Hi Brian, I hear you. The issue is resolved. I did not have to use any software. The iPhone has a feature where images are moved to a recently deleted folder and I had not realized that that had

Hi, I’ve heard of that. My room mate used an apple computer in the mid 80s. You had to put in a floppy disk to activate the voice. Someone demonstrated it at a workshop I attended in the mid to late
