Hi Anna, and thanks, Calendar setup on the phone (or iPad) is pretty straightforward.
I, too, use Siri to set up an event, though I sometimes need to edit in order to add info to the appointment. Have you worked with multiple calendars? VO won't read the calendar a particular event belongs to, unless you open the event. Nor will it give you a status update when you enable/disable a calendar's visibility. You can make the update, but VO won't tell you whether you're turned the calendar on or off. I really enjoyed your iOS book, by the way. -shelly On Aug 16, 2013, at 10:31 AM, Woody Anna Dresner <wadres...@att.net> wrote: > Hi Shelly, > > I use siri to make appointments when I can because it's faster.
