Thank you Ellen, just getting to grips with dictation on I-pad pro max, it is working fairly well with my voice and not may spelling mistakes, but it does not (yet) like the commands I give for punctuation!
@@EllensTipsForiOS When you say put your cursor in the Field, what command do you say? Or would you use the “show numbers“ feature? As often I cannot see numbers for all the fields, which makes it so hard to do by voice. Thank you for your wonderful video! I’ve subscribed. :)
@@serinadelmar6012 Hi Serina, if you are setting up a custom command you'll have to use your finger to place the cursor inside the text area.Once the command is created you should be fine. If you look at the expample of creating a new note. When you say "Tap New Note" the cursor is already in that area and you can begin speaking. If I haven't answered your question let me know.
I found this very helpful. I am trying to assist my friend to find a book app that will turn pages of a book with voice control. S h e wants to read books not listen to them. I haven't found one, but perhaps the new ipad 13? Can you suggest? She has no use of hands so is voice dependent.
Hi Mary thanks for watching. This can be done using a custom gesture inside of voice control. I just tested it. Go to Settings>Accessibility >Voice Control. Toggle on Voice Control now tap customize commands. Choose Custom. Type in a phrase such as turn page. Tap on Action. I used a swipe action along the bottom area like you would to turn a page. Then choose the application, I used the books app. Once the book was open I said the phrase “turn page” and the page was turned. Hope that helps.
Hi Julie! Let me check and I’ll post the link here. Here's the link Julie. I also added it to the description. www.ellenstipsforios.com/resources/#how-to-easily-navigate-the-iphone-or-ipad-with-voice-control
Siri requires an active Internet connection because it sends some of your commands to Apple's servers where they are translated and then acted upon. Voice Control, on the other hand, is designed for the basic use in devices without an Internet connection. Hope that helps Marc.
Thank you for your video i use voice control because it's painful to touch screen with my fingers. Apple offers a accessibility hotline Open 24 seven which you should consider informing people about. It's helpful however unfortunate that many dedicated representatives don't really use this Voice control which is sad. Further you serve the Apple TV remote is very helpful but limited as it does not provide panning up or down capability. They really didn't follow-through by making it really good. Dictation is very good but needs work as usability could be improved. And finally using a mouse with full voice control is still not available which is extremely disappointing as I can't use a keyboard or a mouse with my hands. Very disappointing that the nuances Voice control are still in the dark ages it's as if the people designing it really don't take much interest and the users that ultimately depend on it. But Apple does a better job than Microsoft with on screen voice control but both companies fail miserably with mouse control.

This is the best video I’ve seen on setting up and using voice control- and she’s a senior 😉
Thanks Pat!! Glad it helped you out and yes I’m a Senior!🤣
I love using voice control on my phone I use it all the time and I love it it comes in handy! I do everything with the voice commands
Hi Ellen, an excellent feature to study.
Thanks Philip! Hope you find it useful.

You’re welcome. I’m sure with practice you’ll get better!
Thank you so much - this was super helpful. My dad has limited use of his hands, so your tips helped a lot
I’m so glad it helped!
I found this very good
Thanks Eileen!
Very useful..thanks
Can you give us an example of how to insert address to a form that you are completing?
Nina, You would add a custom command as shown in the video. Put your cursor in the field and speak the command. Hope that helps. If not let me know.

So any book app like libby?
I’m not sure you’d have to try it out.
Can this be used to go to apps such as UA-cam and Google?
It should be able to open those apps.
The voice control resource guide link is giving me an error?

Wow didn’t know this setting existed. What would be the difference between voice control and Siri?
Siri requires an active Internet connection because it sends some of your commands to Apple's servers where they are translated and then acted upon. Voice Control, on the other hand, is designed for the basic use in devices without an Internet connection. Hope that helps Marc.
@@EllensTipsForiOS helps! I’ve been playing with it and it’s incredible. Thanks for showing us.
Great to hear Marc!
