In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to configure your iPhone or iPad with Touch ID to bypass the Lock Screen and open immediately after authenticating.

By default, after authenticating with Touch ID, you should hear what sounds like a lock opening, at which point you can either press the Home button if the device has one, or slide up from the bottom if it doesn't. However, if you'd rather the device opened immediately once you placed your finger on the Touch ID sensor, you can configure it to do so by going to Settings > Accessibility > Home button, and double-tapping the "Rest finger to open" switch.

In this episode, Thomas Domville introduces us to the new “per voice settings” introduced with iOS 17.

These can be found by navigating to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Speech, and then selecting the language and desired TTS voice. After selecting the voice, flick up or down with one finger, or press space with dot 3 or dot 6 on a Braille display, to access the per voice settings.

The configurable parameters available vary by voice. For example, Vocalizer voices can tweak sentence pause and timbre, while for Alex you can adjust pitch range and words per minute.

In this episode, Thomas Domville delves into the new feature introduced in iOS 17 that allows users to automatically delete one-time verification codes after they have been used. This feature is useful for keeping your Mail inbox and Messages app clutter-free.

To enable this feature:

1. Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Scroll down and double-tap Passwords (you’ll be prompted to use Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate the next screen).
3. Double-tap Password Options, and toggle the "Clean Up Automatically" switch on.

In this episode, Thomas Domville discusses the workings of the Emergency SOS feature on iOS. This feature is designed to be a swift and straightforward method for summoning assistance and notifying emergency contacts. Upon activation, it dials the nearest emergency service and transmits your whereabouts. For iPhone 14 models and newer, it’s capable of establishing a connection with satellite services in the absence of cellular or Wi-Fi signals. Following an emergency call, your device will automatically send a message to your designated emergency contacts providing them with your location, and will continue to update them should you move.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.

And this feature I'm going to be covering is something that I hope you will never have to use ever.

However, it is also one of those features that you should know about, know how to use it, and get prepared for it if you ever have to do that.

This feature is called the Emergency SOS.

Now, for those that have been using for iOS for some time, you might be surprised how things have changed within that settings for Emergency SOS.

So this is probably a good time for you to go back and look into it and make sure all the settings are set the way you want it when you need it.

So let's dive into Emergency SOS, show you what the feature looks like, see what kind of setups you can, and settings that you can tweak, and then on top of that, knowing how to use it.

There's quite a few things in here, so let's go ahead and dive into the Settings app here.

Settings, double tap to open.

So we're gonna do just that, one finger, double tap to open up Settings.

Settings.

And then from here, just swipe to the right until you get to Emergency SOS.

Emergency SOS, button.

And we have arrived here.

So let's go ahead and open this up with one finger, double tap.

Settings, back, Settings, back button.

And now the focus is going to be at the top left-hand corner where you have your back button that takes you back to the settings.

Let me go right here a few times, and we'll get to our first little item that you are able to initiate Emergency SOS manually.

So there are two options to do this manually, and then I'll show you a couple of other options that can be done by automatic and when those would occur.

So as I swipe to the right.

Emergency SOS, heading.

Image, press and hold the side button and either volume button to make an emergency call.

In certain regions, you may need to specify an emergency service to dial.

Auto call requires a SIM card.

Call with hold and release.

Switch button on, double tap to toggle setting.

If you continuously hold the side button and either volume button, a countdown begins and an alarm sounds.

After the countdown, if you release the buttons, iPhone will call emergency services.

So here's our first option, and this should be set on.

If it's not, this is something you…

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to introduce you to an app called 11 Labs Reader, and it's spelled just as it sounds like.

So 11 Labs is one word, E-L-E-V-E-N-L-A-B-S, 11 Labs, space, reader.

This is an amazing app that you definitely want to check out if there's something that interests you, of course.

So I'm going to do a nice little review and walk through and show you a demonstration how to use 11 Labs Reader.

Now before I do that, 11 Labs should sound familiar for most of you out there.

If you haven't heard of 11 Labs, no problem.

11 Labs has been around for some time now, and what they're known for is being able to take any text and convert it into audio for you to listen.

It's incredible technology.

It sounds marvelous, and it's trying to do its best to sound as natural as possible.

And I personally think they're getting really close to that moment where we will be able to say, wow, this is definitely a hit on their hands.

And I think this app is no doubt going to be something that's going to be popular by some of you out there.

Now I have used other apps.

I won't mention those names.

They will take various files like text files or probably PDFs or EPUBs and try to read it out using whatever voice over voices that we have now.

And as you know, well, for myself, I'm not a big fan of those things.

And it's really kind of hard to read books or listen to articles with those voices, especially when I come back in a background where I'm not used to using older voices such as eloquence and such things like that.

It just sounds very unnatural, very robotic.

So I'm really more into more natural sounding speech.

So this is no doubt one of the big app that I definitely going to keep on my main home screen from now on.

Now it's saying that there are some quirks and issues with this app.

Yeah, for the most part, it is accessible and usable.

Now there are some things that if you need to do, it can be difficult.

So I won't be pointing that out.

But I'm hoping that there's definitely going to be some update to this app and to making things more efficient for voice over users.

Overall, I think this app definitely has potential and it definitely is going to be something I'm going to be using a lot.

So let's go ahead and…
