Extra Speech on Device Start -Up

Hi, Is your iPhone jailbroken? If so, do you have a tweak installed called beekeyboard? I found that this tweak although very useful as it lets you set up keyboard shortcuts for a bluetooth keyboard, causes the behaviour you describe, and VoiceOver says unmuted usually when the bluetooth is toggled or a device connects via bluetooth, the phone also said unmuted without fail whenever I turned the phone on. I told the author about the problem, but he had no idea what the problem might be. I found that removing this particular tweak for me fixed the problem. If none of the above is true in your case, it sounds like an underlying VoiceOver issue exists that needs fixing, and it would be worth you contacting apple accessibility. If you want to fix the issue only solution I can suggest is restoring your phone.

I sometimes encounter the same circumstance, but I can surmise why it's happening to me. In your case, though, I'm uncertain. I use an iPhone, which has a switch on the left that allows people to mute or unmute the noises it produces. I normally have my phone unmuted, therefore mine may say "unmuted" when I start it because it is indeed unmuted. From what I heard, there isn't a switch on the iPod, thus I don't know where the problem may be coming from. Perhaps there's a mute and unmute feature that is built into the product or something.
