iOS and iPadOS
Hi all, I have been using iOs 5 for 3 days now. I have notticed some issues specially the voiceover response.
The first issue that I would like to talk about is typing. When I touch a letter, voiceover annunces immediately the letter under my finger. I remove the finger from the screen and the letter is written. A few time later, I touch another letter, and voiceover has some lag to say which letter I am touching.
In general, voiceover has become more slow to answer commands and give the voice output as fast as it did in other ios versions. Also, sometime voiceover loses focus and you have to touch anywhere on the screen to find some element to keep navigating.
Maybe it could be because of the high quality voice, which I have turned off in setting / general / accessibility / voiceover, but I still have the same problem.
I have an iPhone 4, running ios 5.0.
Is anybody having the same problem?

VoiceOver sluggishness
I've found that VoiceOver can get a little unresponsive when I'm selecting a large number of emails to delete (100+). There's also been a couple of times when VoiceOver focus has behaved quite erratically when flicking through the list.
One other thing that I have noticed is that sometimes it can take a couple of attemtps for VoiceOVer to respond to a gesture (genrally a double-tap).
I'm using high quality voices on an iPhone 4, so will perhaps drop back to compact voices and see if the trade-off is worth it.

Voiceover On Bug
Hi, I have also gotten the "voiceover on" message a few times while in the middle of working with my 4S. This almost seems as if Voiceover is crashing, and is automatically restarted by the OS. I have also seen the loss of focus problem, especially when trying to select messages in the email app, but not nearly as often as happened on my 3GS before upgrading. I have contacted Apple accessibility about these. If apple gets enough complaints, they will hopefully be more motivated to fix the problems!
