Re: Screen recognition and editing rotor

[Alan Lemly]

Just to echo Richard's point, screen recognition should definitely be in your rotor because apps are being updated continuously and in my experience, developers are using more graphical objects in their apps. If you're noticing an app that used to work and now VoiceOver doesn't seem to be speaking much of anything, try using the rotor to turn on screen recognition for that app to see if you get different results. I seldom leave it turned on for an app when doing this but I expect you'll develop a routine that works best for you.  Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone On Jun 16, 2024, at 10:14 AM, Richard Turner <richardr_tur...@comcast.net> wrote:  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.  The information it gathers like your BMI reads on one line now instead of having to flick to the next line, etc.   In many cases, turning it on makes an app next to useless, but when it works, it works great. This is why one should put it in their rotor and try it on apps that are not reading well but leave it off for most apps.   HTH,     Richard, USA "It's no great honor to be blind, but it's more than a nuisance and less than a disaster.

Swiping up or down with 1 finger should toggle it on or off. If you don’t use it at all, then maybe taking it from your rotor suggestions would help.   Jenn Jennie Facer On Jun 15, 2024, at 9:17 AM, Dave Lehnis <dlehn...@gmail.com> wrote:   Sometimes I think I’m going crazy, but for some reason, I cannot find how to turn off screen recognition and I can’t find the rotor to edit it. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I know screen recognition has addressed here before, but I am not remembering exactly what was said. Thanks for any assistance.
