Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

1. the automix feature has made it's way into the music app on macOS as well, so you can easily listen to how a song transitions
2. The notification options in the messages settings for screening calls are correctly labeled and voiceover now properly reads them. In the previous beta it was not accessible and the labels were not read properly forcing you to use VO shift L to read the labeled options.
3. The customize voice option once again works when announce the time option is on. You can once again customize the voice to your prefered choice. also, you can even enable the higher sample rate for your prefered eloquence voice of choice when announce the time option is on.
4. You can once again press the FN key to toggle dictation. Unfortunately when you speak an emoji, eloquence reads the emoji as spelled. But nevertheless, it still inserts the emoji even though eloquence unfortunately spells out the emoji. That's a bug, so hopefully that will get resolved in the third beta.

Over all, not bad so far. Continue to send feedback to apple.

Couple of new parts to screen sharing in the VO utility menu:

If remote device has VoiceOver on: Options are all commands control remote device (or) most commands control remote device. Not entirely sure what this means.

Also, a choice for whether it is silent or voiceover chatters whilst taking control of the remote device.

Interesting it uses the term (device). Is this going to allow us to control IOS devices too? Can't imagine so but they usually use the term 'computer'.
