Apple News - iOS 7.1.1 updated (includes fix to VO BT KB bug)

Great to see this iOS 7.1.1 update come out, including the VoiceOver Bluetooth Keyboard bug fix which stopped users of VoiceOver typing in to any edit field on iOS.

 

Its only been just over 4 weeks since the bug was introduced with iOS 7.1 with a previous issue with not being able to shut up the voice with the Control key: all seems fine now for both issues: fingers crossed.

 

If you haven't got notified of the update, go to Settings, General, Software update.

 

Here is a link from The Unofficial Apple Web Blog (TUAWB) in respect to the update:

Oddly the iOS version is less accessible than the Android version mainly in accessing the popup Windows that come from the machine (eg out of water etc), can still use the app to select your coffee.   Another app which deserves a note due to its lack of accessibility on iOS, and a bit on Android, is the Sensibo app for the Air Conditioner.  There messy to use with a screen reader on iOS or Android, the ...
