Hi,David;
I’m not sure I recall seeing that email with your response to me on this
subject, so, I’m glad you mention those comments here. If I’m wrong and
replied to you but forgot I did that, I apologize for any confusion. Take care.

Together?
Brian,
You're right about Siri providing more detailed responses when VoiceOver is
running. In fact, you were the one who told me about this and it's absolutely
true. As I wrote earlier to Lillian, the Google assistant on iOS is nice in
that its responses are spoken first, followed by VoiceOver reading its visual
responses. I think this is the case on Android as well.

The Google assistant app does work similar to Siri on the iPhone. I have
noticed that Siri becomes more vocal when voiceover is on. The Google app seems
to get confused when voiceover is talking long before you start talking it
would probably work better with headphones I haven't tried that

Good evening everyone,
We're considering adding the Amazon App to our iDevices running
Voiceover and Siri. We currently own the iPhone 6+ and an iPod Air2. Since the
Amazon App includes Alexa naturally we want to use it. We'd be curious to hear
if anyone has used Apple iDevices successfully with Alexa, Siri, and Voiceover
running simultainiously. I discovered that Alexa has capabilities (Skills) not
available in Siri such as the ability to dictate passcodes into fields within
the Amazon App. Your successful stories, cautionary tales concerning running
such a cocktail and any other feedback will be appreciated. All the best.
