[Blindtlk] credit card readers help please

[Chris Nusbaum]

This is tricky, as there is only one audio input jack on the iPhone and VO is designed to route all audio through whatever is plugged into the jack, whether or not it actually has a speaker. My best suggestion would be to use a Braille display if you have one, or to try to connect your phone to a bluetooth speaker or pair of headphones. I'm not certain about the latter suggestion, though. Hope this helps.

So you run the ap on your phone or iPad with the credit card reader plugged into your device.   Very awesome for things like craft shows, garage sales or other similar temporary location type of sales.

However it plugs into the audio jack of my iPad.  So when I plug it in, Voice Over no longer uses the speaker. Voice Over is still running and working, I just can’t hear it because it’s sending the audio to the headphone jack, which of course is being used by the card reader.
