Voiceover is so sluggishh

iOS and iPadOS

I have updated my iPad air and mini to ios 9.1. I'm happy with the results except for Voiceover performance. On both devices I now have to hold my finger on each on screen keyboard character before Voiceover says what it is. In ios 7 Voiceover would speak the character the instant I touched the key, now I have to hold and wait. I am wondering if anyone has found a way to remedy this. I notice there are new settings for touch so maybe I need to tweak those. Thanks for any advice.

Not having that issue.

Hello,

I’m not seeing that issue on my devices. Even on my older iPad 3, when I tap a letter, there is no delay.

Have you tried to do a restore?It’s odd how it’s doing it on both your devices which leads me to suspect it’s either a settings issue or an app you have on both items that’s causing the delay. If you decide to try a restore, test the keyboard before installing any apps.

HTH and good luck.

Hard Reset

Have you tried a simple hard reset by pressing and holding the power and home buttons for 10 seconds before releasing? Sometimes this solves otherwise puzzling issues for me.

Have done many hard resets...

...so will try a restore and app elimination maneuver. Thank you both VERY much for your help.
