RE: Guess I have more configuring to do Was: Reading notifications on the lock screen

2022-11-11 Thread Sieghard Weitzel 
Debbie, the reason you have to do the work by which I mean you have to set up 
which notifications you want Siri to read is because not everybody wants all or 
for that matter any notifications read automatically. This is no different from 
having to select the voice you want or adding/removing/reordering rotor items. 
I am by the way not saying there isn't room for improvement which I am sure 
there is. It will be interesting if the rumoured custom accessibility mode or 
whatever it will be called will make it into iOS 16.2 since as of public beta 2 
it does only to be hinted at, here is more about it from 9to5Mac:

iOS 16.2 'Custom Accessibility Mode' with streamlined experience for iPhone and 
iPad
Apple on Tuesday released iOS 16.2 beta 2 to developers as the company gets 
ready to make the update available to the public in December. Officially, it 
adds the new Freeform collaboration app
and improvements to the Home app. Under the hood, 9to5Mac found out that Apple 
has been working on a new “Custom Accessibility Mode” that will provide a 
“streamlined” experience for iPhone and iPad.
Custom Accessibility Mode Codenamed “Clarity,” this new mode basically replaces 
Springboard (which is the main iOS interface) with a more streamlined one. The 
feature, which is
still unavailable to users in the current beta, will be available as an 
accessibility option, aimed at making the iPhone and iPad interface more 
user-friendly for those users who may find it too complicated.
Apple internally describes Custom Accessibility Mode as a “customizable, 
streamlined way to use your iPhone and iPad.” In some ways, the new mode should
work similarly to the current Guided Access mode, which lets users lock their 
device to a single app. However, Custom Accessibility Mode will let users 
navigate through the system with some restrictions.
For example, users will be able to set things like UI and larger text, apps 
available on the Home Screen, allowed contacts, and access to hardware buttons 
for when Custom Accessibility Mode is enabled. A password can be set to prevent 
others from changing these settings. A triple-click on the side button (or Home 
button) quickly enables and disables Custom Accessibility Mode.
Once the mode is activated, even the interface of the apps becomes extremely 
simplified and with larger elements.
Even though Apple has been working on this Custom Accessibility Mode feature 
with iOS 16.2, it’s unclear whether it will become available to users with the 
official release of the update or with a future version of iOS.
Here are some exclusive screenshots showing the Custom Accessibility Mode 
interface. The lock screen is simplified with a “Hold Down to Enter” while the 
home screen has giant icons with no Dock. Apple’s native apps eliminate almost 
every aspect of the regular interface in favor of focusing on important and 
large elements.
More about iOS 16.2
Besides Custom Accessibility Mode, iOS 16.2 and iPadOS 16.2 include a few 
notable changes. The Freeform collaboration app is now available to iPad, 
iPhone,
and Mac users. There are also changes to the Home app, updates to the Weather 
app, and more. Here’s a rundown of everything we’ve discovered so far:
• Apple News integration appears in Weather app on iOS 16.2 beta with relevant 
regional stories
• Apple to let users keep Live Activities updated more frequently with iOS 16.2
• iOS 16.2 beta introduces new architecture to the Home app for a more reliable 
experience

• iOS 16.2 adds new Sleep widget for your Lock Screen, Medications widget also 
coming soon

• iOS 16.2 lets users report to Apple when Emergency SOS is unintentionally 
triggered

• tvOS 16.2 beta brings multi-user voice recognition to Siri on Apple TV.
• iPadOS 16.2 beta adds Freeform collaboration app, Stage Manager external 
display support
According to reporting from Bloomberg, iOS 16.2 is currently slated for a 
release sometime in mid-December. As always, it’s possible these updates are 
delayed or features are removed based on
development and testing progress over the next month.

  I have a tone for when I receive text messages.  I have it set to the Classic 
Duck.  It shows the duck is selected but it doesn’t always work in fact 
sometimes it does the one note ding sound which isn’t always easy to hear.  I 
talked with Apple Accessibility last night and we checked settings, focus and 
anything else the person I was working with could think of.  This didn’t start 
until after the latest update.  So my question is have any of you had this 
problem and if so could it be fixed?  Thanks!

Re: How to pair hearing aids with the iPhone?

2022-11-11 Thread regina alvarado 
Kay, I don’t have resound hearing aids, but if they are MFI certified, they should pair automatically. Perhaps there’s a setting that your hearing aids have to be in. I belong to a group of blind hearing aid users. I can ask there for you, but perhaps it’s the resounds you have. When I pair my oticons they automatically pair for me. Try the regular Bluetooth just in case that’s how they pair. I will check on the other list for you because I know  that some of the people have resound. Hopefully someone here has them also. On Nov 10, 2022, at 10:01 PM, Kay Malmquist  wrote:
