Just read your email mark on the weather in Amazon and dating and just want to say I am along with you looking for an accessible weather app with voiceover. Right now I am using the native weather app, and the weather channel app. They both tell me enough to get me by for right now, but, I would like a more accessible weather app. So Mark and everybody I hope this helps. I am along with you looking for an accessible Weather app that works well with voiceover. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 24, 2024, at 3:42 PM, M. Taylor wrote: Hello Everyone, Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I am delighted to report that last week's rain storms did not cause any further damage to my property so that is a good thing. Given the weather patterns here in the golden state, I have come to realize that the native Apple weather app is not the most accurate. So, based on the recommendation of several contractors who will be helping me get my property back in order, I started using the NOA website for my local precipitation predictions. NOA stands for: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. You can get your local forecast, online, by entering your Zip Code at http://www.weather.gov. In the US, virtually every app and news outlet uses NOA for their weather forecasts. Two things to note, here: 1. If one is willing to drill down a bit, one can find the same NOA info from within the native Apple weather app but, unless one understands how the data is formatted, I do not think the info is easily understandable. 2. While the Weather Channel app for iOS reflects the most accurate NOA data, astonishing as it is for me to believe, future casts are, in effect, inaccessible via VoiceOver. I mean, you can hear the data but unless you can see the display, you would be hard-pressed to have VO locate it. I would think that, after all these years, the Weather Channel app would be the best app for iOS; and yet, it is not. If any of you have any recommendations for free weather apps I could try, let me know. Okay, moving on: A while back, people were asking about online dating apps. Using a couple of these apps, I have gone on more than a few dates, with different women, recently; while not easy, these dating sites can work in meeting someone. It just takes patience and perseverance; so to those of you seeking someone special, hang in there and do not give up. Okay, onto Amazon / Audible news: So, 3 years ago, I purchased a Whisper Sync title in both Kindle and Audible format, at the same time, from Amazon. Long story short, I could not download the Kindle audible companion of the book last week. Now the Audible audio format of the title would play just fine. It took almost an hour to reach someone at Kindle support who said she would refund my money for the Audible version of the title if I could find the Audible purchase order number. She could see the Kindle order purchase number but she could not see the order number confirming that I had purchased the Audible version. Even with her help and patience, we could not locate the order number confirming my Audible purchase in my Amazon Library. Just before giving up, I realized that I keep every confirmation email I receive from Amazon in an email folder. It took about 15 more minutes but I was able to locate the number and when I gave it to her, she was able to see that I had, in fact, purchased the Audible version. So, she refunded my money. At the time I purchased the title, the cost was $7.99. However, the cost of that same title, today is $25.99. So, she refunded the $25.99 as that is the replacement cost of the title. I waited a few days, just to make certain that I received the refund then I purchased the title, again. My point? Always keep every email confirmation you receive from Amazon because you never know when you may need it. Okay, I think that about covers it, for now. I hope this finds you well and I look forward to your replies. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Traditionally i have always found the Uber Eats app to be accessible, but the app has gone through changes and i think that is changing. Today i attempted to place an order for McDonald's. I am using an iPhone SE 3rd generation with IOS 17.1.1. I notice that the spin boxes to change the quantity of items do not work. If the default for an item is 1, it stays at 1 no matter what you do. If the default is 0, like for something being added that is not a default, the quantity stays at 0 no matter what you do. Has anyone else experienced this?

Debby From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of R Van Lant Sent: Saturday, May 13, 2023 9:55 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: getting guidance while in an Uber Hi, Usually when I’m in an Uber or Lyft, the driver has audio guidance on and I can hear where we are, allowing me to feel like I know we’re going the way we should be. The other night, I had a situation where the driver did not have the audio on and we went a very different way than I’m used to. My sighted daughter was with me and she told me the road. I then opened Apple Maps and I could see that we were on that major road I knew. My daughter could also see the driver’s GPS and where he was being directed to turn. So, my question is, if I already have Uber or Lyft open, what other app makes sense to run to keep tabs on where we are? Is just having Apple Maps open what you do or do you recommend something else? I might have used soundscape in the past. I have BlindSquare, but I need to get in better practice of adjusting settings. In this case, I just wanted to know which road we were on and cross streets so that I knew if my safety was at risk. Thoughts appreciated.

After reading Jenny’s post, I used the mute hardware switch when the phone was both locked and unlocked. 1. When the phone is unlocked, Voiceover performs as expected. 2. However, when the phone is locked, regardless of the state of the switch when the phone was unlocked, VoiceOver says, “Unmuted.” Interesting, to say the least.

He told me that he had attended the training sessions on this and that he would enroll me in the program. I was heartened to learn that two other CVS customers had also recently made such a request. A couple of days later, I received an SMS that my prescription starting with the letter "S" was ready for pickup. This baffled me as SMS notifications always include the first 3 letters of a medication name, not just one. When I arrived at the store, I was told that the Spoken Rx reader had arrived and was ready for pickup. This surprised me as my pharmacist and I had already discussed the fact that I would be using my iPhone to read the prescriptions. Be that as it may, given that it would cause a bit of a pain for him to return the reader, I accepted the reader. Now, at this point both he and I are under the impression that he is to receive some kind of tags that he and his team can affix to my meds in order that either the CVS app or the dedicated reader can voice. Is this correct? He is still waiting on some feedback from his regional manager as to how to proceed. As for me, I am just wondering if an actual special tag is required in order to hear the medication info. One thing I learned from my pharmacist, and had confirmed by a pharmacist at a neighboring location, is that not everything CVS advertises is as accurate as the CVS public relations department would have you believe.

Measuring iPhone battery life in straight hours of real-world usage (as Apple likes to do) is not an accurate metric for comparison purposes as so many use and environmental factors play a part. We can, however, rely on straight technical specifications to tell us the battery capacities of each iPhone. Apple is notoriously secretive about these battery specifications, mainly because smartphones from rivals such as Samsung boast much larger battery capacities. These are measured in either Milliamp Hours (mAh) or Watt Hours (Wh). Milliamp hours are a measure of electrical charge, while a watt-hour is equal to one watt of energy consumed for one hour of time. And it is energy consumed that matters when we’re measuring actual battery life. Wh is a more accurate and consistent way to compare the total amount of energy that similar types of batteries can store. And it’s all about the battery voltage, which mAh ignores, which determines the wattage (power) of a battery. If the mAh is the same, the higher the voltage, the greater the actual stored power. Volts (V) are a measure of electric pressure. Amps (A) are a measure of current. Multiply V x A and you get Watts (W) that are a measure of power. So V × A = W. You can convert watt hours (Wh) to milliamp hours (mAh) using this formula: (Wh x 1,000) divided by V = mAh. The lithium batteries that power most portable electronics have a voltage of about 3.6V, but some external battery packs (such as Apple’s 7.62V MagSafe Battery Pack) boast a higher voltage, which means they actually carry more power than their mAh implies.

Hello Chris, This particular thermostat has a terminal for a grounding wire but I do not know if one is required. I think not. While not wanting to get off-point, I will say that I suspect that many thermostats, in order to be widely compatible, allow for a great many installation options. For example, in the setup manual, for this model, it instructs the installer to insert 2 batteries into the unit before attaching it to the bass, that should already be mounted onto the wall. However, this unit, has a terminal, on the back, for a power cable. It's not actually called a power cable but I cannot remember the actual name of the cable. if one has such a cable already built into the house, as does mine, then batteries are not necessary. I had a professional installer switch out my old thermostat for the new one. He did it in seconds and did not need to read the installation setup guide.

The physical buttons are easy-to-use and allow for complete use of the thermostat just as was my old unit. I did not configure the wireless settings until late this evening because the buttons work so well. However, I now have the device setup to work with either Alexa or Siri. And of course, one can use the Sensi app which is remarkably VoiceOver accessible. Now I will tell you that the Apple Home Kit setup was a thousand times easier than was Amazon Alexa. In fact, for the first time, I was truly disappointed with Alexa because, in my opinion, not only would a blind or low vision person be hard pressed to configure the unit without sighted assistance, but the process is unintuitive and convoluted. In addition, at the time of this writing, one cannot setup Alexa with the device until one uses the Sensi app to create an external account, etc. Ridiculous. Apple Home Kit, on the other hand, was fast, simple, and could easily be configured by a totally blind person as long as the person had the security code which is included on a sheet of paper located inside the package. The best part? One does not need to install the third-party Sensi app in order to be up and running in minutes. I have decided to use Siri to run the thermostat as doing so is intuitive and works flawlessly from all of my Apple devices including my Apple Watch. I think the Sensi people must love Apple because, if one did not want to configure Home Kit, manually, to work with the device, one only has to point iPhone camera to a QR code located in the packaging which automatically launches Home Kit and begins the configuration process. Most impressive, to say the least. While I love Alexa, this round definitely goes to Siri.

Re: Charging Your New Phone, Anyone?
I believe that the old advice you are referring to was in regard to NiCad batteries, which for the most part are no longer in use. The Lithium Ion batteries used today are much more forgiving, and as far as I know, will not be damaged by staying on a charger. Also, the chargers used today are smarter, in that they contain a chip that will stop current when the battery reaches a full charge. If you touch your Apple charging brick while it is charging, it feels very warm, but after the charge is complete it is cold. This is because it is no longer passing current to the battery. Andy - Original Message - From: "M. Taylor" To: Cc: Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2022 3:59 PM Subject: Charging Your New Phone, Anyone? Hello All, Okay, based on my research I cannot find any Apple articles that discouraged leaving an iPhone 14 on a charger, when not in use. You old-timers will recall that, once upon a time, it was recommended that one not leave a phone on a charger, when not in use, full-time. It was thought that doing so would shorten the life of the battery. I found an Apple community thread that discusses this and the conclusion is that leaving a 14 attached to a charger, when not in use, will, in no way damage or shorten the life of the battery. Question: Does anyone have any credible statements / sources to the contrary? If so, please post them as this can make a difference to the life of the battery, in the long run. Unlike in the past, I want to consider all aspects of keeping my iPhone battery healthy from the very beginning. All replies greatly appreciated.

Re: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone?
The Ecobee smart thermostat works with Alexa. Andy - Original Message - From: "Katrina Anderson" To: ; Sent: Monday, December 26, 2022 4:52 PM Subject: RE: An Alexa Compatible Thermostat, Anyone? Hi Mark, I have a Honeywell thermostat, which I access via Alexa to perform basic functions. Yes, I had to register with Honeywell and/or Total Connect Comfort (TCC), but I don't recall the process being difficult. I've had this thermostat for several years, and only recently discovered it could be accessed via Alexa. The process of connecting Alexa to the device was easy as I recall. The thermostat can be accessed via the TCC app, which is very accessible via voiceover. When I first got the thermostat years ago, before I found out about the app, JAWS had trouble accessing all features (e.g. programming the device), so I relied on sighted help. However, JAWS had no problem at all with the website when I tried a year or so ago. Rarely go to the website though as the TCC app is great for programming, etc. And, again Alexa does a great job with the basics like ID of indoor temperature, changing the temperature, etc. HTH Katrina -Original Message- From: vipho...@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of M.

Hello Everyone, Okay, I know that I have asked this question before but, now that I must buy a new thermostat for my home, within the next week or so, as my 32 year old model is starting to fail on a virtually daily basis, what Alexa compatible thermostat do you either recommend and / or are currently using? I am aware of the Nest brand models; I thought they were Google-only models but I think they also can work with Alexa, right? Does anyone have any experience with Nest / Alexa compatibility? Also, I know that Honeywell makes Alexa models but, from what I have read on the web, today, one must setup an online account with Honeywell before the device can be used with Alexa. That sounds like a lot of trouble to me; maybe. The only thing I know for certain is that I want a model that will work with Amazon Alexa, out of the box, because I do not want to use a third-party app, is I can avoid doing so. I have come to trust the Alexa app for iOS and iPad OS. Mark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone, The Next Generation" group.

Re: battery charger case
That's what i liked about the Apple smart charging cases, was that the case battery level was displayed on the Today Screen. Apple hasn't had them available for sale in quite some time. The others I have seen use a series of LEDs and you need sight to read them. Andy - Original Message - From: deidreandlou...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 17, 2022 6:00 AM Subject: battery charger case Hello I am new to battery cases. I did not find any options for a quality Apple battery case for my SE 2020 through Apple Sales, so I went for a cheap case via Amazon. I am confused about how these work even though I have been read the instructions. There is indeed a power switch on the back of the case. It is presently turned off since the phone was charged when I first put it in the case and I cannot remember if I had fully charged it beforehand. I did have the battery case plugged in for hours before the phone was installed in it. I’m assuming that the reading on the status bar of the phone is the actual charge that the phone itself has. Is there a way to know how much charge the battery case itself has? When would I power on the phone and know when to power it back off if I am supposed to charge the phone first? It says it takes 2 hours but how do I verify the battery has been charged to capacity? Instructions for the case do indeed say that as the battery wears down, I should charge the phone first, at which point after that was done, I would turn the power back on to allow the battery case to then fill up. An Amazon customer when doing a search says to charge both phone and battery case at the same time. Before reading the instructions, that is what I might have assumed would be the way to do it. I cannot tell if I am getting any extra battery usage out of the phone in the case of yet because uncharacteristically I did not use my phone a lot yesterday. Is there a reading anywhere where I can see how much charge the battery case has at any given time? Am I right that my phone is always going to read what charge the phone itself has, and the only way to track the effectiveness of gaining more battery time is if I notice that I have to charge less often for my former average usage?

Re: NFL audio
What I do with NFL Plus is to tap on the Scores tab, find the game I want to listen to and tap on it. If you want to switch feeds, tap on the Watch tab and you can select your feed there. Keep in mind that you may not hear audio at first, because for some reason the volume is set at zero, but if you raise the volume on your phone you will hear the audio.

Re: NFL audio
It seemed to me that the app acted differently after the trial period ended. I think after the trial period ends it begins to learn your preferences, because when I entered the Games tab the 49er game would be the first choice. As I said previously, I have not tried to access the other functions such as playing a past game, etc. Andy - Original Message - From: Christopher Chaltain To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2022 8:06 PM Subject: RE: NFL audio I could have sworn someone on this list asked me to try the NFL app in the free seven day trial period and post my results to this list, which I did. Instead of going through my mail box, I’ll just say that getting the NFL app to play the audio isn’t intuitive, and I posted some pretty convoluted steps to get the audio playing.

He informed me that the audio track is not included in the purchase. Wow! I am so surprised given that the audio track is included on Amazon Prime Video. Given that the show was produced at the Amazon Studios, I guess I should not be too surprised, at that. Like all of my other television series purchases from iTunes, I probably wouldn't let the lack of an audio track stop me from purchasing the show but if I can get the same episodes, at the same price, with audio description from Amazon Prime Video, then so be it.

The other possibility is that the message in question is from someone who isn't in my contacts. Any thoughts?

If you want to delete more than 1 message flick to "More" on the first one, then double tap, now find the next message to be deleted and double tap on it and it will also be selected.

Re: iphone app to check blood pressure
I got a talking unit from Amazon for $29.95. i do not recall the brand, but it is a traditional cabled unit, no connectivity with smart devices. It talks you through the entire process and speaks the BP, pulse, and tells you the category of the reading, i. e. low, normal, mild, moderate, or severe hypertension. You can store readings within the device, and even get an average over time, but there is no way to export the information. Well worth the money though. just search on Amazon for talking blood pressure monitor.

Re: iphone app to check blood pressure
The phone can't do it by itself, or even the watch. The Qardio Arm is a hardware device with a traditional BP cuff that wraps around your upper arm, and communicates with an app on your phone via Bluetooth. Andy - Original Message - From: Louise Peyton To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2022 4:43 PM Subject: iphone app to check blood pressure Hello, all: Is there an app I can use with an IPhone that would help check blood pressure. I found two talking blood pressure machines which were not as accurate as my primary care doctor’s whose monitor doesn’t speak audibly. This is quite frustrating since my blood pressure can fluctuate. The other question is would I need to purchase an Apple watch or just use some type of app strictly with the phone? Thanks in advance.

When I consider the full price, at the end of the day, you will likely pay a similar price. If you can get a discount on the full version and guarantee that that will always be the case for future versions, then by all means, do that. For those on a very fixed income, the monthly cost provides the lowest up-front payment. So it's all about options.

You can compare plans at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/buy/compare-all-microsoft-365-products?tab=1=en-us=US Note that you can buy plans at a yearly discounted rate, or for some, it may be easier to swallow the monthly subscription price. The individual subscription for just one person and machine is $69/year or $6.99/month, and the premium for multiple machines is $99/year or $9.99/month. While you can find full versions of Office at a discounted rate, you will have to keep purchasing new versions or fall behind on updates, so I really don't recommend it.

Re: Request received: make your streaming service accessible to all
I have had a similar experience with the NBA. I had some degree of success for a few years, but it was a constant battle at the beginning of each year, as it seems that all the major sports including MLB, NFL, and NBA redesign their sites and apps each year. Eventually the NBA dropped their audio only option, but at least last year the Game Day app for Pro basketball worked, at least as far as the Warriors were concerned. Good luck!

Re: questions regarding subscriptions for two weather apps, Weather Gods and The Weather Channel
Personally, I think that there is so much info available about the weather that I can't see paying for that kind of info. When I was a kid I wanted to set up a weather station in the back yard. I recall my dad saying that if you want to know the weather, look out the window. Andy - Original Message - From: vcollins5...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, March 25, 2022 10:33 AM Subject: questions regarding subscriptions for two weather apps, Weather Gods and The Weather Channel First, if memory serves, I purchased Weather Gods a few years ago and thus was grandfathered into things that are subscription based now. But I’m still a little confused when I look around in my account and look at all the various subscriptions and features. Best I can tell from looking around, we who are grandfathered into having the features for free have the Premium plan as the $2.99 monthly and the $29.99 yearly plans both appear to be grayed out for purchase. However, it looks like the extended forecast is available for us to purchase but for $1.49 monthly and no yearly plan. Does this look right to those of you who are also on this older plan? If this were an additional subscription, although I would prefer a yearly plan, I was kind of thinking of getting the subscription rather than putting money in the Tip Jar, although I guess one could do both. Second, when I look at the subscription choices for The Weather Channel in my account on the app store, I see Premium Pro Monthly for $4.99, Premium Pro Annual $19.99, Premium Pro Annual $29.99, The Weather Channel Premium one month $.99, The Weather Channel Premium one year $9.99. Does anyone know what’s actually offered with each of these subscriptions? I first used the few days trial offered over a year ago, and then I subscribed to the $29.99 version a couple of months ago. I wonder if maybe some of these options were previously offered but not anymore? Oh, I did also check the subscription info from pressing enter on my Apple ID in settings and going to subscriptions that way, and while they were shown in a slightly different order, the same options were there. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Re: Bluetooth Headset recommendation
The Aftershokz products have improved greatly since they were first released. They used to be made of a cheap plastic that would easily break. Also, there was a great deal of audio leakage. I recall sitting next to someoen on a bus and he was singing along with my music. The new Trekz line is coated with a rubbery material which is very flexible. The audio leakage problem has improved greatly. i think that music sounds good on them if you are willing to deal with the vibration against your cheeks.

Re: I find iOS 15 to be one of the least buggy upgrades in a long time, what are the more significant bugs you still experience?
I notice that it jumps so easily into Edit mode. Just exploring by touch will jump you into Edit mode, and there have been times I have almost deleted an app by accident.

That share sheet issue is a thing. Sometimes it just says activity on the item instead of telling you messages or mail or what ever. It can take a couple times to get it to show properly. Next annoying issue is the one when you have a bluetooth device connected like a speaker. It pumps voice over volume way high on the phone if that's where you have your audio set to go. That's been a bug for a while now though.

Almost as irritating to me as the bloody woodpecker noise... But, your issue with British Columbia must be the strangest pronunciation screw up yet. If you write the word British in other contexts, it says it correctly. British comedy, British food, British accent. Perhaps Apple has an issue with the number of bars in BC. Ha, ha. I assume you have reported that to Apple. But overall, iOS 15 is quite good, just new wrinkles and lots of new settings to sort out.

I am curious to hear what major bugs people are dealing with because I sometimes see statements like "iOS is a mess" and "I won't upgrade until some of the bugs have been resolved" etc. I would encourage people also mention what device they use, my current phone is an iPhone 11. Please furthermore be specific instead of saying something "I don't like the new Focus feature" since that of course is not a bug but a new feature and there will always be things maybe one would wish had stayed as it was. Also, before you mention the issue where Voiceover doesn't sometimes say the name of an app in the app switcher when you flick left, try the fix I read about and posted: go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn of Reduce Motion. If somebody knows of a good reason why Reduce Motion should be on I'd like to hear it and while I don't necessarily disagree that Voiceover should read the app names even with this turned on, turning it off is a fix/work-around for now especially if it doesn't have any other consequences. Another issue which was mentioned when Applevis released their warning prior to the iOS 15 release about the bugs they experienced or heard about is the one where the Wallet app crashes when you flick through your cards/passes. I am very curious to hear how many people have this problem. As I said above, I use an iPhone 11 and this has never happened to me and I tried it also by turning on Voiceover on my wife's iPhone 11 Pro and it also works fine. Next is the share sheet, once again no issues whatsoever for me, but apparently some people say they are having problems. Lastly, one problem I do come across is that Voiceover mispronounces certain things, here are two sample phrases which contain the name of the Canadian province where I live: The British Columbia government says it's making progress... British Columbia Buy and Sell It's almost like Voiceover is saying "The B A R British Columbia", difficult to exactly make it out and of course if you go word by word it says each word correctly. I should mention that I use the North American SIRI female voice and also have the SIRI male voice installed, I haven't installed Samantha to test this, but it was not pronounced like this in iOS 14 where I used the same voices.

Re: Free Style Libre Arrived
yes! You need to be a good self advocate and have a doctor who will cooperate. I know someone who even though he is on insulin, had to fight with Kaiser for a year before they would provide it for him. These are the consequences of socialized medicine where bean counters can overrule doctors and patients. Andy - Original Message - From: 'Nicki Keck' via VIPhone To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2021 1:21 PM Subject: Re: Free Style Libre Arrived The doctor got it for my husband before he got on insulin. He wanted to monitor it before the insulin started so we would know how the sugars were running and how much insulin to prescribe. He had to talk to the insurance person to finally get it approved. It's not easy to get it if you are not on insulin. It's possible but not easy. I think part of the reason we got it for my husband is because it was clear he was going to be going on insulin. We monitored it, went to the doctor, showed him the app, which he was absolutely fascinated with, by the way, and now he is on the insulin so we shouldn't have trouble keeping it covered. We did give them the argument of blindness and difficulty monitoring sugars with conventional meters, but even that argument didn't work right away.

Also, your doctor needs to submit a report stating that due to your blindness you’re not able to test using a meter as well due to not getting enough blood on the strips.

My wife has the freestyle, and she is not on insulin. As Robert said, you can advocate based on the fact that you are blind, and have difficulty using a system that requires you to obtain a blood sample.

Re: Free Style Libre Arrived
you don't need the reader. You should be able to scan with your phone. it uses NFC and not bluetooth, so you will need to place the phone next to the sensor on your arm. When you first install or when you change the sensor, you will have to wait an hour before you do your first scan.

The app should scan the sensor and give you what you need to know. I don’t have diabetes, so I am just going on what I read. I know some on this list use the Freestyle sensors, so I hope you get a response soon. Its great that Voice Dream Scanner did such a good job. Winston I’m sure would appreciate hearing about that. wins...@voicedream.com Richard “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner My Web site: https://www.turner42.com From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Vivian Conger Sent: Friday, September 24, 2021 2:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Free Style Libre Arrived Hi All, I received my Free Style Libre earlier this week and had an appointment with the nurse yesterday. She apologized that it didn’t talk. I told her that it does now that there is an app for the iPhone. She set up the reader and I inserted the new sensor. After I got home, I installed Libre 2 on my phone but it won’t scan the sensor as it was installed on a different device. I received an email stating that this could be done but have not figured out how to do it yet. I’ve used Seeing AI to read the screen with limited success but just tried VD Scanner and it was perfect. I still would like to be able to scan with my phone instead of the reader. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks for assistance. Vivian and Sallie -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

IOS Broke Folder Structure
After upgrading to IOS 15 i notice that my home screens were rearranged and some of my folders were broken and the apps are just scattered on the screens. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using an iPhone 8. Andy -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
