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.
iOS and iPadOS

Hi everyone! I am a very recently user of an iphone 4s, my first ios product. I love voice over and i would like to use all the benefits of the phone. One of them is gps; i know that voice over doesn't speak with igo or navigon, the most used softwares in Romania, where i live. Could you give me a solution to have a very good map and in the same time to be spoken by the voice over? Thank you very much anticipately! Best wishes, Tibi!

Okay, I did actually upgrade my I-pod 5g touch to the IOS 7.4.
Is it just me or is the voice quality in this version for voice over rather poor?
Is there a way to improve the voice or are there other voices that can be found and downloaded that will work on an I-pod that are accessible?
question 2:
I know that even though I hit the home button the app is now off the screen but it is still open and running in the background.
Is there a way to list your open apps and truly close them? I was told this a new feature in version 7.4, but no one told me how to do it.
Thanks to all for the help

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?

I am a complete newby at using message boards and the like, so I'm probably doing something wrong; I apologize in advance. By way of an introduction, I'll simply say that I'm *totally* in love with my iPhone and Apple for what they've done. It's not at all an overstatement to call it revolutionary. But my question concerns a slight glitch with voice over. The voice has become decomposed/fragmented-it's sort of breaking down. I've tried rebooting by leaving it off over night, turning VO off and back on, etc, but nothing is working.

Just a reminder!!
As we all know. iOS 6 stinks.. Please do your part to help. Of course, post issue here. Most important, report them to Apple at [email protected]. If we report issues in numbers, we can't be ignored. I have never seen an OS so bad.

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?

When I turned voice over on, it cannot be turned off. The screen does not scroll to the box to turn it off. How do I disable voice over

Hi All,
I saw on here awhile back where someone was having problems with VO losing focus on a webpage or in webpages in general. I've noticed this too, especially when navigating by headings. Has anyone else noticed this, and does anyone know when or if this will be fixed?
I'm running iOs 6 with an iPhone 4S.
Thanks, Shane.

I didn't do anything to caus it, voice over just stopped working. I tried rebooting the phone a couple of times with no luck.
I also did a triple tap on the home button but voice over didn't do anything so I couldn't tell if it was on or off.
I went into iTunes and hit the universal buis button. I think that's what it is called.
I may have the wrong title but it allows you to check a box and turn Voice Over on. The box was unchecked when I went in there.
Once I checked it, voice over came back on.
I knew something was wrong when the speech rate was back to the default.

Does anyone else notice that vo doesn't always make the bong sound to let you know you can't move any further? This may be a hard one to produce because it is intermittent. Restarting vo does fix this. On my way to report my findings to apple.

Hi all,
As the title says, i can not get VO read automatickly other languages, for example Turkish using voice Cem, or Georgian using voice Max.
I added both of those languages in a roater, although still not working.
Am on iOs 16.5. Wonder if i'm doing something wrong, or need to do something else?
Thannks in advance for help.
