Does anyone use voice control, and if so what do you use it for? I’m debating if I should use it when I update to the latest version of iOS (self.Blind)

I don't use Voice Control, and my impression is that it's designed for sighted people with motor disabilities since it requires you to know what's on the screen.

I'm confused about why so many blind people are so excited about it. It's not meant for us. It would be like sighted people getting excited about VoiceOver.

Are you talking about  Siri or is this something else I don’t know about?
Duriello 2 points 3y ago
Voice Control is a new feature in iOS 13 and MacOS Catalina that lets you interface with regular applications using your voice rather than a keyboard and mouse or trackpad.

I don't use it, and if I were you, I would wait to update. Thirteen is super buggy.

I’ve updated to the latest IOS version and it works fine for me.
I think it might depend on your phones version.

Just watch out because sometimes VoiceOver freezes when hanging up from a call. I haven't upgraded my Iphone because of that. My Ipad runs 13 though.

I’ve heard of that, it hasn’t happened to me yet.

I use my phone too much to put up with that.

It may not be meant for us per se, but I still enjoy using it. If you remember what's on your screen it can be a nice way to control the phone without having to touch it. I don't think it should be dismissed entirely just because it might not be obvious how it is used, especially since Apple did go to the trouble of making it work with VoiceOVer.
