Difficulty with VoiceOver and Apple Books

By Algebraist65, 28 October, 2021

macOS and Mac Apps

I recently upgraded to the latest software for mac, and now I’m having trouble reading ebooks in aple books with voice over. Every time I use the command to read by sentence, it takes several seconds for voice over to actually start reading. Doesn’t happen in any other apps I use: only in apple books. How do I fix this. Its making my reading experience very inefficient. It makes my mac heat up quite a bit: the fans even go off, which rarely happens for me. And its always saying ‘books not responding.’

same problem after updating my mac as well

Actually, I was not even able to navigate within an ebook before this update. When I use to enter into the text area, the pages use to move automatically to undesired locations. But after this update, that problem is resolved but a new one has arrived. when I am entering into the text area and trying to move line by line or word or anyway, it is legging a lot and becoming really irritating.

sign up for the Apple Beta Software program, or the Apple Developer program if you can afford it, and submit a bug report through the Feedback assistant app.

Apple Book İssues

Hi.
I upgraded my M 1 Mac mini to Monterey and yes, unfortunately the books app is sluggish and inconsistent, but I reported the issues I had encountered to apple accessibility department and they replied back to me saying that they could reproduce the issues and reported them to their engineering teams. The books app is a crucial part of my computer usage because I read all my books from this app. So hopefully the bugs will be fixed soon.
