Which versions of the iPad does the new voiceover recognition features work on? I got a new iPad 5 months ago, updated to IOS14.1 or iPad-OS rather, and the voiceover recognition features do not show up.
iOS and iPadOS

Hi All,
My name is Jen. I'm a design student at the Rhode Island School of Design. I'm currently working on a project that it is all about Voiceover. I'm amazed by the capabilities of this technology. However, I think it's unfortunate that audio doesn't seem to get as much attention as do the visual aspects of web and app design.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some frustrations with Voiceover, or some of it's quirks.
I'd really appreciate it!
Best,
Jen

I was just browsing a news app when suddenly the VoiceOver voice changed and it sounded like the compact one. I went to settings and looked to see whether it had changed itself to the default setting in the VoiceOver settings, but it was still selected as English UK Enhanced as the default setting. I've tried turning my phone off and back on again, tried hard resetting, tried deleting the enhanced voice and downloading it again. None of these have worked.

Hi, just looking for a bit of advice on a problem, I have with the VoiceOver Rota. I am trying to play a word game that uses the Direct Touch Area. When I first went into the game, I thought I had turned on the option for the Direct Touch Area in the rota. It doesn’t seem to have worked and now when I go into the game, it is telling me to use the Rota, but when I try to use the Rota, nothing happens, and no Rota options are available. This means that VoiceOver cannot speak anything on the screen.

Hi
I'm using iOS 9.3 on my iPhone 5C. I was wondering how VoiceOver chooses the default rotor option. For example, if I were to turn Voiceover off and then on again, and entered a text field, would it default to the first rotor option [as listed in VoiceOver settings], or the characters option, as it is the smallest navigational increment? I want VO to default to words, but am not sure if this is actually possible.
Help appreciated.

On my iPhone 6 with IOS 10.1, Safari and VoiceOver will not let me move by character in multi line edit fields like the edit field for this post. Single line fields, like sign in fields seem to be fine. This is with the rotor set to character and flicking up and down, which only results in the end of line sound. On the mobile Facebook site with Safari, the multi line edit fields allow me to only move one character, then gets stuck, reading the contents of the edit field and the cursor position in which it's stuck with up and down flicks.

I've started noticing a trend with some app updates. I don't know if this is a voiceover issue or if this is app spacific. I'm going to give 2 examples here. Instacart for example when you add an item to the cart using your recent items tab, voiceover will say the add to cart button is dimd when it really is not. I can still add items to my cart even though voiceover states the button is dimd. Another example is the my chart app. With the latest update the schedule appointment button voiceover says it's dimd but it still works.

I got a new xr and vo announces tilt left, tilt right, and level when I rotate my phone.
Why is this happening?

sometimes when I am on websites in IOS14.1 voiceover says "more content available," when I come across images. How do I access the extra content? More content is also in the rotor but swiping up and down does nothing. What do I need to do to access this?

Hello everybody. How can I disable VoiceOver from saying vertical line dot I have set the verbosity level to lowest but it still says that. I think after an update to iOS 11 it started saying vertical line. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much and have a great week

I am running IOS 14.8 on my iPhone SE with the apple A13 chip. After updating I turned off all the voiceover OCR and image description things in its OCR settings section. Then I turned them back on and it re-downloaded its training model data or whatever it uses for OCR. But when I launch an app, then turn on OCR, all I get is a blank screen and swiping does nothing, only thing I can see is the notification bar at the top of the screen. Turning voiceover off and on again with a tripple click of home button does nothing. Turning OCR off using the rotor make the app behave normally again.

Hello guys, I hope and wish you all well. I don't know if it's something about me, but I realized that VoiceOver has a considerably slow response in iOS 16 compared to iOS 15. I still use a Vocalizer voice, considerably more responsive than Siri voices, but I still notice a certain slowness when navigating, for example, between the folders on my home screen using gestures. I made a direct comparison with my iPhone 6s, which is still in iOS 15.7, and it managed to be considerably faster than my iPhone 11 Pro Max in iOS 16.

Hi everyone. I have encountered the following issue on my iPhone on iOS 13:
Go to settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver > Commands > All commands > VoiceOver > Label Item. The default gesture is "two finger single tap and hold". But if I do so, nothing happens. To change the label item, you have to double-tap with two finger ans hold to execute the command "label item".
Although, the problem is that some gestures were shown wrongly to the customers. That's a really serious issue I think. Can anyone confirm that behaviour?

When I call an agency, I regularly get a menu of options.
I then have to choose an option by entering a number.
Since iOS 15, VoiceOver sound is either very quiet or completely gone during a phone call.
Sometimes it is not possible to select a number at all. Very frustrating if, for example, you have a call bus
want to order.
I've been looking in the settings to see if I can set something here, but unfortunately I can't find anything.
Anyone have the same experience and possible solution?

Is anyone else finding that VoiceOver is not consistent when you raise your phone to wake it? Sometimes it announces the time, sometimes it is silent, apart from reporting the screen’s return to locked.
