Hi All,
I'm delighted to tell you that the developer of SimpleMic has resolved
the mentioned issue in an update.
The developer has also been very responsive to the feedback regarding
adding new VO specific features.
Please see some of the Tweets I sent to, and received from, the
developer of the said app below.
Nick Bonatsakis (@@nickbona): @NiallJG91 @simplemic @AppleVis Hey
Niall, the fix for the recordings list should be rolling out as we
speak.
Niall Gallagher (@@NiallJG91): Hey @nickbona 😁 Thank you so much for
the update!!!!! Everyone I recommended the app to will be so happy.
😎
Nick Bonatsakis (@@nickbona):
@NiallJG91 @simplemic @AppleVis I'll definitely investigate if it's
possible to provide custom actions in that way.
Niall Gallagher (@@NiallJG91): @nickbona Fantastic to see a developer
be so responsive to feedback. I will edit the @AppleVis directory to
reflect update. #GreatWork
Kind regards,
Niall

Thanks Niall. This is good news. I do like the simplicity of this app. I was
looking for an app to easily and quickly record the odd audio note and this
one fits the bill. For instance have you tried the record on launch option?
Rather neat. One improvement could be to add the ability to carry out some
actions by highlighting a recorded message and flicking up/down. Actions
like delete, share etc. just like you interact with text messages and emails
for example. This will make carrying out tasks much quicker IMHO.
Niall, if you are already in contact with the developers, maybe you could
suggest this?
Best
Amro

Hi All,

Nick Bonatsakis, @NiallJG91 @ke7zum Sorry to hear you guys have been
having issues. I'm totally on it, expect an update soon.
Can't wait for the update, and the developer stated he will be working
on more accessibility focused apps in the near future.

Hi Niall and Amro
I am going to ask the person who recommended this app to me how he is able
to play more than one recording in a list as I can't either. This is a
really nice app but for a few quirks that could be made more accessible.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Amro,
I'm glad to read someone else is having the same experience as myself.
I have contacted the developers via Twitter, but I'm not sure how
responsive to social media they are.
When you flick up and down, you are changing the recording modes.
Normal is the default i.e. flick right and left, sound starts recording
when a level of sound is detected, and no motion will start recording when
the iOS device isn't moving.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Niall

Same here. I think this app is terrific but I can’t find
any way
to
play messages other than the top one from the list of messages. My
sighted wife confirms that there’s a play button next to
each
message but VO can only see the top one for some reason. Again tabbing
messages only selects them.
Has anyone noticed that flicking up/down toggles some mode between
three
settings: normal/vibration/sounds? Yet to know what this is.

Amro

Hi Jackie,
I am only experimenting with the app too.
I have two or three recordings in the list, but I am only able to play
the first item.
Double tapping will only select the recording for me, it won't play.
Kind regards,
Niall

Hi Niall
I have only played with recording silly stuff, but each recording
appears in the list, and I tapped it rather than the Play button for
each one.
Try that!

Hi,
I downloaded SimpleMic and it is a great app, but I have a question
I'm wondering can you help with.
How is it possible to play the second or third recording in the
recordings list?
I can find the play button for the first recording, but it is not
present when another item is selected.
I have got sighted confirmation that a play button is present for
each item, but it is not announced by VoiceOver.
Kind regards,
Niall

Hi Richard
I have tried to tap the Help button unsuccessfully too, so am none
the wiser what is in there.
When using this app, it seems to be essential to keep your finger at
the bottom of the screen if you want to access the Settings or other
buttons or else you will possibly activate the microphone.
A good enough app for what it does.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Brown
