RE: iPhone 4 help for overriding spelling and app swotcher question, related to using seeing Eye app
Hi Sharon, I usually have the auto correct feature turned off because I don't like how it works, but I just turned it on and used your example just in a notes app. First time round it also put Breaker in, but then I tried again and as soon as it suggested Break I deleted a character, the k, then continued with ley and I got Brealey although Voiceover of course said it was misspelled. Give it a try, I always thought the auto correct feature was supposed to only put in the suggested word if what you hear is what you want and you then press the spacebar. In this case this does not seem to be the case because I very carefully typed Brealey and then pressed the spacebar and it put in breaker. Only way around it was to let it suggest Breaker, then to delete the ker and put ley in its place. As for the Seeing Eye app running in the background and using data that definitely is not going to be happening right now since the app does not even work unless it has focus, e.g. if you exit the app by pressing the home key or even just lock the screen, the app stops working. The latter was something Mike pointed out as a major drawback and I agree. These GPS apps use enough battery as is and even if you turn the brightness down to 0, having the screen on all the time uses even more. If I double tap and hold on an app in the app switcher until I hear Editing Apps and then proceed to remove all apps by double tapping them, Voiceover on my 4S will say App Switcher has no items after the last app is gone. If I want to completely clear my app switcher, I usually touch the very first app on the left, hold my finger on it and then split tap with another finger. If you don't move the first finger, as the first app closes, the next app slides over so to speak under that finger and you can just continue to split tap as each app moves to the left into that position under your finger.

Re: iPhone 4 help for overriding spelling and app swotcher question, related to using seeing Eye app
Hi there, Thank-you for your kindness in checking this spelling issue. How do I disable the auto spelling correction feature? Also do you know if I can check somewhere if I have somehow regarding the reality that my app switcher is no longer speaking that I have no items left in the app switcher? I must have done something but I have no idea what. I really appreciate the clarification about the Seeing Eye app. Peace and Positivity Sharon On 2013-08-01, at 11:31 PM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Sharon, I usually have the auto correct feature turned off because I don't like how it works, but I just turned it on and used your example just in a notes app. First time round it also put Breaker in, but then I tried again and as soon as it suggested Break I deleted a character, the k, then continued with ley and I got Brealey although Voiceover of course said it was misspelled.

RE: iPhone 4 help for overriding spelling and app swotcher question, related to using seeing Eye app
Hi Sharon, To disable auto correction, go here: Settings, General, Keyboard. Second item is Auto Correction. Double tap on it to turn it off. Next to it is Check Spelling. I usually leave this on, this way Voiceover will say if a word is misspelled, but it won't auto correct it. As for your app switcher, I don't think there is anything you can do to not make Voiceover say App Switcher has no items. If I remove all apps and swipe left and right it just goes back and forth between saying Dismiss App Switcher and App Switcher Has no items. Can you explain what it says for you? Do you get the Dismiss app switcher message? If so, what do you get if you do a single finger swipe right from that? If you want write to me directly since this might go into more details than what most people want to read about. My email is siegh...@live.ca.
