Hello, I totally agree here. It would have been easy, and truth be told, probably more profitable, if they decided to put out a weak screen reader, something like Windows Narrator for example, you know, just enough to satisfy the letter of the law and move on to other things. Instead, they

Hi, I would never recommend using a voice dial app as good as Siri is, to dial 911.. I think you are inviting trouble. Its hard enough talking calm so a person can understand you let alone poor Siri. Like another suggested, you can put 911 as a favorite in your phone app. I think this

Hi, I can dial 911 1 handed on an iPhone. Actually, most of the time while navigating, I'm only using 1 hand. That being said, there is no question in my mind that you can dial 911 faster on a phone with a physical number pad than a smart phone that doesn't have one. Just do to the fact you

2012-06-24 Thread Phil Halton
You don't need SIRI to voice dial 911. you can just press and hold the home button until the phone vibrates and dings, then say dial (or call) 9 1 1. That's it. Voiceover will say dialing 9 1 1 (assuming it heard you correctly) and proceed to make the call. -- You received this message

Hi, If possible I'd suggest that you take it to someone (Doesn't have to be Apple) who can take it apart and hopefully get it out. Depending on your phone, its possible to purchase the jack and microphone? as one unit which connects to the board on the phone. Having said this, if I *had* to get

This is one of the reasons why I choose to carry and use both an iPhone and a Nokia N82. A friend of mine calls this the 2 line solution and it works quite well for me. The iPhone and all the apps and features are great but the phone part of it, in my personal opinion, is not so great. I prefer to

Yes, Apple's accessibility story is quite remarkable. They went from absolutely deplorable to being (what I think can be justified) the leader in producing accessible mainstream technology. My recollection is similar. In fact, I would add that at one point Jobs got rid of Apple's entire
