Re: Accessible robot vacuum cleaners.

2023-11-25 Thread Mike Arrigo
The roomba app is very accessible, but Roomba's navigation is behind the times, 
it uses a camera for navigation instead of Lidar, I would suggest something 
from Roborock, app is accessible and much better robots.

Kind of you to answer, and quickly indeed. I forgot the name "magic
tap" somehow, but I do know it is a
multi-function gesture.
But my actual question is, can I somehow remove from its set of
active functions the activation of the Music
app and its controls, which happens even if I have no music to play
in some cases. I don't use my phone for
music; I use other devices for that. When I think focus is in an
edit field but it's not, I know the gesture
will not activate dictation. But I'm asking how to keep the gesture,
at that time, from instead activating
Music controls, and sound if there's anything to play.
Thanks again.

Hi,
The two finger gesture you are referring to is known as a magic tap.
The reason for this is that it does several things. It will answer
or hang up a call, it will start and stop dictation, and it will
start and stop media from playing. If you want to use it for
dictation you will need to be sure the edit field, whether a text
message or an email or something else, is activated. If it isn't and
you perform the to finger double tap then that is when your media
such as music will start playing.
I hope that helps,
Gabe

I am using iOS 16 because I have an iPhone X, but I think what
follows also applies to iOS 17.
As of an update or few ago, there is a sequence I commonly perform
which results in surprise music; so I am
wanting to know how to stop the double-finger double-tap from
starting music playback. I have two reasons:
First of course to avoid startling myself and sometimes interfering
with dictation that I was actually trying
to start. Also though, I don't want the music controls on my lock
screen, as clearing them requires me to
launch and then close the Music app. These controls appear on my
lock screen even if there is no music to
play, so just clearing my library will not fully solve this problem.
The sequence that bites me so often, for anyone curious:
* Open iMessage and activate a specific conversation.
* Move to and double-tap the typing area. Focus should land in it
but now often then moves immediately to the
last message.
* Do a double-finger double-tap to start receiving dictation speech,
assuming focus is where I put it. When
it's not, I get the surprise.
Any info most welcome.

It is very accessible. There is nothing that you can't do with that model. Some models of that vacuum now clean better than others. So please look at reviews and talk to sales clerks about what the best recommendation is before you purchase.
