Hello all,
I find myself struggling with Voiceover on my new iPad. I am quite comfortable with VO on my iPhone but with the increased form factor on the iPad and its different layout with multiple panes etc. I find it difficult to navigate some of my favorite apps like News, Podcast, Downcast etc. Are there some basic stuff I need to understand for navigating comfortably on the iPad? Any settings that will make my life easier? Any help will be welcome.
Thanks/
iPhone and iPad

Hello,
I have just unboxed my iPad mini -- pressed the power button...turned on the voice over by pressing the home button thrice, and completed the set up. I have been using iPhone for a while now -- currently have a 4S, but I have noticed that the voice on the iPad is somewhat different, it is kind of high pitch and not very clear. Do I need to make changes in the settings in order for it to sound like my iPhone?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone
After the latest update of the app to my homebanking, now VoiceOver on my iPhone translate numbers to letters, e.g. when I read character by character, and if I lets VoiceOver read the informations on the hole screen.
The number 3.228,63 is translated to the text three thousand two hundred and twenty-eight comma six three.
If you look visually on the screen, and also take a Picture via the build in option, the number is written with numbers. My homebanking support has not heard about this problem before for sighted people.

I use my Mac for all tasks that require any kind of writing of any length, including texts and E-mails. I have always found the text editing experience on IOS with VoiceOver to be somewhat lacking. Therefore, I have not used a keyboard with my iPhone in many years. I recently pared my Magic Keyboard with my iPhone, to see if and how things have changed. I have gotten mixed results. Everything works as expected in Messages. In Notes, when editing, when arrowing up and down, VO reads the entire paragraph, not the lines.

I am using an iPhone 6s plus, my software version is 13.3. I turn on VoiceOver (Accessability / VoiceOver on) and open a book in Kindle, then swipe down with two fingers for continuous reading. Until the last two upgrades voiceover would read the book to me correctly except for some odd pronunciations.

I have noticed:
That in iOS 13 and above, voiceover will only read the second number in a series or column of numbers
for example, if I am looking at my banking app, and it says $350, it will only say the number five

Hi folks. I’ve been having a problem with my phone for a while where sometimes very randomly and sporadically, VoiceOver will only be talking out of the top speaker and you hear absolutely nothing from the bottom speaker. I I’m using an iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 14.3 and this actually has been happening for me since iOS 13.7. I know my speakers aren’t damaged because when I’m playing audio for everything else, like watching videos, listening to music, podcasts, etc., stereo sound out of the top and bottom speakers is perfectly fine.

So I've been having issues with Voiceover not coming back up after I get off a call, but I simply shut down VO and bring it back up. A pain, but it works.
This morning, Voiceover is only working when I ask SIRI something, and I can get voice on the SIRI screen.
But as soon as I close the SIRI screen, Voiceover goes away.
I have powered the phone off and back up, I have stopped and started VO with SIRI, cycled VO off and on with triple tap, nothing is working.
I have made no updates recently, nor any changes.

I am running iPhone SE third generation, iOS 26.7.1. For approximately the past month or so, voiceover will just go completely quiet, requiring me to turn it off and on again, usually three or four times, before speech functions again. I have tried rebooting my iPhone and this doesn’t help. I’m trying to figure out if this is just my particular phone finally giving up the ghost or if anybody else is having a similar issue. Thank you

Hello team, how are you?
Since iOS 17.0, I was able to identify immediately after installing the system that the page loading sound played by VoiceOver is very low, with almost zero volume.
To reproduce the problem, simply open Safari and start loading any page, with VoiceOver enabled and its sounds turned on.

Hello! I'm adding a new section for sun events to my weather app (Please Don't Rain) and can't decide what the best approach would be for VoiceOver.
There are going to be multiple rows. Which do you feel I should do for a row?
Option A - sentence
"Sunrise at 7:53am with a duration of 8 hours and 21 minutes until sunset at 4:14pm."
Option B - combined data
"sunrise 7:53am, duration 8 hours 21 minutes, sunset 4:14pm"
Option C - something else
Thank you for any assistance!

Hi folks,
I hope you’re all doing well! I wanted to reach out regarding a problem I’m experiencing with the YouTube app on iOS when using VoiceOver.
When I try to adjust the playback speed, the app crashes suddenly. Additionally, I’m only able to see a limited set of speed options: “Normal speed,” “0.75x,” “0.50x,” and “0.25x.” The faster speed options—1.25x, 1.50x, 1.75x, and 2x—are not visible. Interestingly, the Screen Recognition feature makes all speed options appear again, but that workaround isn’t ideal.

Maybe it's just me and my hearing, but I think the voiceover pops to slide to unlock, app switcher, etc. need to be louder. I can hardly hear them. Is there a way to actually turn up the vo sounds without it turning up the voice?
Thanks

I hope you all are having a great weekend! I wanted to come here and lighten things up a little with another discussion forum. I'm curious what answers I'll get!
If you have more than one Apple device, do you like the same voice on each device or do you like to mix it up?
Are the voices on your devices different speaking rates? Even if it’s the same voice.
When choosing a voice, what matters more: prnunciation, understanding it at fast rates, or crisp and clear quality?
I'm curious what I'll get for these!

Hello,
I'd like to buy a irig keys, using in conjunction with garageband or similar app.
I'd like to use irig keys as second keyboard to play with my musical band.
but the problem for me is:
if I connect the iphone5 to a mixer, how can I prevent Voiceover to go out?
I absolutely don't want that people can listen to my voiceover!
is there a solution for this?

Hey EveryOne,
I was just messing with my VO/ Accessibility Settings, because My phone just stopped giving me haptic Feedback when I was interacting with my phone.
I have sounds switched to on but I was still not getting the Haptic Feedback so I went into Accessibility Settings and Vo Settings to see if I could fix it… I turned a couple of settings On/Off (But I Can’T Remember Which Ones Lol) And now after every letter/Word/ Tap and after interacting with any apps etc, VO now is saying ‘Frame’!!!!
Literally After Anything VO Speaks… I Get ‘Frame’!!!!

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

I noticed this morning when playing an audiobook that I synced to my iPod Touch 5th generation that a couple of unlabled buttons had appeared near the previous track and next track buttons. Also, no matter what speed I toggle the playback speed button to, VoiceOver says that the speed is set to normal even if it's not. The unlabeled buttons appear to go backward and forward a fiew seconds within the book, but I'm not sure what to label them. Also, has anyone else noticed the problem with the playback speed button?

I recently bought an ipad Air 4 (ios 14.4). Previously I used an ipad Air 3. The Air 4 has considerably more power so I was not expecting to run into serious new Voice Over problems. Problems are mostly with but not limited to safari. When loading pages from a site with a mixture of text, pictures and videos, VO will start to read the text ok but after a few lines will stop and Safari will completely lock up. After waiting about 20 seconds it will unlock but VO will be chopped up and unusable. I then give up and accept this web site is not accessible.
