Try using your EarPods while inserting the passcode: if that works, it could be you have turned on voice control by accident and turning that feature off in accessibility settings would sort that out. Regards Harry > On 22 Apr 2020, at 11:55, Amy Johnson wrote: > > Hi all, > This morning I t

Using Magic Mouse with voiceover on new iPad Pro

Using mouse with VoiceOver on the new iPad Pro is brilliant! It has a few problems: when in a list of tweets in Twitterrific, I love the way the voiceover can be set to follow the mouse pointer and read out the tweet under the mouse pointer. The downside is that when I want to move the mouse poi

Re: Voice Control, Dictation and Voiceover

If you say “command mode”, you can go to the text edit field and, when the keyboard comes up, you can say either “2 finger double tap” or “tap dictate”. You then hear the sound to indicate that the microphone is listening - but, as you dictate, VoiceOver does not read out what is being dictated.

When using voice control to write text, either use headphones as you describe or say “Command mode” and then, when you are in a text edit field and the keyboard has appeared, say “Tap dictate” and say what you want to dictate: in my experience, VoiceOver does not read out the text, so there is n
