My iPhone 6 with the latest iOS was working properly earlier today. I locked it

when pressing the home button or the power button to unlock it. I have no

Hi Lelia,
You can use a braille display with Voice Dream Reader. The only problem is that
when you switch screens, you see a percentage of where you are in the file, and
you have to wait a couple of seconds for it to go away. So it’s annoying, but
usable.

Plug the iPhone into the charger, and the charger into the wall, or plug the
charging cable into the computer's USB port and wait for a minute or so.
Then press the home button 3 times quickly. Voice-Over should come on. You
have to go into settings, then into general settings, then into Siri

Hi Joe, if you go into Downcast settings, you can boost Downcast's volume with

Would I be correct in saying that you cannot use voice dream reader with a
