Jevie's hands on your phone

Say on my phone, … and Jevie does it in your phone's apps themselves, tapping, typing and scrolling as you would.

Use it

The first time, Jevie opens Settings › Accessibility. Turn on Jevie there, then say it again.

While it works, the line under the field says each step (tap: Search, type into: Message). When it finishes, Jevie says the outcome aloud, since the app it worked in is in front of Jevie.

An iPhone, from your Mac

An iPhone does not let one app use another, so here your Mac does the work, through the developer services Xcode uses. Nothing is installed on the phone and it is not jailbroken.

After the first USB connection it also works over Wi-Fi.

How it works

Android's accessibility service, which screen readers use, lets Jevie read the screen in front: every button, field, list and line of text, with its place. Jevie can press, type and scroll there too. Your phone is not rooted, nothing is plugged in, and no screenshot is taken.

Each step goes like this:

Some steps wait for you. Jevie never presses Pay, Buy, Place order or Transfer. It also leaves Send, Post, Delete and Call alone unless your sentence asked for that, so text mom saying hi sends, but look at my last photo never deletes it. When it stops at one of these, it leaves that screen up and tells you the button is yours to press. It never types a password.

It also keeps rings in place. When the assistant key's sheet closes with something ringed, the same service keeps the rings on the app and follows them as it scrolls (Assistant key). Only then does it listen to the app's scrolling and changes, only to find the ringed words again, and it stops when the rings go.
