Hi Todd, No, as far as I know there is no vibration or an option to enable vibration to indicate this. You could write to accessibil...@apple.com and suggest that they look at including this. If you don't mind me asking, but can you hear nothing at all? I am asking because as you probably know the iPhone does integrate nicely with some of the hearing aid brands out there or maybe some deafblind people who have some hearing might be able to use a headset at a loud volume to still hear Voiceover. Using a wired headset such as the Apple Earpods also serves as a convenient way to take the picture without jiggling the phone since the volume up button on the headset remote will take the photo or, if you have video enabled, the Play/Pause button on the headset will start/stop video recording.

If a deafblind needs to pose a picture of someone or an object, how can he know the camera is properly focused despite the VO? I remind y'all not all deafblind can hear speech! Therefore, is there a way those deafblind to know the focus is performed? Vibration? I am sure some deafblind folks will come in front of y'all and say something! Thank you.

Voiceover also announce how many faces that the camera has detected. >Here is what I have found that helps me take pretty good pictures. >1 line up your body so that you are directly in front of the object or person. >2. Stand about 6 feet away from the object or person. >4. I have found that if the top edge of the phone is level with the top of my forehead, I usually get the person from head to toes. Of course, this depends on how tall the person is. A tall person, you might just get from head to knees, unless you step away a few more steps. >5. Being toddlers and young children are short, it is best when taking pictures of little ones to kneel down about 6 feet away from them when taking pictures. This way the child isn't having to look up at you, thus this makes the person look more naturally posed. >Click away and have a sighted person to give you pointers on how to perfect your picture taking. >Donna >> Hi I have the iPhone 5. >> And how do you get it to tell you when taking A picture that you are in focus or not for A good picture? >> If you are totally blind. >> Also if you would like to take A picture of someone how can you make sure you get A good shot of there face like A sighted person would? >> -- >> Casey >> -- >> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
