Re: Questions regarding my Apple watch

[Donald Raikes]

Hi Anna and Malcolm,

I had the same question. I want to use my apple watch to track my
sleep but I don't want the watch talking throughout the night if I
move.

With these settings turned off, do I have to tap the watch to get it to talk?

Siri dictation has always been doing this although it does seem to be somewhat  
more accurate in iOS 17.

One thing Siri never seems to get right is the difference between "Flour" and 
"flower", I can dicate "Pleas also bring me 2 Kg of spelt flour" and it will 
always put "Please bring me 2 Kg of spelt flower".

English of course is also a ridiculously difficult language when it comes to 
stuff like that, I find dictation in German is almost always 100% accurate 
because there aren't so many words which sound the same but are totally 
different. As for the above example, "flower" in German is "Blume" and "flour" 
is "Mehl", no chance to get that wrong.

Re: siri sucks.

[Mary Otten]

I have found that most of the time, Siri dictation is really pretty accurate, more on the phone than on the watch. I’m using an older phone, a 10 r. My problem with Siri isn’t trying to get it to do simple things like open apps etc. It simply doesn’t hear what I say and comes back with really strange stuff a lot of the time. The only thing it never screws up is Open the app store. I wonder why that might be. Smile.MarySent from my iPhoneOn Aug 28, 2023, at 11:50 AM, Sieghard Weitzel  wrote:

English of course is also a ridiculously difficult language when it comes to stuff like that, I find dictation in German is almost always 100% accurate because there aren't so many words which sound the same but are totally different. As
 for the above example, "flower" in German is "Blume" and "flour" is "Mehl", no chance to get that wrong.

When i use dictation, sometimes the wrong word is entered, but certainly not the majority of the time. 

I try to 1: be in a quiet environment, 2: speak a little more slowly than I would ordinarily speak, 3: speak clearly, 4: Go over several times what I want to say in my head before dictating.

The following 

Can’t get premium and enhanced voices to download on my new SE 2022.

[Kerry Macdonald]

Hi all, I just purchased an iPhone SE 2022. No matter what I try I cannot get 
the Karen premium or Nathan enhanced voice is to download. I am working with 
Apple accessibility, and we have tried hard, resetting the phone, resetting my 
networks, checking for storage space on the phone and the cloud, and a number  
of other things in settings. Nothing has worked, has anyone had this problem or 
has any ideas or thoughts about this? Thanks.

Can’t get premium and enhanced voices to download on my new SE 2022.

Hello all, I just purchased a new SE 2022 to weeks ago. No matter what I try I 
cannot get the Karen premium or enhanced or the Nathan enhanced voices to 
download to this phone. I have done a hard reset on the phone, reset my 
network, make sure there is plenty of space on the phone and an iCloud, and 
another couple of things as well. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have not heard 
of anyone else having this problem. I am working with Apple accessibility, and 
we are trying some different things, but nothing has worked. Just wondering if 
anyone had any thoughts.

Re: siri sucks.

What I have done is when I am sending a text or an email is hold down the button and wait a few seconds after the ding sound.

RE: navigating my Iphone with my braille display

[Christopher Chaltain]

Yes, you'll need to use VoiceOver's braille commands.

Richard Turner has a nice list on his web site in a few different formats. 
https://www.turner42.com/


You can also find a list of braille keyboard commands for your braille display 
by going into Settings -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver -> Commands and then 
selecting your braille display in the Braille Devices section.

Hi Group,

I just purchased a focus 40 braille display. I am very new at it. I have read 
the manual but am a bit confused. Some of the keystrokes they mentioned don't 
work with the display when it is connected to the iPhone. Are there a separate 
set of keystrokes for the display when using it with the iPhone?

In any case, I got into a situation where the configuration menu should launch 
with the press of the menu key, but it does not.  I tried the various 
lock/unlock keystrokes and they don't seem to unlock anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
