Mario, let us know what yall finally work out for a solution. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of mmmat Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2020 9:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Answering iPhone
Yeah. You can not use Siri to answer the call, but you can use it to call back. I like it. It is simple and a workable solution. Thanks to the group for all your ideas, it gave me some other options and helped me to think through the process better.

I don’t know how many times that I have tried to call a sighted person and was in the process of leaving them a voice mail when they called me back. It is not just a blind thing being to slow to answer a call.

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.

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 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.

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.
