How To Unlock Iphone 6 With Voice Over
Bethany Pensis
When you touch the screen or drag your finger over it, VoiceOver speaks the name of the item your finger is on, including icons and text. To interact with the item, such as a button or link, or to navigate to another item, use VoiceOver gestures.
Point and Speak. If you are blind or have low vision, Point and Speak can make it easier for you to interact with physical objects that have text, like household appliances, keypads, or labelled files.4 Point and move your finger over or under different buttons or elements, and your iPhone or iPad reads the text out loud to help you perform actions or make selections. Point and Speak integrates seamlessly with VoiceOver.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote include several features that can help you create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that are accessible for both you and your audiences. Add descriptions to images, audio, or video. Or make Pages documents more scannable by adding headings that screen readers can easily identify and navigate. A layout rotor for VoiceOver helps you automatically align selected elements so that your documents look and sound exactly the way you like. VoiceOver Audio Graph support can make information in charts and graphs more accessible by representing data points with ascending or descending pitches, helping you understand rising and falling trends. Line- and word-spacing tools improve how you read and edit documents. And the text checker tool can help you discover common formatting issues such as extra spaces or mistakenly capitalized letters, which makes proofreading documents, spreadsheets, and presentations even easier.
I have found a few times this year since i got the new iphone 12 that the voice over feature has activated itself due to button presses or something. It has wasted my time on a few occasions now, the most annoying when you don't have another devise to google how to turn it off. How i know how to turn it off but i'd like it permanently removed from my phone and i suspect i'm not the only one. Can this be offered by apple as an option.
My daughters iPhone XR suddenly went black, then when she tried the volume up, volume down, right button hard restart, it showed the apple, then started talking in voice over. It will show the lock screen for a short amount of time, then go black. It will not hard restart, and iTunes does not recognize that it is plugged in. Any suggestions on what is wrong and a solution?
We had already tried that when I posted. I tried to connect the iphone to itunes, it did not recognize it. Then I was able to get it into recovery mode by pushing volume buttons combo with right button, and able to initiate the update ios, and now it is stuck on a white screen, "swipe up to update".
So, when in current view I am adding a subview which contains buttons, accessibility reads the labels behind the subview as well. I want the accessibility to read buttons on added view, and rest of the viewable part of the previous view only(and not the labels got hidden behind added view).can someone tell, if it is a bug of voiceover in iPhone, that by default, it reads parentView's labels also, on addsubview ?
I had the same problem as you, and I spent some time to solve this.When you add view B over view A, you do not hidden view A. The view continues there, and as expected by voiceOver, it will read that view/label.
On iPhone and iPad, Apple's screen recording feature records a video of what you're doing on your screen, which is great if you want to capture gameplay, walk someone through a tutorial in an app, demonstrate a bug, or anything else. You can also include a voiceover in screen recordings. Keep reading to learn how.
If you're making a screen recording to demonstrate something in iOS, chances are it would benefit from some voiceover commentary. Fortunately, Apple enables you to do this by activating your device's microphone for the duration of the recording.
Don't like the tone your iPhone uses with you? Good news, you can change it. And while I hate to over-anthropomorphize technology, there is something endearing about personalizing the voice your iPhone uses to communicate with you.
Personal Voice for the iPhone uses AI to create a replica of your voice and store it on your phone. It lets users with disabilities that affect speech use type-to-speak to communicate with others via your iPhone's speakers, FaceTime and third-party applications (which will eventually support the accessibility feature).
Before you start cloning your voice, make sure you're somewhere relatively quiet, where you'll be undisturbed for about 30 minutes. You don't need complete silence, but you'll be speaking for quite a bit, so it's a good idea to have your voice be as clear as possible without background noises so that your cloned voice sounds decent.
If you haven't already, I would try adding U.S. English as a secondary language in the Rotor (Settings> Accessibility> VoiceOver> Speech and go to the "Add New Language" button at the bottom of the screen), then setting Samantha Compact as the voice. Then, turn the Rotor to "language" and swipe up or down to select the secondary U.S. English that you just added. This worked for me, both with the voice I use (U.S. English Tom Enhanced) and when I just tested it with Samantha Compact on an iPhone 11 Pro Max.
The major issue reported and discussed is obviously that of Slow Voiceover. VO was indeed slow after updating with ava enhanced voice. Did couple of voice changes, restarted a few times, and now this appears working perfectly even with default voice. So maybe it's something that should be back on track after a few hours usage?
Firstly, I'll agree with the previous post. Some fooling around with the voice (Alex) including uninstalling it, the language rotor option and switching to a different voice has done the trick with the default voice. Secondly, there is a way to turn off the beep made when VoiceOver reports detected text and images in the Audio > Sounds settings. However, it will still report what it thinks is the detected text and images, with no way of turning it off. Of course, I'm once again talking about persons with iPhones released before September 2018. One example of where this flops is in the Contacts app. When you arrive at the "V" heading, VoiceOver will say "down arrow" for some reason. I've never used a screen reader that would provide me with extra information that was not even there and so inaccurate. I dare ask you if it's artificial intelligence or human incompetence.
Hi,
the jumping bug in HTML content
is so noticeable in the pocket app, when you open an article it will jump around crazily especially if there are multiple headings, starting with the title heading. the only work around this is that to move with touch until you find first line then read with swipe.
if there are more than one heading then you may have to use scroll as well with 3 fingers.
Arabic Vocalizer voice is a mess, throughout the beta even English dictionary received some changes but got fixed in the following updates, but Arabic they completely messed it up from numbers to everything, then left untouched.
regarding screen recognition, keep it in the router and use it only when you need it,
I found it so useful for instance in the telegram app the settings tab is completely inaccessible but using screen recognition i managed to access it.
as well as reading some images in MS teams when there are images of class timings for example.
I hope Arabic voice receive some fixes and as mentioned the speed when using voiceover there are noticeable lag in certain apps such as whatsapp.
I haven't tried the secondary voice thing yet, but it is clear to me that my iPad Pro has much much less lag than my iPhone 10S Max.
good luck.
Nickus: Yes, I noticed this position change during the public beta process. I initially thought it was a bug and voiceover just wasn't focusing on it, but I finally discovered it had moved to the center of the screen. After using it in this new position for a couple of weeks, I actually like it better in the center. Its a relatively minor thing, but yes, I agree, it does throw you off for a bit at first.

I've turned off all VO recognition for now as I don't find them useful enough yet. As others have said though, they may get better over time. I find the image recognition most useful on the web, but if you focus on an image and VO describes it, you can't flick down to get to the next rotor option till you flick right or left passed it. This doesn't hapen with image recognition off. Also, I find it really annoying in the music app with it trying to describe every album cover. Even the minimal descriptions that we got in 13 are annoying for me in the music app. There needs to be a verbosity option to turn things like that on and off on a per app basis.
Although I have an older model, with a buggy hangover of the minimal text and image recognition found in iOS 13...I digress, you can set recognition, among other new things like audio ducking, muting speech, container descriptions and others, on an app by app basis using activities.
