VoiceOver Issues with Latest iTunes for Mac

Hi All,

I'm wondering has anyone else noticed the accessibility issues with the latest version of iTunes?
In areas such as the get info window and activity pop over, all that VoiceOver announces is text.

In some cases, I can interact with the text and the proper label is read by VoiceOver.
If this is an issue experienced by many, hopefully a future update will rectify the issue.

Kind regards,

Niall

I think I may have noticed this too, but I'm honestly not sure since I haven't quite wrapped my head around the whole iTunes concept yet anyway. There do seem to be some minor accessibility issues though with 12.2 . For instance, I can no longer locate where to delete an item using VO. But like I said, this could just be because I have only imported CD's and done a bit of poking around in there. But I for one would greatly appreciate an updated guide or something on iTunes as a whole, from someone who really knows what they're doing and can communicate it without all sorts of errors. The recent walkthrough posted on here about Apple Music on the Mac is great, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't yet listened to it. But perhaps a text tutorial would be nice.

Hi
Not sure what's going on in iTunes with VoiceOver but definitely not working a it should... Have you managed to sort it?
