upcoming turn-instruction, distance, and upcoming
street name can be read from the same display screen.

Thank you.

64 bit radium not working after upgrade

[Mary Otten]

Hello all. This is the verbatim text of an email I got from a friend of mine 
who is very upset that he has lost the usability of Radium after upgrade. As 
you'll see in the text, radium was working fine for him, that is the 64-bit new 
version, until he upgraded. Now, he's out of luck. Does anybody have any advice 
here? Here is the text.

I’ve installed IOS 11.01 on my iPad Mini and my Iphone 6@-plus and Radium does 
not work correctly on either device. The 64-bit version of Radium worked great 
on my Iphone running IOS 10.3. I updated my iOS and brought up Radium. Now when 
I try to flick right to get to my stations I can’t get past my first selected 
station, playback toggle, share song or station and look for additional 
stations. No matter how often I flick right I can’t get Radium to move off the 
initial station and those other choices.
Sometimes it goes to another station, but randomly.
I uninstalled radium, but all the app store will let me do when I search for 
Radium is to re-download the app. When I do that and open it has my same 
stations and I get the same problem. I’ve uninstalled and re-downloaded twice 
with no luck.
The same exact thing happens on my iPad mini. No matter how often I flick right 
I can’t get past my initially selected station. 
Any help would be most appreciated.
I’m really regretting having upgraded.  How do I roll back?
Thanks.

iOS 11, voiceover, iPad and Bluetooth keyboard

[Mary Otten]

I'm sending this message out to a few lists, because I am interested to know 
about folks experiences with iOS 11 and iPads. I'm interested in the new 
functionality that iOS 11 brings with multiple applications open, dragging and 
dropping at Cetera. I know it is early days, but I'm just wondering if there is 
usable efficient functionality here, especially if you're going to use a 
Bluetooth keyboard with an iPad.

Re: Hide the annoying app dock in iOS 11's Messages app - CNET

Thank you, I finally got this to work! I found I had to touch the button, not 
flick to it, and try a few times to get the downward flick just right, but the 
app bar is gone! If anyone else tries this and it doesn't work right off, keep

Re: File Vault Nightmare

[John Panarese]

  Even with FileVault, you can turn on VoiceOver and get speech feedback for 
the prompts. You should first enter your account and hit enter. Then, type your 
password and hit enter.

As for turning off the MBP, provided you have a touch bar, you can hold the 
power button for a second and you should get the authentication window to 
shutdown. Also, it's on the Apple menu as well. I believe if you press the FN 
key with the control-option-command and power button, that should turn it off 
too. I'll have to check that on my MBP.

File Vault Nightmare

[Donna Goodin]

Hi, all,

So, unbeknownst to me, it seems that FileVault is activated by default on the 
new MBPs.

This morning I shut my computer off by force quit, because I couldn't get it to 
shut down normally.  When I got home from work, I tried to restart it.  
Apparently FileVault was activated.

I always keep the screen dimmed to save battery power. So, I entered my 
username, and got absolutely no feedback as to whether it had been entered, 
much less whether it was entered correctly.  Then I entered my password.  I got 
the error that my login was incorrect.  I know my password, I was able to 
successfully enter it on my old MBA.  But repeated tries yielded the same error.

After a few tries, I lost VO altogether.  Unfortunately, I keep the screen 
dimmed, to save battery power.  So at  one point in this saga, I found myself 
without VO, and without the ability to brighten the screen, so I could get 
sighted assistance.  Eventually, my husband put on two pairs of reading 
glasses, so he could read what was on the screen.  The only way out of my 
problem seemed to be to deactivate FileVault.

What was especially frustrating was the lack of VO support, and the lack of 
ability to navigate the screen.  For example, I had no way to determine that my 
username had been entered correctly. my husband eventually saw that there were 
options like "Forgot Password" "keyboard not working" and so on,  I never saw 
any of that.  Also, I was completely unable to adjust output.  I could not 
brighten the screen, so my husband could see it.  I could not turn VO on or 
off.  I was really wondering at one point whether I was locked out of my MBP 
permanently.  I don't ever want to go through this again!

So I know that some of you actually like FileVault.  How the  do you log in?
TIA,
Donna

touch recognition on latest MBP?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi, all,

So I believe I have it activated. I did the whole finger-print scan thing.  But 
when trying to restart my MBP today, my fingerprint was not recognized.  Any 
thoughts?  If this seems vague, what are you supposed to be able to do once 
your fingerprint is recognized in the initial setup?
Cheers,
Donna

shutting down latest MBP?

[Donna Goodin]

Hi all,

How does one do this?  Thus far, the only way I've found is to do a force quit 
by pressing and holding the Eject key.

ever music not connecting to my Pcloud account.

[Jessica Moss]

I’ve been using the evermusic app on my Iphone, which I love, especially sense 
I was, the key word being “was,” able to use it with my Pcloud account. 
However, something went wrong, which I forget what that that something was, so 
I decided to delete the account from within the app and add it again hoping 
that would fix the problem.
  However, I’ve tried to add it again, put in my log in info, which I know is 
correct, it has the title of the account as “Pcloud,” and it gives me an error, 
but won’t tell me what, followed by the word “canceled,” with an ok button.  
Has anyone else had this issue?  I’ve tried to do google searches in order to 
resolve this, and can’t find a thing, so if anyone can help, I’d really 
appreciate it.

RE: Uber App and a Guide Dog

[Karen Lewellen]

Oh neither is mine, I remember when the NFB wanted the state of new York to 
bar   the use of service animals in public buildings...and I do not use a 
dog myself. 
Still, that is all the more reason for uber to incorporate this process 
into the app 
itself.  Or find an objective way to gather this information.

Also note, that the NFB set up a survey that you can fill out to show the

results of your trip with UBEr or List.  It asks where you were traveling,
when, and with whom. It then asks if the driver knew and abided by the
non-discrimination laws. There is also a question about the accessibility of
the apps themselves. Of course, NFB gets money from Lift / Uber to certify
that they are not being discriminatory but none of that rolls down to you
for actually doing the compliance checks.

Subject: Re: Uber App and a Guide Dog

After Uber was sued and lost, they adopted a zero-tollerance policy around

discrimination of guide dogs. In other words, if the driver abandons someone
because of a guide dog, place a complaint through the app and Uber will
dismiss the driver. When it happened to me, Uber gave me a $10 credit.


When I had a guide dog in the US, I experienced significantly more

discrimination from taxi drivers, and the taxi companies never provided me
the identifying information so I could progress complaints (talk about
behaving above the law). Personally, I prefer Uber's response as they
changed their policies and practices after they lost the lawsuit.


Note: In Australia and New Zealand, the taxi companies have

zero-tollerance policies regarding guide dogs, so I have not had any
difficulties in either country regarding my guide dog and taxis.

RE: Uber App and a Guide Dog

why should ubber pay anyone to survey something that  cannot be generalized

I cannot speak to the app itself, but given how many travel variation's

Also note, that the NFB set up a survey that you can fill out to show the 
results of your trip with UBEr or List.  It asks where you were traveling, 
when, and with whom. It then asks if the driver knew and abided by the 
non-discrimination laws. There is also a question about the accessibility of 
the apps themselves. Of course, NFB gets money from Lift / Uber to certify that 
they are not being discriminatory but none of that rolls down to you for 
actually doing the compliance checks.

After Uber was sued and lost, they adopted a zero-tollerance policy around 
discrimination of guide dogs. In other words, if the driver abandons someone 
because of a guide dog, place a complaint through the app and Uber will dismiss 
the driver. When it happened to me, Uber gave me a $10 credit.

When I had a guide dog in the US, I experienced significantly more

Apple posts new security documents about Face ID

[Maria Reyes]

Apple has taken steps to educate potential owners of the iPhone X about Face ID 
ahead of its release on Nov. 3, releasing a white paper alongside a support 
document that explains how the biometric authentication technology works to 
keep the user's data secure.


Found within Apple's revamped privacy pages, the Face ID Security white paper 
gives an overview of how Face ID operates, as well as how users can expect to 
use the authentication system. Introduced as a replacement for Touch ID in the 
iPhone X, the six-page document is an attempt to convince wary potential users 
that Face ID is at least as secure as the well-known Touch ID, and that they 
have little to fear from the security change.

Along with the white paper, Apple has updated its support pages to include a 
briefer explanation of the technology and its security.

The overview of FaceID explains simply that the TrueDepth camera system 
accurately maps the geometry of the user's face using "advanced technologies," 
which consists of an infrared camera, a 7-megapixel camera sensor, a flood 
illuminator, and a dot projector. Confirming the attention of the user by 
detecting the direction of their gaze, Face ID then uses neural networks to 
match and prevent spoofing attempts to unlock the phone, with the system 
automatically adapting to changes in the user's appearance over time.

A passcode must be set up on the iPhone X before the user can set up Face ID, 
with Apple advising the passcode can be made longer and more complex as it will 
not need to be entered frequently. The passcode will still be requested from 
users in a number of circumstances, including when the iPhone X has just been 
turned on or restarted, hasn't been unlocked for more than 48 hours, the device 
has been remotely locked, after five failed Face ID unlock attempts, and after 
initiating an Emergency SOS mode.

Users will also be required to use the passcode if it hasn't been used to 
unlock the iPhone X in the last 156 hours and if Face ID has not been used 
successfully in the last four hours. When Face ID is enabled, the device will 
immediately lock when the side button is pressed or when the device goes to 
sleep, with either the facial match or passcode required to wake the iPhone X 
each time.

As raised during the September unveiling, it is claimed Face ID has a one in a 
million chance of being unlocked by a random person looking at the iPhone X, 
compared to a 1 in 50 thousand false positive chance for Touch ID. The chance 
of a false match does increase for twins and siblings who bear a similar 
appearance to one another, as well as for children under the age of 13, which 
Apple claims is due to the possibility that distinct facial features may not 
have fully developed, with Apple suggesting to keep using the passcode to 
authenticate in these cases.


Going into more detail about how the system works, the document explains over 
30,000 infrared dots are projected onto the user's face and are read by the 
TrueDepth camera, with a depth map and 2D infrared image combined to create a 
sequence of images and depth maps that are digitally signed and stored in the 
Secure Enclave. For extra security, this sequence is randomized, with the 
infrared dot pattern also given a device-specific randomization.

A section of the A11 Bionic chip's neural engine, protected within the Secure 
Enclave, turns this data into a mathematical representation, which is then 
compared to the enrolled facial data, itself a mathematical representation of 
the user's face captured during enrollment. An additional neural network, 
trained to detect spoofing attempts, is also used in the facial data analysis.

There are three types of Face ID data that are encrypted and stored in the 
Secure Enclave, data which Apple insists does not leave the device, is not sent 
to Apple, and is not included in device backups. The infrared images and 
mathematical representations created during enrollment are stored alongside any 
other mathematical representations calculated during some unlock attempts, if 
Face ID deems them useful to improve future matching attempts.

This extra stored data is useful to the iPhone X as it provides more reference 
points for Face ID to authenticate the user, allowing it also to take into 
account both temporary and longer-term changes in their appearance.

As the neural networks may update over the device's ownership, the iPhone X 
will be able to automatically run any stored images within the Secure Enclave 
through the updated neural network. To minimize the amount of background 
information, the enrollment images are cropped to just the user's face. Face 
images captured during unlocking are not saved, and are immediately discarded 
once the mathematical representation has been calculated.


As for daily use outside of unlocking the iPhone X, Apple includes sections 
explaining how Face ID works with Apple Pay and with third-party apps.

PDF improvements in iOS 11?

[Mary Otten]

There were supposed to be improvements for both Mac and iOS devices with the

Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone or iPad

[Mary Otten]

I know there have been issues in the past with funky Bluetooth keyboard 
connectivity with I-devices. I wonder if that situation has become more stable, 
and has anyone on any of these lists use the logitech K4 80 keyboard with their 
i-device? It is appealing because you can use it with three devices at the same 
time, such as a Mac or a Kindle or a PC etc.

Re: Contacts syncing

[Jonathan Cohn]

Well, first you need to decide if you want to keep your contacts from now
on  in Google or in iCloud.

In either case, I think the easiest thing to do if you have a Macintosh is
to
1. Go to All my Google contacts


2. Select all the contacts you want to migrate from the contact list.
Unless you pic all, this can get confusing and might need a seperate
message to the list.
3. Go into the file menu  and click export  menu item . This should ask you
for where you want to save your contact list.
4. Go into the System Preferences App and Select Internet Accounts.
5. Find and select the Google account in the account table.
6. There is a table below this that lists services you get from Google.
Each one has a check box. Uncheck the contacts.

Now you will not be getting Google contacts on your computer.
At this point you can go back to the contacts app and import the contacts
you exported above. There is a import menu item and it should allow you to
select the file you saved in step  .   3.

It also might be useful for folks to save their contacts using file export
on a semi regular basis just in case you or the contact provider somehow
messes up, in which case you can still find Aunt Mabel's address locally

How would I go about choosing just one cloud source?  I'm so ignorant Jonathan, 
I can't quite understand how it works or where I'd choose such a source.  If 
you had the time, would you direct me to an article or some other simple source 
so that I'd understand how these things work?  I've been through "Contacts" 
preferences but couldn't see anything that would help.  Should I stop (uncheck) 
sinking my contacts to Google account that I also have and just leave the 
syncing to iCloud account?
And how would I migrate or combine my google contacts with icloud contacts?

Many thanks

For those of you who were bothered by the delete action staying the selected

Re: Contacts syncing

[Jonathan Cohn]

I would just select one cloud source and use that. If you don't use iCloud
web interface but you do use googles web interfaces then I suggest you
migrate all your contacts over to Google and then remove iCloud contacts
from your Apple devices. Otherwise, you will find that you never quite have
the right information.  Generally, for iPhone / Macintosh contacts
applications the all contact information is primarily sourced in the cloud
(iCloud, Google Exchange or LinkedIn) These systems all have was  pf
informing your devices anytime something has changed in their master copy.
Then the Contacts app will replace the copy stored in the computer.

Several years ago, the Mac or perhaps a plugin I had on my windows phone
tried to do things like you describe and my systems ended up eating large
amounts of time and battery copying updates from Exchange to device  to
phone to computer to exchange and back again. Modern technologies keep the
master in a server and then download updates as necessary, this works for
calendars with CalDav and Mail with IMAP.

RE: Uber App and a Guide Dog

[David & his pack of dogs]

Sorry, when there is money coming from the agency being surveyed, I call into 
question the validity of the survey and whether the answers not wanted go into 
file 13. I guess as I get older, I become more sinical especially when it comes 
to blind agencies.

when, and with whom. It then asks if the driver knew and abided by the 
non-discrimination laws. There is also a question about the accessibility of

After Uber was sued and lost, they adopted a zero-tollerance policy around 
discrimination of guide dogs. In other words, if the driver abandons someone 
because of a guide dog, place a complaint through the app and Uber will dismiss 
the driver. When it happened to me, Uber gave me a $10 credit.

When I had a guide dog in the US, I experienced significantly more 
discrimination from taxi drivers, and the taxi companies never provided me the 
identifying information so I could progress complaints (talk about behaving 
above the law). Personally, I prefer Uber's response as they changed their 
policies and practices after they lost the lawsuit.

Note: In Australia and New Zealand, the taxi companies have zero-tollerance 
policies regarding guide dogs, so I have not had any difficulties in either 
country regarding my guide dog and taxis.

Re: I don't want the recent tracks on Itunes

[Jonathan Cohn]

Please note, at one point I posted an Apple Script that would say what the
next scheduled song in iTunes would be. This script by necessity opens the
recent history view. I expect an opposite script could be written.

Also, if it is the fact that iTunes is tracking your history and not the
fact that it displays this, then I just suggest you go out and learn Linux
 Apple, Google  and Microsoft all track various items and in some cases
especially for Microsoft and Google send this information back to
mothership home.

(Please don't get political about last sentence... It is just a bit of
humous  / opps humous   thrown in. I might not even fully agree with what
it implies. )

Re: I don't want the recent tracks on Itunes

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

It should not repeat once removed from the sidebar.  I guess that it's possible 
that it could return upon an iTunes update, but really, it should not as 
preferences are maintained through most updates.

RE: Uber App and a Guide Dog

[Karen Lewellen]

Was this right behind Toronto?
Know idea about uber, but regularly Toronto's taxi association gets 
complaints about this I am told.  So often in fact that they  have a 
dedicated  contact just for them.
Uber is an interesting travel choice regardless, just ask the women who 
have been assaulted by some of their drivers.
The ap should? have an option for notifying, within the system, that a 
passenger comes with extras.  That might  encompass  many things  creating 
an 
inclusive approach.

After Uber was sued and lost, they adopted a zero-tollerance policy around 
discrimination of guide dogs. In other words, if the driver abandons someone 
because of a guide dog, place a complaint through the app and Uber will dismiss 
the driver. When it happened to me, Uber gave me a $10 credit.

When I had a guide dog in the US, I experienced significantly more 
discrimination from taxi drivers, and the taxi companies never provided me the 
identifying information so I could progress complaints (talk about behaving 
above the law). Personally, I prefer Uber's response as they changed their 
policies and practices after they lost the lawsuit.

Note: In Australia and New Zealand, the taxi companies have zero-tollerance 
policies regarding guide dogs, so I have not had any difficulties in either 
country regarding my guide dog and taxis.

Re: Problems with messages app in iOS 11

[Phil Halton]

This is happening for me as well, I’m not seeing all the messages. Also, as far 
as the actions menu, sometimes it defaults to the delete function instead of 
the activate function at least this is what is happening in the mail app. So, I 
sometimes wind up deleting a message instead of activating it when tapping on 
it. Now I have to be sure to be on the activate function by flicking up and 
down through the delete menu before tapping to ensure all I don’t delete a 
message mistakenly. Never used to be this way before. I have no workarounds to 
offer. Sent from my IPhone

Hi,

Navigate to the Recently Added item in the Library Sidebar, press VO-shift-m to

That should do it.

Re: vo+cmd+arrow keys for volume, speed etc in High Sierra gone?

[Ronald van Rhijn]

Thanks a lot. Thankfully the option is still available with the additional 
shift key.
I will have to look out for a list of all the new High Sierra accessibility 
features and shortcuts.

Ronald

Re: watchOS 4: How to customize and use the new Siri face on Apple Watch

I've never understood the whole timeline thing, either.  I seem to engage it at 
odd times when I'm not trying to, but just now, when I tried to make it work, I 
couldn't.

In iOS 11, The iBook VoiceOver Continuous Reading Bug has Been Resolved

[M. Taylor]

Hello All,

With the release of iOS 11, I received a message from Apple indicating that
they had resolved the iOS iBook VoiceOver continuous reading bug, described
in my original bug report, and that they wanted me to confirm this.

I am delighted to report that the bug, as I originally described in iOS 10,
has been successfully resolved with the release of iOS 11.  

I have already sent my congratulations and appreciation to Apple and wanted
to update you on this issue.  

I will paste in my previous post on this in order to refresh your memory on
this matter.

Here's one for the team, eh?

Mark

Subject: Even in iOS 10.1 the iBook VoiceOver Continuous Reading Bug
Continues

Hello Everyone,

A while ago I posted to the groups describing what I consider to be an iBook
VoiceOver continuous reading bug given that the behavior did not occur in
previous versions of iOS.  

After posting, a couple of iOS beta testers reported that this issue had
been resolved in iOS 10.1.  

Well, as you can guess, I updated to iOS 10.1 and the bug, in my opinion,
persists.  

I am going to paste in a modified copy of my previous post on this and see
if any of you can reproduce it in iOS 10.1.

[ORIGINAL TEXT]
My preferred method for reading iOS iBook titles is to use the two-finger,
swipe-down VoiceOver gesture, in order to initiate continuous reading of the
text.  Please note that I am not referring to the Speak Screen accessibility
feature.

In short, my display is set to automatically lock after 30 seconds.  In the
previous versions of IOS, performing a 2-finger swipe down, in an iBook
title, would suspend the auto-lock and allow for continuous reading of the
text.  This does not appear to be the case, any longer.

This is to say, in certain titles, such as those containing imbedded
hyperlinks, the auto-lock engages, cancelling the continuous reading mode.

I first discovered this, last night, while reading the Apple TV User Guide.
The same phenomenon occurred when I tested my hypothesis with the iPhone
User Guide for iOS 10 and iPhone User Guide for iOS 9.3.  

At first, I thought it was some kind of issue with titles produced by Apple
but I tested a recently published (non Apple) title, that has a web link
imbedded in the text, and, just as with the Apple manuals, after less than 1
minute, the screen locked and reading ceased.  

It should be noted, that the hyperlinks that exist in the Table of Contents,
used to jump to a specific area, does not cause interruption to the
continuous reading feature.  I say this because titles in my Library,
containing only such links, read as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.
>From Settings/General/Display and Brightness, set Auto Lock to 30 seconds.

2.
In iBook, open the Apple TV User Guide and, from the table of contents,
select Home Sharing; or, open the iPhone User Guide for iOS 10 and, from the
table of contents, select Basics.

3.
Once the desired page is displayed, perform the two-finger swipe-down
VoiceOver gesture to initiate continuous reading.  

As I said, in my testing, each time either an imbedded hyperlink or heading
is encountered, a short time later, the screen will lock and reading will
stop.  

Please confirm if this occurs during your testing.

I would like to note that, this problem does not occur when using the Speak
Screen accessibility feature.  While certainly useful in some instances, the
Speak Screen feature is not my preferred method for reading iBook titles.  

Mark
