World of Hyatt: a Possible Solution
Greetings:
I have found that you need to turn on VoiceOver Screen Recognition for this app. You do this through Settings, Accessibility, VoiceOver, VoiceOver Description, Screen Recognition.
Here are the steps you can execute to turn on VoiceOver Screen Recognition but only for the Hyatt app on your iPhone.
1. From the Home Page, ask Siri to “open VoiceOver Settings.” This will take you right into the settings that govern the behavior of VoiceOver.
2. Keep flicking to the right on the resulting page until you hear “VoiceOver Recognition.” Double tap with one finger on this item.
3. Now, flick right with one finger until VoiceOver says, “Screen Recognition.” This will be stated as being either on or off. You want this to be set to on. Regardless of the state of Screen Recognition here, you do want to perform a single-finger double-tap to activate this item.
4. On this next page, you are focused on a Screen Recognition button which says that it is either on or off. “Screen Recognition, Switch Button On,” is what you want to be the state of this button. If Off was the status spoken, double-tap the button to turn on Screen Recognition.
5. Flick right with one finger until you reach, “Apply to Apps.” Because I have Hyatt selected as the app where I actually want Screen Recognition to work, my iPhone says, “Apply to Apps, Hyatt button.” If your iPhone doesn’t say anything about Hyatt, you now need to double-tap this button to open yet another screen.
6. The resulting screen has a very long list of apps sorted in alphabetical order. Swipe up with three fingers a few times until you get to the aps whose names start with the letter h. Hyatt should be somewhere here. Find Hyatt and double-tap on it with one finger to ensure it is “selected.”
7. Now, go back into the Hyatt app to see if this fixes the problem. It did for me.
Screen Recognition Limitations
Curtis,
Thanks for the detailed write up on screen recognition for a specific app, and this is worth setting up for Hyatt in its current state.
While screen recognition does read some of the data from various screens, it does not allow you to access many types of transactions that one was previously able to access before this latest inaccessible version.
Example 1: Account
In the account tab of the appp, there is overview, past activity, and awards. You land on overview by default. However, even with screen recognition on, you cannot access the past activity or awards screen with in the account tab.
Example 2: Stays
I have not been able to modify a stay, check in to a stay, or cancel a stay.
Example 3: Booking a new reservation:
I have not been able to book a new reservation, not able to access all the fields.
I was able to do all these things prior to this version. Mind you they had some rough edges, but I was able to complete these transactions.
Right now I am only able to read a small subset of data in my account and reservations.
Thanks, Mika!
