Hi! You could change the double tap gesture to anything that might work for you. There’s settings for changing gestures in the voiceover settings. I apparently don’t know or remember where they were but i have used them and tried them out. /A > 10 maj 2020 kl. 07:07 skrev Angus MacKinnon : > >

Angus, By the way, the split tap will not work on sliders. You can access speaking rate and several other options on the rotor. If accessing the rotor is difficult, you can change the gestures used in the Voiceover settings under Commands. I changed mine to 2 finger swipe left or right. Fr

Angus, No. Speaking rate is a different item. It is a slider and it is changed by flicking up/down with a single finger to change the value. Dave Carlson Pioneer, Farfar, Oregonian, Woodworker, Engineer, and Musician -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionar

Angus, Sorry to hear of your frustration. But interestingly enough, you do not need to be positioned on the item for the tapping. Once you have focused on the item and it speaks, a double tap anywhere on the screen is sufficient to launch. Use the swipe gesture to land on the item, then double t

In theory, you double tap on the picker, then you flick up or down, or I have even occasionally seen them from left to right, to pick the item you want. The problem which has become more so with iOS 13 is that sometimes when you double tap on the picker, the list doesn’t pop up. I have no idea w

Is there any way to get VO not to say "Selected" before every picker item? It's beyond annoying. This only seems to happen in IOS 7.1.1. It can say "Selected" after the item but if you need to say, set a time, getting the minutes correct can be tedium. Jenine Stanley dragonwalke...@gmail.com
