RE: Go Payment, I'm desperate!
Hi Seighard and thanks so much. I followed your steps and it went exactly like you said it would. But...as soon as I lauched the Go Paymend app everything went silent. Clearly this is an app issue and not a card reader issue. Looks like I'll just have to wait for the fix, but it wasn't for lack of trying. Thank you again.

Hi Kim, First of all, I seem to remember that not all headphone splitters are created equal so there may very well be some out there that would work for you, but as I said, I am not sure. I actually just saw one today in an email from NCIX.com, it's one from Monster and it's not cheap at $24.95, vut it states specifically it works for iPhones, iPads etc. and it even has independent volume controls for the 2 ports. Now, as for Bluetooth, I just tried this with my stereo bluetooth headset and the wired earpods. I have never used the Go Payments card reader, but I don't see why it should be different as it's all a matter of priority. So, here is what I just did: 1. I turned on Bluetooth. 2. I started playing an audio book in the Audible app on speaker. 3. I turned on my bluetooth headset which had already been paired with my iPhone. After a moment the audio switched from the external speaker to the bluetooth headset. This is automatic and should work like that with your bluetooth headset. 4. I then plugged in my wired earpods which should mimic you plugging in your Go Payment card reader. As expected the audio stopped on my bluetooth headset and it switched back to the wired earpods, in your case I am not sure where the audio actually goes, but plugging in the card reader into the headphone jack does stop your audio, right? 5. I now turned my bluetooth headset off by holding the on/off button until it turned off. My audio continued to play on the earpod. 6. I waited a few seconds and turned my bluetooth headset back on. I did this while the audio book was playing on the earpods and I did not unplug them. Once my bluetooth headset turned on it took a second or 2 and the audio automatically switched back to the bluetooth headset. If this works the same way with the Go Payment card reader it means that you should be able to get Voiceover back to the bluetooth headset this way. Once again to sum it up: 1. Make sure bluetooth is on and turn on your headset so Voiceover speaks on the headset. 2. Plug in your card reader 3. Turn off your headset. 4. wait a few seconds and turn your bluetooth headset back on, Voiceover should be back on bluetooth. Good luck, let me know if it worked.

RE: Go Payment, I'm desperate!
Hi Kim, Did you try to turn off your Bluetooth headset again after you launched the app and then turn it on again? It seems to me that 2 things happen: First, audio is routed to the headphone jack as soon as you plug in the Go Payment Reader which of course is normal behavior. I guess you might want to report this to Apple because I wonder if they couldn't add a setting in accessibility which would allow one to force Voiceover to go via a certain output method since there is a setting somewhere in the Settings where you can do this for phone calls. Secondly, it appears that after you plug in the card reader, turn your headset off and on again you get Voiceover, but then when you launch the app it again grabs the audio. I wonder if once again turning off and on the headset will route it back to bluetooth. The other thing you could do is try and launch the app after you plug in the reader. I mean plug in the reader, launch the app first and then turn off your bluetooth headset and turn it back on. If you have SIRI you could probably successfully launch the Go Reader app by using SIRI even if you don't have sound, just push and hold the home button for 2 seconds or so, then say Launch Go Payment. Of course you have to call it by its correct name, I don't use it so I don't know what the app is called exactly. Anyhow, give it a try and let me know.
