Hi everyone!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Shalin Shah, a college student at UC Berkeley studying computer science. I develop and maintain an application called Voice OCR. I just wanted to share that I released a new update a few days ago – Voice 6.3. It's free to download, and you can find it on the app store here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voice-ocr-document-reader/id903772588.
I just used an automated phone service an when I entered the numbers voice over didn't fade off. I love it.
Hello All,
I am trying to find information on using assistive touch and voice over at the same time. I am not able to locate this, "transparent white dot" that all of these articles speak of with voice over. Apparently this white dot is on every screen but I am not able to find this dot and tap on it using voice over. Does anyone know if this can be done? I am completely and totally blind. Thank you in advance for any information you could share as to how to accomplish this. Thank you. -Andrew-
Hi All, This is my first time posting.Hopefully it goes through alright.
I am using an iPhone 6 plus with Voice Over and I notice that it only announces and incoming call one time. I do not seem to be hearing it. I called Apple and they said that they are un aware of a way to allow it to announce the caller ID more than one time.
I am used to my previous phone where I could set it up so that the caller ID was repeated multiple times.
Has anyone else encountered this issue or made a complaint to Apple accessibility?
Thank you.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a document which list the finger navigation movements for using voice over?
Hi there, I updated to the latest IOS 14 last night on my iphone 8 and have noticed that when navigating between apps that there is a slight delay in responsiveness with voice over than before I updated.
I am having sluggish performance and crashes, paticularly in Safari on my iphone5, ipad4 and ipad mini. As requested by Apple i have sent diagnostic info. I have found slugishness, but not crashes and freezing, can be fixed by not using the enhanced boice which presumably uses less cpu power. Seems to me ios8 and enhanced voice will not run smootthly on older devices like it did with ios7. Anyone else found this?

Here is a letter I wrote to Apple Accessibility and their quick response.
I'm writing you with a very strange problem or at least that's the way it seems to me.
I'm using an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.3.2
I have my notifications and alerts configured to speak with Voice Over even when the screen is locked.
Everything works fine with the phone when I have a belt clip on in this case Mopie's belt clip with an extended Battery.
But, when I use the pouch or holster, I hear only the sound for the alert but not Voice Over reading the alert.
I don't know if this is a bug but it's been happening since IOS13 and continued with all the updates. I was hoping it would stop with the latest update but it hasn't. It happens when I'm listening to a podcast or a book, and it is extremely annoying. I lock the screen and the phone comes on every minute announcing the time, so my only resort is to switch voice over off. Has anyone else had this happen, or is it a bug.
Hi. i noticed something strange. i only wish i could pinpoint when this behavior resurfaced. A few versions of IOS ago, Voice over would take a long time to click off, after it was done speaking. You would only notice this if your ear were next to the speaker, say if it were lying on your pillow. Well in a subsequent version this wait time for lack of a better description was drastically reduced. Until now with IOS13, i noticed that it took i'd say a full two minutes after i stopped interacting with the screen. Let me give you an example.
Hello all:
Iphone 13 pro max here with Ios 17.03,
after upgrading to IOs17, Voce over stopped reading notifications, so, when i got a new notification, i can only here the notification sound, but VOice over do not tell me what is this?
even when my screen is unlocked, so, i should touch the screen and go to the top to see what's happened.
is there a solution for this?
Recently I have had issues that are really werrd. It says an underscore every time I read a letter. It says underscore before each letter and I have to se] type feedbck to words. I write a llot and have a braille display but I like BSI and could have the physical braille display while it does not work.
Recently, Voice Over has stopped saying the word percent. Battery 93 is now spoken rather than battery 93 percent. This happened a long time ago and I don't remember what I did to fix it. I've rebooted the phone and still no good. Its almost like something is covering the screen. I don't know if that's what's causing the problem or not. Any Suggestions?
I decided to try to use a Siri voice on my iPhone 13 pro today. Sometimes, I just get bored of the same old same. I'm however regretting this decision because of a strange issue. More often than not, it's as if voice over reboots, because I hear the voice say "Screen curtain on," which I do have mine on most of the time. Anyone else experiencing this odd behavior?
