I am registered blind and my life was made much easier when I purchased my iPad. I could shop, email keep in touch with friends and family,listen to books on my kindel app.
Now my iPad is useless voiceover keeps switching on and off and is causing all sorts of problems for me. When will this problem be fixed???

Unfortunately, it's anyone's guess when these bugs will be fixed. Personally, I'm waiting to update until I see that certain bugs have been fixed; Applevis is usually very good about posting information on what accessibility issues have been fixed (or what bugs have showed up) in each release. For example, you may have been spared a lot of trouble if you'd read the post about accessibility bugs in iOS 8 (found here: http://www.applevis.com/blog/advocacy-apple-braille-ios-news/accessibility-bugs-ios-8-serious-minor). I'd definitely encourage you to read up on any possible accessibility issues before upgrading in the future, and to keep an eye out for posts regarding future updates that may fix these issues.
