Hey Ed, Thanks, that will be another option as I did see a bunch in there that I barely use. For now I am keeping it completely disabled as I imagine this is an issue that Apple will address in 7.0.1 I just spoke to a sighted friend on an iPhone 5 and he said his battery life is awful, so at least it is good to know it is not a voiceover specific problem so I imagine a fix will come out faster.
