I have a scale that I weigh myself on that is Wi-Fi made by Arboleaf. Their app became very difficult to use after a recent update. I decided to try Screen Recognition in their app; which has the same name, Arboleaf. It works perfectly with screen recognition, in fact, it reads much better. T

You do have to add Screen Recognition to the rotor. Open Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, Rotor, Rotor actions. Anything that says selected in their will be on the rotor, if VoiceOver doesn’t say selected, double tap and it will then say selected and show up in the rotor. I do not think y

It seems to me, that you used to be able to scroll to the end of the list of artists, albums, or songs and get a number.

Direct touch likely will do nothing helpful. Screen Recognition might work. You do not want it on all the time, so if you want to try it, add it to the rotor actions. Then you can turn the rotor to it and swipe up or down to enable it and see what happens, then toggle it off again. Richard,
