Re: BARD 2.0 is in the app store

RE: Another Phone That Won't Talk After Reboot

[Vicky Collins]

I had this same thing happen with both my 12 Mini and 13 Mini Friday night, but I haven’t had the problem with either phone since. I’m using the default Samantha voice, and I had no problems when upgrading to iOS 16. With the 13 Mini, I had turned the phone off to get rid of that one unread message badge I often get now when I receive a text message on one of my phones and delete it right after reading. Since I have text message forwarding set up on both of my phones, the phone on which I don’t read the text shows that badge until I either recover the message I have deleted on the other phone or until I reboot that phone on which I haven’t read the message. Anyway, after turning that iPhone 13 Mini back on, VoiceOver did not speak or make any sounds, and nothing I did from trying to talk to Siri, using headphones, turning up the volume button, doing the triple click of the side button or force restarting the phone would bring back the speech. I finally got my 12 Mini to read the screen with Seeing AI, and after pressing the side button to get it where it needed to be, it finally read the slide to unlock or whatever it says, and I lucked into getting the phone into the correct position with the slide I did, and then I miraculously entered the passcode correctly and VoiceOver started talking once again. Before getting to this point, though, I had had enough unsuccessful attempts at entering that passcode to where I had to wait the fifteen minutes before I got the opportunity that actually let me unlock the phone and restore VoiceOver. As for my 12 Mini, while I had turned it off for the same reason as the 13 Mini, meaning another text message badge I wanted to get rid of as I had permanently deleted a message on the 13 Mini and thus couldn’t recover it on the 12 Mini to get rid of that badge, I wasn’t nearly as fortunate with recovering VoiceOver. For, even though I practiced positioning my fingers on the 13 Mini so I would be ready when I could get the 12 Mini to that unlock position, I somehow managed to enter the incorrect passcode every time, figuring this since VoiceOver never did start talking. I let this go on for my opportunity to enter the passcode after an hour, but when that attempt failed and the screen read that my 12 Mini would now be disabled for three hours, I decided to try other things. I couldn’t connect the phone to the computer and try to see if I could bring up the accessibility settings in iTunes because I had turned off the USB accessories setting that would’ve let USB accessories connect after the phone had been locked for an hour. I couldn’t turn the phone off as I normally do by pressing the volume up, then the volume down, and then pressing the side button for a second or two, and I was afraid to try to turn the phone off with holding the side button and one of the volume buttons as I didn’t want to risk calling 911 by mistake, so I wasn’t able to put the 12 Mini in recovery mode either. Oh, although VoiceOver didn’t work, I was able to call either phone when VoiceOver wasn’t working and each would ring even though there was no speech except me hearing myself when I would occasionally get that swipe just right and I managed to get a call connected. Thus, what I wound up doing in the end, as I certainly wasn’t going to knock on a neighbor’s door late at night, was that I went into the Find My app on my 13 Mini, erased the iPhone 12 Mini, and then set up the 12 Mini again restoring it from the iCloud backup I had thankfully done the day before. Sent from Mail for Windows From: Arnold SchmidtSent: Thursday, September 15, 2022 9:17 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Another Phone That Won't Talk After Reboot I have a friend, who has a 13 Pro, that experienced the same issue as described earlier. He turned it off overnight, and this morning, VoiceOver would not respond when he turned it on. Neither turning up the volume, nor doing the three-finger double tap would fix it. He said the clicks he heard when touching the screen were not the clicks heard when speech simply had been turned off.  He had to get a sighted person to enter his pass code before it would work. He is a good iphone user, he said that nothing he tried would get it to work. I hope these are isolated incidents, I put it out there for others to test. He said that he had had no problem with IOS 16, until this incident.  Arnold Schmidt   Sent from  Arnold's  iPhone S E 2 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.  Mark can be reached at:  mk...@ucla.edu.  Your list owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at caraqu...@caraquinn.com The archives for this list can be searched 

Another issue

[Maria Campbell]

I don't know if this is an Apple or Facebook problem.  For quite a while 
now, when I dictate in Facebook, there are spaces at the end of my 
dictation.  Anyone else experiencing this, and is there a fix?

Sluggish Siri

[Maria Campbell]

Since upgrading to IOS 16, I find Siri to be somewhat sluggish, both 
when listening and responding.  Before, I could ask a question and when 
asked if I wanted to hear more, I could almost whisper yes, and more 
information would be offered.  Now I have to speak quite loudly, but not 
all the time.  Siri just seems a bit off.

Re: dropbox issue

[Alan Lemly]

Voice Dream Reader had an update that came out last Saturday morning or 
thereabouts in preparation for iOS 16. This update contained a bug that caused 
the app to shut down whenever you opened any title in your VDR library for 
reading. This bug was reported to Winston Chen the developer and a corrected 
update was released in the App Store later the same day. 

The above bug sounds different than the one reported by Mary on behalf of her 
friend at the beginning of this threat. His issue seemed to be related to ePub 
files in VDR. Hopefully, Voice Dream Support will be able to help him.

I remember Voice Dream Reader came up with an update right before IOS 16 was 
released with the message that you should update before you install IOS 16. I’d 
check to make sure they’re running the latest version of VDR.

It used to be that I could put epub files in my Transfer folder in Dropbox on 
my computer and VoiceDream Reader would see those files whenever I wanted to 
add a book or two  to my VDR library. Now, for some reason, voice Dream Reader 
sees my folders, but doesn’t see any of the books I have in Transfer. I tried

I am using the latest version of Dropbox on a windows-10 machine and the latest
