  • ill give those tips a try, thank you!!

    I’ve had a lifetime of being on the shit end of the stick when it comes to “why can’t the person who needs X get it”, it really sucks. like “just buy an iphone” is what I was told asking around elsewhere and like… my guy, an iphone is basically a month of my income (before spending a cent on rent, bills, food…)

    I just hope that bad things happen to the people who uphold the oppressive systems that keep me down. thats all :)


  • the big issue is only being able to swipe left/right in the middle of the screen, I can’t scroll through pages of quick settings, the share dialog, or really anything that doesn’t appear in the middle. same issue with scrolling up and down, too, I have my font size bumped up a bit, so the “start screen recording” button needs to be scrolled down to, but you only scroll the button itself which voice access won’t do. theres some other examples but you get the idea.

    occasionally if I say a command, it does it twice. I’ve had it happen on “tap X”, on saying numbers like in “show grid”, and sometimes (especially confusing) things like “send” sending a message and then typing the word send.

    i also get lots of strange site specific bugs, like on mastodon I have to say my post in a single take, because saying a second sentence will clear what it already wrote. theres been way too many site specific bugs to list, but I run into them often.

    also it understands me very poorly, I’m a native english speaker with an australian accent for context, and it really struggles with understanding me. short commands like “four” to tap label 4 are especially rough, but it takes me a few tries even with longer commands. theres not enough of a pattern to say its definitely an accent thing though. (talon does make some mistakes that are accent based, so its likely a factor. but it also makes way less mistakes than voice access with the same mic, so… shrug)
