Voiceover choppy

2024-03-04 Thread James Lockwood
I have two iPhone 15 pro maxs. Also have the most up to date iOS. Voice over 
voice seems choppy at times. I use Samantha enhanced. I have tried fixing it 
with deleting the enhanced downloaded voice and redownloading it. But it still 
is choppy at times randomly. Anyone else experience this as well?

Apple Pencil question

2024-02-12 Thread James Lockwood
I am completely blind. I have a new iPad mini6. I have been thinking about 
getting the apple pencil but am not sure if there is any point to doing so 
since I am blind. The idea would be for me to be able to quickly take down a 
note such as jotting down a phone number, assuming that the iPad can turn 
handwriting into printed text. So, does anyone have any answers as to whether I 
should get one? Does the apple pencil work with voice over? Will the iPad 
reliably convert handwriting into printed text as advertised? Thanks in advance.

Voiceover and editing a widget in a stack on iOS 14

2020-09-23 Thread James Lockwood
When you add a widget to the home screen such as shortcuts, you have several 
options. Before adding to widget you have options of the size of the widget you 
would like to add. After the widget appears on your screen you can flick up and 
hit edit and determine what folder you want the widget 2.2 in the shortcut app. 
This is just an example of how you can edit a widget. Can you edit any of the 
settings when the widget has been added to a stack? I see how you can rearrange 
widgets in the stack but there doesn’t appear to be any way to edit each widget 
once added to a stack. Is that correct?

list of my problems with voiceover and iOS 14

2020-09-23 Thread James Lockwood
good afternoon. This is a long message but I urge you to read it all if you use 
voiceover. I have attempted to make a comprehensive list of all the errors I 
have noticed that far. Please comment and let me know if you can repeat any or 
all of these errors and if so, which ones. Also let me know how to contact 
Apple voiceover support to report these problems.   I am having several 
problems with voiceover and iOS 14. I have tried to make a comprehensive list 
because these problems just started today or yesterday. I bought my iPhone 11 
promax on September 8. I updated four or five days ago whenever the update was 
available. For some reason either I didn’t notice, or the problems were not 
occurring for the first few days. Can anyone else reproduce any or all of these 
issues?

Reaching down to the right corner to hit the dictate button sometimes just 
holding my finger on the screen makes the iPhone click endlessly as if I am 
scrolling through thousands of pages
This endless clicking when you hold your finger down on the screen also occurs 
randomly and other apps when you simply put a finger on the screen and don’t 
move it. It sounds like you’re moving it as fast as humanly possible clicking 
thousands of times but going nowhere


The other day My iPhone completely became unresponsive in part. I could flip 
back-and-forth open up folders but could not open any app. double clicking did 
nothing. Siri would not do anything.  Asking her to do anything at all resulted 
in her stating the obvious, there’s a problem. Holding down the power button 
and volume did not bring up slide slide to shut down I had to do a hard reset. 
For iPhones that do not have a home button, the way you do this is quickly 
pressing volume up, volume down, then holding the side power button until your 
phone shows the Apple logo

Opening up the mail app focus get stuck on the search box in the search button 
continuously flicking right does not change the focus to the list of folders or 
list of male messages. The same thing happens when opening up the message 
application. Focus get stuck on the search box. The only way to get out of this 
is to tap somewhere else on the screen there by manually changing the focus to 
the list of text messages or list of emails or whatever

Opening up settings accessibility voiceover audio and haptics none of the 
customizations for different functions, that is determining for each type of 
activity whether you want vibrate and or sound to occur, none of those 
customizations have any effect. Sound and vibrations are always played

Occasionally when I go to the app switcher, the app switcher opens but the 
phone continues to read the home screen as if the app switcher never came up


 when the focus is on the enter button on the keyboard it used to be that 
flicking right once took you to the dictate button. Now, it sometimes clicks 
twice as if it is skipping and does not always read the full word, dictate. It 
interrupts itself like it struggling

If you try to merge a call to do a three-way conversation, hitting add call 
takes you to the contact list so you can decide who else to add to the 
conversation. However voiceover jumps around like a jack rabbit and will not 
get off the first name in the alphabetical list of whatever group you were 
looking at. No matter where are you touching the screen it’s stuttering and 
only reads a portion of the first persons alphabetical name


When reading the content of a widget displayed on the home screen, flicking upp 
down does not always bring up the options of next widget previous widget or 
edit like it supposed to.

I was just about ready to send this email, put my finger on the send button 
flipped right in order to read the address carbon copy box in subject box, and 
instead voiceover took me to the keyboard options for attach pictures etc.  I 
just tried it again and the air did not occur. It’s very hit and miss on that 
one.

The problem mentioned above with the dictate button has already been explained. 
But I just remembered that because of this error, I deleted my emoji keyboard. 
Before the error was occurring but instead of stuttering over the word dictate, 
it would say :-) :-) :-) even though I was on the letter keyboard   so to be 
clear, I would have my finger on the enter key, decide I wanted to dictate some 
text, flipp to The right, and instead of the word dictate, it would say :-) :-) 
: 

Those are what I have noticed so far. There are likely more such as focus not 
being able to be switched off of the search box in the settings app and less 
you manually do it by putting your finger somewhere else on the screen. It 
seems the more I use the phone the more errors occur. Maybe I just didn’t 
notice these errors for the first few days because I  was just blown away by 
the uniqueness of the iOS and fancy new phone, I upgraded from a iPhone 6s so 
it was a big difference, but I don’t think so.

slightly differently. for example, if you wish to reply to an email, previously 
tapping on reply would bring up the usual message asking if you wish to reply 
or forward. before updating vioce over would have the focus on the window that 
popped up. now? no. the focus remains on the original reply button at the 
bottom. it also allows you to hit it again and again and again which brings up 
window after window after window asking if you wish to reply or forward. now 
you have to move your finger to focus voice over onto the popped up window 
after hitting that lower reply button. anyone else having this problem? hope 
you can understand and or produce this on your phone for those who have updated

iphone app to track twitter followers

2014-01-23 Thread James Lockwood
Does anyone know of a good iphone app which allows you to track followers and 
unfollowers on twitter? To track how many people have followed you and 
unfollowed you? I used "followers" an application for the iphone up until it 
started asking me to upgrade to a pay version. when you do it asks you to 
upgrade again. So im deleting it. 

it needs to be accessable as always. thanks 

Jim

voice over letter by letter

2013-09-26 Thread James Lockwood
alright. in IOS6 voice over would identify letters differently then IOS7 is 
currently doing so for me. Here is what i mean. If you are swiping through a 
word letter by letter, voice over used to read the letter and then say a word 
which begins with that letter in case you had a hard time hearing what letter 
had been said. so swiping through the word wall w a l l, voice over would first 
say the letter w if you swiped right one letter. then after a second it would 
say a word starting with the letter w such as white. 

doing the process again, voice over would then say A. then after a minute it 
would say a word begining with A such as apple. i have noticed that with IOS7 
voice over does not do this. anyone can reproduce this? it makes it hard for 
people who have a little hearing damage determine the difference between 
letters which sound the same such as B C D V E. if this has been a feature 
removed from the IOS it is yet another example of how apple seems to like to 
change things which work great, simply for the purpose of changing them. I 
cannot understand why a function like this would be removed from the IOS. I am 
quite pissed that so many things have been changed in IOS7 and it sure would be 
nice if apple was more user friendly and allowed users to roll their phones 
back.

More on iOS seven

2013-09-21 Thread James Lockwood
Earlier I posted that you could revert back to iOS 6. Unfortunately Apple has 
blocked that ability now. You were able to revert when iOS seven beta was out. 
But with the public release of iOS 7 you can't. Apple operating system is still 
the most accessible application on the market. But there are definite bugs in 
it compared to iOS 6. Why Apple doesn't put voice over features through a more 
rigorous testing process I don't know. But here are a compilation of the 
problems I have experienced thus far.



Many have discussed the jerkiness of voiceover. IT will have experienced this. 
I have an iPhone five and iOS seven. To be more specific it occurs when typing 
in Twitter or typing messages. I will be typing a message and flick up or down 
one time to go past a word. Sometimes voice over will then we verse my motion. 
Instead of being at the end of the word as I intended suddenly I am at the 
beginning of the word. I'm a fairly educated individual having a doctorate 
degree. So it is not due to me accidentally touching the screen or anything on 
my part. It is a flaw in the software at least on my phone. Another example of 
a voice over error occurs in the Twitter application Twitterrific. Sometimes it 
will read a tweet again and again and again until I swipe left or right to move 
up or down the list of tweets. This I could be a problem with the Twitter 
application itself. However I have the most up-to-date version

Most annoying problem I experience is regarding voice over when I am playing 
music or audio and the phone is locked. It occurs when I play audiobooks or 
music. Voice over will suddenly say screen locked. It will occur randomly and 
continuously. It usually occurs every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Is a software glitch 
for sure. Sometimes I am able to prevent it from having this error if after 
locking the phone I disabled then reenable voice over.

Other then a new look which doesn't appeal to me considering I'm blind and 
iTunes radio which I myself don't use there aren't many new features that I 
personally use. But as I said it is the most stable application on the market. 
I'm surprised that Google doesn't make their software accessible It is quite a 
shame considering they are designing driverless cars.

I am considering purchasing an iPhone 5 S and if I do I will update the list as 
to whether I experience any of these same difficulties.

If interested here's how to go back to iOS six

2013-09-21 Thread James Lockwood
I have not done this yet myself. But this is how you go back to iOS 6 if you 
don't like iOS 7. Download iOS 6 from this link. 
http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS6.1/091-3423.20130502.Tr3Lz/iPhone5,2_6.1.4_10B350_Restore.ipsw

Plugging your iPhone to iTunes. Hold down the shift key and click on restore. 
Select the file you downloaded and restore your phone. This will erase your 
phone and put iOS 6 back on your device.

To anyone who has the iPhone 5S

2013-09-21 Thread James Lockwood
I am having a problem with iOS seven on my iPhone five. When I am playing 
audiobooks or music and have the phone locked voice over will occasionally say 
screen locked. It will say it for no reason at all. This is clearly a glitch on 
iOS seven. I was wondering if it occurs on the iPhone 5 S?

Also is voice over unstable on the iPhone 5 S as it appears to be on the iPhone 
5 with iOS 7? Would like to know if these errors occur on the iPhone 5 S before 
I think about purchasing one.

Dont recommend updating to IOS 7

2013-09-19 Thread James Lockwood
personally, i do not recommend updating to IOS7. i did on my iphone 5 and here 
is what i dislike about it. i know some may disagree and that is fine. 
sometimes people attack you when you dare criticize the GREAT APPLE! 

problems i have in IOS7
1. slower. i have noticed on my iphone 5 voice over seems to run slower. it 
seems to be more sluggish on speech and flicking through applications. the 
phone also takes a half or more of a second to lock when i click the lock 
button. 

2. voice over sounds are different. on the ipad voice over, voice over would 
always make a sound when you flick from different frames or areas on the page. 
for example, if you are on an ipad and in the messages application, try 
flicking from the message display area down into the text message box where you 
type new messages. you do this by flicking right. on the ipad voice over always 
made a unique noice indicating that you have gone into a new area of the 
screen. the iphone voice over never did this. well, on the new IOS 7 it now 
does. this annoying

3. the side switch no longer silences flicking sounds. on IOS 6 the switch 
above the volume buttons would silence the clicks made on voice over when one 
flicks left or right. on the new IOS7 this switch has no effect on the special 
clicks and noises associated with voice over. 

4. voice over looses focus. i have noticed, and perhaps it is just me, that 
voice over sometimes looses focus on where you were last on the screen. it is 
difficult to explain and perhaps i am the only one who has this problem. but, 
sometimes when i am flicking right down a page, voice over appears to jump back 
to the top or loose focus in some other manner. voice over was always 
completely stable in IOS6 and i never had this problem. nor did i ever have 
voice over read previously read aloud text at the wrong time when such text was 
not being selected and should not have been read. again, difficult to explain. 
but, i do not believe voice over is as stable as it used to be 

5. finally, i dont see any real feature enhancements. without any real 
enhancements i wouldnt update. just my recommendation

I got old version of Twitterrific to work

2013-06-13 Thread James Lockwood
I do not like the new version of Twitterrific which is version five. It sucks. 
Voice over has a glitch in it where it repeats some of the most recent tweets 
multiple times. I got the old version to work. Go into the App Store under 
updates and purchases select applications not installed on this device and look 
for Twitterrific version 4.5. Version 4.5 works it is the update of version 4.4 
which stopped working on me several days ago.

twitterrific no longer works

2013-06-12 Thread James Lockwood
I have an update on the earlier post i made indicating that the app 
twitterrific is no longer working. after being unable to get the app to work 
last night, i uninstalled it from my iphone thinking i could just download the 
same version from the App Store. However, the version of twitterrific i see in 
the App Store is version 5. it did not show up on my list of updates probibly 
because unlike the first version, this version costs money. I dont believe the 
first version cost anything anyways. i went ahead and purchased the $3.00 
twitterrific version 5 application and it is accessable. having said that 
however, i dont like it. it is arranged differently. also, voice over has a 
tendency to mistakingly say the author of a tweet three times in a row before 
reading a tweet. it does not happen all the time; only every now and then. for 
example sometimes instead of reading the authors name and then the content of 
the tweet it will say "new york times New York Times New York Times" then 
whatever the times tweeted. 

i emailed the designer of the app when i learned it was not working. i never 
recieved any feedback. then after finding out about this new costlier version, 
i emailed again. however, unlike the first time, my email did not go through. 
dont know whats thats all about. anyways, new version has glitches with voice 
over although only minor ones. wish the older version still worked because it 
was easier to use i think. if anyone is able to get the old version to work let 
me know. i have a backup of the older version on my computer and might 
uninstall the latest version and attempt to see if reinstalling the older 
version makes it work once again. however, apparently i am not the only one who 
is finding that it is no longer working.

on that issue, why might it be working? a developer could not have done 
something on their end to provent the older version from working. either 
twitter had a change in its settings that the developer took advantage of in 
releasing a new version which costs money, or the app was designed to stop 
working at a certain period of time. never seen an iphone application stop 
working without some update having been made and screwing it up. but, if no 
change in the IOS took place and no update in the app took place, i dont see 
how it would just stop working in this manner.

taking photos when blind

2013-05-31 Thread James Lockwood
Ok. does anyone know of an application for the iphone that gives feedback about 
when an item you are taking a picture of is centered ect? the camera sometimes 
does it with faces already. but is there any program out there which helps 
people who are completely blind take good or reasonably good photos without the 
object being half off the screen or off center drastically?

Apple iPhone versus android software

How to safeguard against on accessible updated application

2013-05-19 Thread James Lockwood
Hello
I am completely blind and have been using an iPhone for several years now. One 
of the problems us blind users clearly face is some apps become inaccessible in 
updated versions. Since Apple does not provide any way to reverse an update if 
we don't have a backup of the application we are screwed. What I do to avoid 
this problem as much as possible is sync my iPhone with my computer at least 
once a month. Before and after I do I copy everything in the mobile application 
folder into another folder. Therefore even if applications have been updated on 
the phone and iTunes Deletes them from the default mobile application folder I 
always have a running back up of older versions of applications. If an 
application becomes inaccessible I delete it from the phone. I then go to the 
computer delete the latest version from iTunes as well. I Then go to file open 
in iTunes and look for a previous version in my backup of my applications. Once 
added to iTunes from my backup I sync it with my phone. 

So if you want to maintain a backup of all previous versions of app so you will 
avoid the problem of them being inaccessible in later versions be sure to make 
a copy now of everything in your mobile application folder and do so  after 
every sync with the phone I would also turn off the option in iTunes to 
download purchased applications on the iPhone. You don't want iTunes 
automatically downloading applications you purchase on your iPhone because 
older versions are deleted from the default mobile application folder. They 
might be deleted before you have the opportunity to back them up. Also consider 
keeping a running back up of mobile applications on your computer will take up 
a great deal of space depending on how many applications you have. But if you 
have multiple hard drives as I do it not a big deal
Feel free to ask any questions and good luck. Hopefully Apple will require that 
app designers make your applications accessible with all the features of the 
iPhone as much as possible sometime in the future

Calendar selection error has spread to the phone application in 6.01

2012-11-02 Thread James Lockwood
In operating system 6.0 there is an error in the calendar in which voice over 
will not indicate which calendar is selected. After updating to 6.01 I find 
that sometimes groups of contacts will not indicate they are selected in the 
phone app. I recommend not updating to 6.01 until Apple fixes this issue. I 
want to emphasize that 6.01 has not fixed the calendar selection error and it 
has spread at least on my phone to the phone application. Has anyone else had a 
similar experience?

An idea about the calendar and weather

2012-10-26 Thread James Lockwood
They should be an option to allow you to integrate each day weather in the 
calendar so you can schedule a band and see when it is going to be sunny or 
rainy or cold et cetera. That should be an option in the next version of the 
operating system

Remote access with iPhone

2012-10-04 Thread James Lockwood
I have a PC with Windows 7 in my office and want to be able to control it with 
my iPhone in my living room through Wi-Fi. I know there are applications that 
allow you to control the playing of music and other specific application. 
However I want to be able to control the computer and see the desktop and if I 
was using remote access through Windows itself. I have window eyes on my 
Windows 7 computer. Is there any program that allows you to experience the same 
experience on the iPhone that you would using remote access through Windows 
itself. If I login through an application on my iPhone it must be able to have 
audio read by window wife transferred to my phone because I'm blind and cannot 
see the desktop screen

Problem with iPhone five for iOS six calendars invoice over

2012-10-01 Thread James Lockwood
I am not sure if this is an error on iOS six or the iPhone five itself. However 
when in the calendar application voice over does not read which calendars are 
selected. The only way a person knows one of his calendars is selected to be 
displayed is if the events in that calendar are displayed. For example take a 
look at the phone application. If you have groups of contacts in the phone 
application voice over reads the name of each group and then the word  selected 
after it to indicate which groups of contacts will be displayed. Voiceover does 
not read the word selected after a calendar name to show you which calendars of 
events will be displayed. Hope that makes sense.

Disappointed in do not disturb functionality of iPhone five

2012-09-30 Thread James Lockwood
When I first heard about the scheduling function in do not disturb on the 
iPhone five I thought that it would allow you to schedule the phone to ignore 
calls at certain .periods during a certain day. However the application only 
allowed you to establish quiet hours during which calls will be ignored every 
single day. However the do not disturb function would be a lot more useful if 
it allowed you to set different times for different days. For example if I know 
I have a court appearance tomorrow at 2 o'clock it would be very useful for the 
phone to have a function in which I can schedule the program to block calls 
during that time. Then the following day if I have a meeting at 1 o'clock I can 
set the phone to ignore calls for that time as well. It could be a checkmark 
option when scheduling an event in the calendar. Therefore you would never have 
to worry about your phone accidentally being left on and going off in an 
important meeting. When you schedule the meeting you would have already told 
your phone to ignore calls for that time.
I don't know if anyone can develop an application which would do this so we 
don't have to wait for the iPhone six for this functionality. However if 
someone does develop such an application I would be willing to pay quite a bit 
for it.

request for a timer app

2012-07-25 Thread James Lockwood
ok. i am producing this radio show podcasts. i want it to last around 15:30 
minutes. but i am finding that i run over the time as i am speeking into my 
microphone. i need an app that allows you to time yourself and read the time 
out loud. talking timer is not good enough i have used it. it only allows you 
to have each minute or every five minutes read aloud. i need to be able to 
predetermine the time the program anounces the remaining time. for instance for 
a 15:30 minute show i would like it to read fifteen minute remaining at 15:00 
thirty seconds into the show. by this time my intro should be over. from then 
on i want the program to read out the time every 3 and a half minutes. so it 
will again anounce the time remaining at 11:30 and again at 8 minutes and again 
at 430 and again at 1 minute remaining. there might not be an app for this and 
if not i will have to create a sound file consisting of silence and me reading 
off the time myself. but if there is a timer app which allows you to 
predetermine the intervols in which the time is read aloud and that intervols 
can be variable in that it does not always need to be the same throughout the 
period of time being measured, if that makes any sence, then let me know of the 
apps name. any programers out there i would be willing to pay quite a bit of 
money for such an app. oh, and my podcasts will soon be on itunes and it will 
be called the lockwood report or jim lockwood show. soon there will be a 
website at my address of jimlockwoodshow.com and the show deals with politics 
from a conservative viewpoint.

have a great day and thanks for reading, if you get this far

jim

Is there such a time announce at

2012-07-18 Thread James Lockwood
I'm going to be giving a speech. I need an app that will read off time interval 
which I determine ahead of time. For example I would like to set the time for 
15 minutes and then instruct the app to read out how much time is remaining as 
frequently as I need. So the app might say 12 minutes remaining and then 10 
minutes remaining and then eight minutes remaining and so forth. It would be 
too distracting for the app to read out every minute. I don't know if there is 
such an app but if so please let me know what it is. Finally preferably if I 
were to have the app read out in two minute interval the app should be able to 
read out in one minute interval or even 30 seconds when I have one minute 
remaining. Hope that all makes sense.

Anyone want to make some money? Develop this application

2012-04-24 Thread James Lockwood
If someone is looking for a good idea for an application to design they should 
design an iPhone and iPad application that contains the Ohio administrative 
code. For anyone who is a lawyer or involved in legal issues there is a 
difference between Ohio statutes and a state administrative code. Currently 
there is no application containing the Ohio administrative code or the minute 
bit of code of most states. often times and administrative code depending on 
what the field of law you are in  is more important than a state statute. Just 
an idea if anyone is interested in what kind of application to design. Remember 
the application is only valuable if it is continually updated with amendments 
and changes to the state administrative code.

Calendar error with all day event

2012-04-24 Thread James Lockwood
Ever sense I updated to 5.10 my calendar crashes when I attempt to select all 
day event when indicating the start and end time for a calendar entry I have an 
iPhone for S and we storing the phone through the settings menu or through 
iTunes does not fix the problem. I am wondering if anyone has also experienced 
this problem and if they were able to fix it how? As I said restoring the phone 
by plugging into iTunes and having the software we downloaded did not fix the 
problem



I called Apple and they were dumbfounded indicating that of course they've 
never heard of this problem. Thanks for any help in advance that anyone is able 
to offer. James H. Lockwood
