VoiceOver Problems

Hi all, Since upgrading to IOS8 I have noticed a few bugs with Voice over.

For Example:_
- Auto correction switching off randomly, double tap with two fingers not answering or hanging up ending a phone call,
- Within the calender app when swiping down to delete, then double tapping to select it does not delete the event.
- In the notification center, when double tapping the clear button it does not delete the notifications.
- In some particular apps when sharing by message or email, the send button does not work
- When typing the letter is constantly repeated after touching it.

Has anyone else experienced any of these and do you know how to correct them? Or if there is a contact to Apple where we
can report these issues??

Getting frustrated now :(
Thanks Jo

Yea, same problem in my iphone 5s ios 8.0.2.
Also when dictate via new dictate button on keyboard, voiceover sometimes says what was inserted, sometimes says nothing and when navigating in the text field sometimes its says words or letters correctly and sometimes no.

Also the bug in safary when the back button is pressed and VO is unable to jump by headlines or another elements...

When somebody is calling you, my VO firstly says name of caller and after that it says answer button. So double tap with one finger is choice to answer the incoming call. you can hang up active call by sleep button during make a call by one press.

So confused from this update. It brings many new features but many new limitations for VO users... I have read today Apple release the ios 8.1 beta for developers. I hope it will fix every bugs mentioned here.

Just out of curiousity, are you choosing to ignore the main post on this website which details all and more of the problems in voiceover? I ask because it seems like you think this is an apple website where issues are going to be logged and actually reported. you are going to need to report these to accessibility@apple.com.
