[nabs-l] IOS 10

[Sami Osborne]

  Hi all,

I noticed that in the new features of IOS 10, there is a new 
Voicemail transcription option (which is currently in beta to my 
understanding).  I just received a couple of voicemails, and 
haven't sceen any options to get to the transcription option.  
The only options I see areplay/pause voicemail, voicemail 
position, share, audio,
delete, and edit, which for some reason is dimmed and can't press 
on it.  Does anyone know how to get to the place where the 
voicemail could be transcribed for you?  How good is this feature 
so far?
Another thing  that I noticed with Siri: I usually use Siri to 
pace phone calls by just telling her the number of the person I 
want to call or, if that person is in my contacts list, tell her 
to call the name of that person.  Well, just today I tried to 
call someone, and for some reason Siri thought that I was calling 
an incomplete number.  I counted exactly four attempts of me 
trying to call with the same results, until finally I discovered 
that, in this new version, (at least for me) you need to tell 
Siri the numbers very clearly.  This is strange, because I didn't 
need to speak as clearly in previous IOS versions.

Overall, though, I do agree with you guys that this release has 
brought about some really cool features.

Thanks and have a good night,

Hi all,

I updated and have not experienced jumping right into the app 
from
notifications on the lock screen.  I've been doing that to access 
text
messages, what's app messages, and other things without a 
problem.
Perhaps it is a selective bug?
Also, even as someone who has not tried using a braille display 
with
the phone yet, I'm just not a fan of the way mail message threads 
are
laid out now.  I liked having separate messages to keep 
everything
more organized.  It's annoying to not necessarily recognize how 
many
messages might be in a thread.  Say if someone emails me, and I
quickly want to see what they say.  If I don't want to wait 
around to
hear voiceover say, "3 messages in thread," I won't really know 
to go
all the way through the thread.  That's just me.

There are a few things I really do like about it, though.  I 
think
notifications in general are nicer, and I'm having fun with the 
social
features in messaging now.  The Siri kit is something I'll be
interested to see further developed, and I also like the way 
Apple
Music has been redesigned.  For those of you who make use of that
service, I think the music app and apple music are much more
streamlined now.

Thanks,

 HI jamie!
 I upgraded to IOS 10, and have found things to work farely well.  
I had
 a small problem getting around the app store to search for an 
App, but
 Serie made that work OK.
 I haven't had the chance to play around with everything, but if 
you check
 out
 http://iaccessibility.net
 they have quite a few well written guides on the new features so 
you
 get an idea of what the features are and what they do.
 Hope this helps.
 From David

 Hello all,

 I'm wondering if anyone has updated to IOS 10 yet.  I have an 
iPhone 6S,
 and
 it looks like IOS 10 has some pretty drastic changes.  If you 
have
 upgraded,
 I'm interested to know what your thoughts are.

 Best,

 Jameyanne
