I am having a problem where when adjusting the volume on my phone if I have music playing, Voiceover says high volume, or at the low end, voiceover will not speak, but it will say screne locked when the screene locks.
I have an I phone 4s, does anyone know why this could be happening? Its not a huge problem its just anoying, because when it says high volume, it says screene locked about 5 seconds later. A real downer when your training and listening to music.
thank you for any help.

Hello to all members using an iPhone 15 Pro Max running the latest version of iOS. I’ve been noticing that voice over is being louder than usual, it feels like it’s gonna break the speaker. I’ve been using different voices such as Tom read Alex and Samantha is anyone Else noticing this unexpected behavior? Thanks a lot for your help

Hi. Using IOS8 on an iPhone 5S. I have selected the Alex voice and managed to tget it speaking, however, volume randomly decreases when I am using my device. I have volume in the rotor and it is at 100% I increase the volume again, with the bottuns on the side of the phone, but it subsequently decreases again shortly afterwards. Has anyone experienced this and, if so, are there any recommended workarounds?

More of an annoying issue than a problematic one but since updating to IOS13.5 it's very clear that the rota setting for the Voiceover volume does not alter the Voiceover volume. The only way I can alter the Voiceover volume is by aaltering the system volume, which is obviously possible but not ideal. has anyone else experienced this bug? has anyone found a work-around? I'm using the new iPhone SE 2020 and running the latest IOS. also using UK Siri female voice although I have tried with other voices and the results are identical.

Hi. On reading about the new 3D Touch facilities, on the new iPhone 6S/6S+, I was wondering how Voiceover will work with this? Assuming that nothing was outlined at the launch event on this topic, does anyone have further information at the current time, or do we need to await Applevis members getting their hands on the new devices and testing out the new features, from a Voiceover Perspective? I am due to renew my contract in October and am trying to work out whether to go with the 6S+ or the currently available 6+.

Hi all, im after a little help on how to get voiceover to work on a interactive presentation that i created In keynote and want to export to either goodnotes or another app. So far i have trialed it in goodnote but for example the interactive linked shapes or writing will not work with voiceover.
So is there a way around this or another app that will work?

I have been working with somebody who needs voice control to control the iPhone and iPad but also needs voiceover to navigate. iOS 12 no issues. iOS 13 the commands changed to specific voiceover commands but was still functional albeit wordy. iOS 14 I can’t get it to recognise any of the voiceover commands at all so they are unable to navigate as a they can’t see the screen to use show names etc.

Has anyone had success using voiceover with Word 2008 for a Mac?

Hi,
I just got my new iPhone 8 last Wednesday as a birthday present as well as a new protective case that basically covers the entire screen. I noticed, while using my new iPhone 8, that VoiceOver won't inform me of new notifications when I have my iPhone display off. I tried turning on always speak notifications and this doesn't make any difference.

This might be a dumb question but it stirred my curiosity. I looked all over the internet and I even went through all the guides about voiceover but I couldn't seem to find it. I listen to voiceover at 100 percent. I was wondering if anyone knew the words per minute of voiceover at 100 percent setting?
Thank you in advance

Hello folks.
So... here's the situation I find myself in.
Back when iPad OS 13 was still in beta, we're talking beta 1 here, I put my iPad 6th gen onto the program and almost immediately I started having problems with speech. Those problems lasted until the final release, and are even still present in iPad OS 13.1.3 (I haven't had the chance to update to 13.2 and won't until Friday, but I doubt that will fix it).

Hi all,
Is there a way to make the VoiceOver's lift subject rotor action appear for all photos in iOS 16, specifically iOS 16.2?
I noticed that this rotor action only appears for certain photos, but not all photos in my Photos app.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Yesterday I set up my iPhone 13 as a new device and have the following problem: When I press the side button, I immediately feel the haptic that Face ID has unlocked the device, but I hear the typical sound on the part of VoiceOver only sometimes. If I disable the speech output (double-tap with three fingers), the sound is always there.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Has anyone experienced significant volume fluctuation when playing media on a bluetooth speaker? This usually happens when you start playing media, then VoiceOver seems to raise its volume tremendously before coming back down.
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
Thanks.

Hi All.
I have just observed some strange behaviour involving VoiceOver, Audio Ducking, and Airplay which I thought might interest you all.
I have an Airport Express connected to a SONOS speaker, and I was streaming my iPhone's audio to said speaker using Airplay.
I suddenly noticed that the VoiceOver output was coming from my SONOS speaker instead of my iPhone, but the standard VoiceOver sounds were audible from the iPhone's speaker (clicks, beeps, rotor sounds, etc).

Hello everyone! There are still three months remaining until the launch of iOS 18, but rumors suggest that it will be introduced impressive artificial intelligence features with ios 18, and also an enhanced language model.

Hi everyone,
This morning VoiceOver suddenly started behaving oddly on my phone. I use 3 different languages on my phone: English (standard), Swedish and Dutch (Router languages). When switching from English to Dutch to read a message, I suddenly discovered that the Dutch voice had turned from enhanced quality to low quality, how is a mystery. Baffled, I switched back to English, only to discover that that one had turned down to low quality as well. Weirdly enough, the Swedish voice is still on enhanced, both voicewise and visibly in the settings.

I am running IOS11.3 on an iPhone 8. Since the latest update, my music starts to play when I am using BoiceOver in other apps. I pause the music, but it starts again. If I open then immediately close the music app, it starts again, too. Also, Siri sometimes opens by itself without me pushing the home button. Oh, I have shut down and restarted the phone, but my problems continue.

I have noticed a bug that’s been around since iOS 13, at least. I had hoped it would be fixed by iOS 14, but this is not the case. Voiceover has a problem where it will paste any text you have copy to your clipboard without you telling it too. It happens when you scroll. Both my iPhone and iPad do this. I have tried restarting them both, on numerous occasions. But this is just a bug that will not go away! It’s really annoying, and can get you into some deep trouble if you’re not careful. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi!
Is there a way to silence or slightly reduce voiceover’s speech during uncoming calls?
I don’t want everyone to hear caller’s name
