That does sound like a sensible plan for the man.

Interesting.  I will review the auto answer with him.  Maybe if it is a 30 or 
60 second delay, it might work for him.  Another good option.

I just checked the Auto answer settings. You can set it to auto answer between 
3 and 60 seconds. 

The setting is under settings, accessibility, touch.

        What is really stopping him having voiceover on?

         

        Just doesn’t want it or it will cause confusion for him?

        He does not really have enough vision for Zoom.  Part of the issue is 
that he responds slowly and when he hears the phone, then finds it, then makes 
any gestors to answer the call, it goes to voice mail.

         

        I did have another thought.  After he misses his call, he can ask SIRI 
to call back.  Assuming that it is someone he knows or someone in his contact 
list, Siri will perform a call back.

         

        Not the greatest option, but maybe a doable solution.

        Have you considered voice control? Since  your client has some sight it 
could be useful. Sadly, it does not work with VoiceOver as well as I, and 
others I presoom, would like. But for low vision users, their is also Zoom 
which from what people tell me, works quite well. I am totally blind, so cannot 
vouch for how well or not, Zoom works.

                There is no speak command to answer the phone.

                There is an auto answer setting you can enable but that means 
it's going to answer whether he's by the phone or not.

                Not my first choice.

                Otherwise I think voiceover gesture is the only way unless he 
can learn where to touch his finger and slide to answer without voiceover.

                Sadly, Siri will not read emails.

                I suppose you could try turning on speak screen, but he would 
have to be able to open the email first, and that does not sound possible. So  
I would write Apple accessibility as well as call them and ask about getting 
Siri to read emails. This is the one feature that it should've had from the 
start and is stupid in my opinion that it does not.

                        Hi Group,

                         

                        I am working with an individual that is very low vision 
and is also suffering from a mild case of dementia and he gets overwhelmed 
easily.  He is using an iPhone 8 and I am very reluctant to turn on voice over. 
 I think it will be too difficult for him to remember the voiceover commands.

                         

                        There are two immediate  things that I want to 
accomplish with him using the Hey Siri command or any other speaking options if 
available.

                         

                        First is there an easy way to answer a incoming phone 
call without being able to see the screen.  Second, we were able to 
successfully send an email message using the Hey Siri command.  Is there a way 
to have Siri read and email message aloud.  Every  time I ask Siri to read my 
email messages, it only tells me the name of the sender and the subject line 
and does not read the actual email message.

                         

                        Any help is much appreciated.
