Hello all:
AM using zoom on mac, and i need to stop all Voice over notifications, like,"screen recording enabled, a person joined the room, etc"
am using zoom on my studio, and do not want the client to here this.
Any ideas?

This post is asking about the word spelled S-C-H-E-D. It is a common American English shorthand for the word schedule.

I recently noticed that S-C-H-E-D has a huge pronunciation issue on current Mac OS. It should be pronounced sked. Instead it sounds more like a multi-syllable indecipherable whisper: sched. I've verified the issue with both Alex and Alison.

Yes, I know I can set the pronunciation using VO Utility. But the pronunciation is so aberrant that I wondered if this was an indication of a larger issue. Thoughts? What's going on here?

Hi there,

I recently got a new Apple Watch (I think either Series 7 or Series 8.) My previous watch was a Series 3/4, so this was an upgrade.

I've run into a strange bug with my new watch that never happened with my older watch.

Randomly, and without notice, Voice Over will stop speaking on the watch. Haptics will still work, the watch will still say Voice Over is active (if my sighted husband looks at it for me). Looking at the Watch app on my iPhone indicates Silent mode is "off".

The only way I have found to "fix" this is to have my sighted husband reboot the Watch for me. It will then work as normal for anywhere from a couple hours to a day before it goes silent again.

I've tried going into the settings on the Watch app and toggling off the ability to "cover for silence" option, as I figured I was accidentally covering it and silencing it. This did not work.

I've also wondered if it was erringly thinking I was doing a three finger tap on the face to mute Voice Over, as I've accidentally done that on the iPhone many times. But I could not get this gesture to work either when the Watch's VO was not speaking or when it was back to working after a fresh reboot.

Anyone run into this and have any thoughts as to what it may be? Is it a known bug? I keep eagerly hoping each new Watch OS update will "fix" it but it doesn't.

It's frustrating, as my Watch is unusable by me half the time and I can't easily reboot it without sighted help in this state.

so I downloaded some voices on my mack.
I press vo shift down arrow. I get to the voice list. I silent a voice and the menu closes.
but its still using the same voice as before I did the action.
can someone pleas help.
thanks.

Does anyone know of any good audio editors with a lot of free effects that work well with voiceover? I want to get a lot of different voice effects, but I can’t find other effects or plug-ins to install into garage band or anything like that. I want to get something like different chorus effects and maybe a vocoder, as well as reverb and delay.

I have a two year old pitbull, and I’m looking for recommendations for an invisible fence, plus an accessible application to control and configure the fence. For example, say I have a 1000 square-foot yard, and I want to keep her away from things like neighboring fences, flower gardens, etc. According to what I read online there are invisible fences which can be controlled and configured with an iPhone app but I want to make sure I’m setting both my dog and myself up for success so want to know if anybody has any recommendations.

Hi friends.
Still trying to find a solution to the WhatsApp issue where phone numbers are spoken for group members who are not in your contacts.
I came up with a solution which was to add entries to voice-over's speech dictionary, replacing numbers from 0 to 9 with spaces. It ended up having unpleasant side-effects, as it also stopped speaking things like number of unread messages or message durations. Is there anything smarter to do? Like conditional entries where a number list preceded by the plus sign could be replace with a space?
Thanks for your help,
Cheers,
JPR

Hello, I am planning to develop a browser game that would be called Street War. The game is about training your gangster by improving skills and then completing missions and capturing buildings on the street to collect protection money. Players could furthermore join syndicates to compete together against others and defend dominance over the city. There could be several servers in the game, each server is a city with the street to fight on. The following points would exist in the game:

• Training camp: train gangsters (strength, defense, skillfullness and endurance).
• Street: Capture buildings or challenge other players in battle. In addition, you can buy improvements for your own buildings to make the building more resistant to other players who want to take it from you. The more buildings you have, the more protection money you collect. Money is important for other things like items or improvements for your buildings.
• Casino: In the casino you can send the gangster on a mission, which can also bring money.
• Item store: Buy new equipment for hands, head, legs, torso and feet to improve your combat skills for fighting for buildings
• Syndicate: The area where players join together. In the syndicate there is a chat for players, a locker for money and a storage for items. Also, as a syndicate you can bribe the police to get more advantages (e.g. in combat).
• Players can send messages among themselves

It would not be a classic text RPG, but a browser game controlled by a menu and buttons. Also, there are no premium options planned. The question I am asking myself now is if there is any interest in browser games at all.

Thanks a lot in advance for your answers. Manuel

Hi everyone,

With WWDC’s keynote just around the corner, I’m excited to catch up on all the latest developments from Apple. However, I’ve been having a bit of trouble watching the videos on the Apple Event page. Specifically, when I use my iPhone to watch the videos and turn on subtitles, VoiceOver doesn’t seem to be able to read the subtitles out loud to me. I’ve checked that the audio description switch is turned on, but this hasn’t helped.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or has found a solution. Ideally, I wouldn’t need to rely on subtitles to understand the English being spoken in the videos, but for now, any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

It would be great if I could get this issue resolved before WWDC starts so that I can have a smooth viewing experience. If anyone has any advice or suggestions to share, I would be grateful!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks in advance!

Curious if anyone has gotten seeing AI to work via widget from the iOS lock screen. I have a couple of series shortcuts set up, but you all know how reliable Siri is sometimes 😉! thanks for the help!

Hello.
I'm using the latest IPhone update and the latest version of facebook messenger. I was just wondering if anone else is having a problem where when you send a message on facebook mesenger it reads the whole screen and makes it hard to scroll back to the type in screen. is there a work around or did facebook break it when they updated it? I wish they'd just leave stuff alone that is working well.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently using macOS Ventura 13.4, the latest version available.

I've been trying to access detailed information about apps on the App Store using VoiceOver, but I haven't had much success. When I click on the name of an app, VoiceOver attempts to purchase it or re-download it if it's already been purchased but not downloaded.

I was wondering if any of you have encountered a similar issue or have found a way to view app information without triggering the purchase or download process. It would be really helpful for me to have access to the descriptions, ratings, and reviews before deciding to download or purchase an app.

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Best regards,
~Sadik

Hi everyone, been a while since I posted. I have a question. The files I have from my college are PDF and PPTX. And I also have the Microsoft Word app on my Mac, how do I convert my files into a word document? Using my MacBook Air?

Hello everyone, I am running the latest iOS update on an iPhone 12, and have a major problem using the Kindle app. I am wondering if there is a fix for this. I am using a Mantis Q40, and if I open the app and read, when it automatically pans to the next page, the thumb keys on the Mantis that you use to pan line by line,completely stop working. And I mean throughout the entire iPhone. I have to completely restart the phone to get them to work again. This is a major problem, ans the Kindle app is unuseable at the moment. If anyone has experienced this or knows how to fix it, or where I can report this please help! I conduct bible study weekly, and need thisi for my commentaries. Thank you, Juliette

A quick question about Apple Books and iOS 16. It is a much less user-friendly experience now. Just a minor thing, but previously whilst you were reading, you could tap in the right spot or flick through, and it would tell you how many pages were left in your chapter. it doesn’t seem to do that now. Is that correct? If you had to do something or go out, or just weren’t sure how much, you could have a look at how many pages were left and decide whether you were just going to finish this chapter or whether you had better put your book down and go and do something. because we’ve all done that: I am going to do the dishes, I’m just gonna finish this chapter.
