I am an iPhone 5s user who uses zoom and VoiceOver. I have noticed that when I am in safari and do a google search I can't access more than two pages of search results with voiceover on. For example, if I search "dogs" I can scroll to the bottom of the page and click next to see page two, but once I'm on page two I can't go to any further pages unless I turn off voice over, switch pages and re-turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this, if so is there a work around you have found? I am running iOS 8.4, but also noticed it in 8.3.
iOS and iPadOS

Apologies if this has already been reported here at AppleVis.
I just discovered this bug a little while ago, as I was trying to update my contact photo. I’m going to basically just copy and paste the email I sent to Apple accessibility, so before anybody asks, yes I did report this. 😅
////Email begins
To the Accessibility Team at Apple:
VoiceOver and Screen Recognition cannot properly read the contact photo update screen, when choosing photo as the option.

Has anyone reported the bug to Apple where voiceover and Siri talk at the same time? I hope they fix it in iOS 13.3. Is there a work around in the meantime?

So, when I first started watching anime on Netflix, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that if there was no English dubbed version of the show, voice over would read me the subtitles. But an update or so later, it stopped. No matter what I tried: turning on closed captioning in the hearing section, for example. Has anyone had any success with this? If so, can you give me any tips. I have to watch a movie for Spanish class by next week and all of my classmates have the option of turning on the English subs.
Please and thanks in advance for any and all answers

Voiceover lags when viewing product page in the latest update to amazon shopping This only seams to happen after performing a search and tapping the product. I just thought I would point this out since a lot of us here use Amazon. Hopefully this can be addressed in a future update

I have noticed that when using voiceover, the two finger double tap activates the music player. Is there anyway to turn that off?? I know you can double tap again and it will stop, but just wondering if you can stop it all together.

Since upgrading to iOS 11, I seem to be having more problems than before whenever I try to access voicemail messages. I'm with AT&T, have an iPhone SE and they use visual voicemail. From what I've read so far, it's sounding like once you bouble-tap on a voicemail message and hear it, you can't replay it again, you can only read the transcript data.

Hello. I am trying to use voice control with voiceover on my iPhone running iOS 14.6. I understand from an earlier podcast on this site that this was possible to do reliably an iOS 13. However, I am not able to get it to work reliably. For example, when I issue a voice command to double tap on an item, the wrong item is activated. As another example, when I am on the home screen and issue a verbal command for voiceover to swipe left or right, I am moved to a different screen but not to another item on the same screen.

Hello. Whenever I open Safari and I am on, say, the Apple Vis website, the page will finish loading, VoiceOver will say, "Webpage loaded," and I flick 2 fingers to go to the top of the screen, and VoiceOver will say the first element on the page, but then it will automatically scroll to the bottom edge of the screen and it won't even finish saying the whole element. I am using IOS 5.1 on an iPhone 4. What should I do about this? This happens in another app I have called Menu 4 You. Thanks.

Is there any way that how much VoiceOver speaks, especially within a WhatsApp group chat, can be reduced? For instance, when clicking on a message it mentions all the details, the person’s name, phone number, emogies etc, before eventually getting to the actual message. So it says Message or document from maybe John 0721234567 plus all the emogies at the person’s name. When it is a replied message, it adds, Replying to a message from maybe the person’s name and phone number. is all this information necessary?

Hi everyone,
Ever since updating my iPhone 8 to 15.3, VoiceOver reads the time as follows: 12 colon 05 P dot M. I do not have this issue on my iPad.
I tried many of the suggestions indicated in this thread with no luck, even though these are two separate issues, and I have my punctuation level set to some. VoiceOver is as verbose as I want it to be in literally every single context. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how did you make it go away?

Hi all,
I have an App for the iGrill thermometers by Weber.
When the temperature changes by one degree, Voiceover announces the new value automatically.
I have another App for a pressure sensor, but on this one Voiceover doesn't do that.
My understanding is that this auto speak has to be supported in the App.
I talked to the developer and they told me that they don't have plans to change it.
Does anyone know if there is a workaround it, other than changing the App?

Is there any way to stop voiceover from announcing the caller ID loud out to the world. I have iPhone 13 pro running on IOS 16.4.1, and if my phone is unmuted and the phone rings, voiceover announces at full volume who is calling. Muting the phone through the silence ringer isn’t a solution, as the vibration sometimes can be missed and missed calls.

I've submitted the following bug report to Apple regarding audio destination in Voiceover when using a Bluetooth speaker that supports keeping speech on your phone. In this case, it's my beloved Bose SoundLink Mini 2 SE. The bug report is as follows:

Lately, even after getting a new iPhone, VoiceOver will suddenly, and abruptly, adopt the same kind of output heard when you are in a phone call. I could be reading an email, and then, all of a sudden, VoiceOver sounds as if I am on an active phone call, non speakerphone. I am not on an active phone call.
When I play some peace of audio again, or any media, then VoiceOver behaves normally, and stops sounding as if we're on an active phone call.

Hi,
I know the native youtube app can play videos with subtitles,
Voiceover can locate it within the player,
but when voiceover focus is on the subtitle, if the subtitle changed, voiceover did not automatically speak the new subtitle and I have to pause the video and read the subtitle manually and replay the video.
I would like to know any anlternative way that can have voiceover auto read out those subtitle while the video is playing.
Any alternative video player suggested?
Or any alternative ways?
Thanks

I'm sure this is a bug with the new audio ducking but has anyone else noticed that voiceover will raise it's volume when dictating, watching videos, etc. wand doesn't turn itself back down? Has anyone found a work around for this?
Thanks
