In iOS 18, the ability was added to search for contact names using the T9 typing method in the Keypad of the Phone app.
Thos means typing a number 2 if the name has an A, B, or C in it, 3 for D, E or F, and so on.
Results then appear from your contacts list.
Voiceover however is not speaking these results, instead just saying "Button".

When using VoiceOver Find with a braille display, searching does not function as expected after typing in text and pressing Enter. This prevents users from being able to effectively find text content using the Space-F shortcut on a braille keyboard.

When placing a Real-Time Text call, once the braille user enters the area displaying what the other party is typing, the text will not update with the newly typed text. The braille user will only be able to read what has been typed before they enter that text area.

2. After writing something and then moving around the screen with QuickNav on, press either a Cursor Routing button on a braille display or the up and down arrows to select the next desired text field.
3. When you do, regardless of Verbocity settings, VoiceOver only plays the sound to indicate that QuickNav has been turned off. There is never speech or braille feedback given in this set of circumstances.

When not using VoiceOver, you can simply tap on the screen somewhere away from the menu to dismiss it.

When selecting shortcuts in a folder in the Shortcuts app, VoiceOver does not speak the selection status of shortcuts.

After selecting the split screen option in the multi-tasking menu, you are returned to your Home Screen to select the app you want to share the screen with. Some apps are not supported, and if selected will simply open in full screen, but VoiceOver gives no indication of which apps are and are not supported.

When VoiceOver focus is placed on a notification on either the Lock screen or Notification Center, VoiceOver will typically speak most of the notification twice.
For instance, this is how a notification might appear visually:
SKY NEWS, 5 minutes ago
Sky News, Man bites dog, 2:42 pm
However, in the above example, what VoiceOver actually speaks is:
SKY NEWS, 5 minutes ago
Sky News, Man bites dog, 2:42 pm
Sky News, Man bites dog

When starting a new conversation in the Messages app with VoiceOVer enabled and using Braille Screen Input, VoiceOver does not speak words deleted if you are using the two-finger flick left to delete by word. This behavior only occurs when starting a new conversation (it *does not* occur when typing a message in an existing thread) and it only occurs when using the two-finger swipe left to delete by word. Using the one-finger swipe left to delete by character speaks as expected.

In iOS 10.2, there is a significant delay between when something is typed using a braille display, and when VoiceOver puts that text on the screen. The grade of braille input does not change this delay, and it has been duplicated using both the UEB and US English translation tables. This also appears to impact all braille display models. A Focus, Braille Edge, Refreshabraille and Smart Beetle were all tested.
