RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.
This happens on my PC when using Teams. I assume that Teams is trying to keep sound from the meeting from going back out over the air. This is nice since I don't have to worry about my screen reader coming through when I'm on a call through Teams, but my voice does break up if I'm talking when my screen reader kicks in. this happens whether I have head phones on or not. I'm not sure if Apple is trying to do the same thing to keep voiceOver from bleeding over onto a call. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Monday, May 3, 2021 11:10 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

As long as I am somewhere where having the call on speakerphone doesn't bother anybody it is not difficult to just take the phone away from your ear which causes the call to go to speakerphone (as long as you haven't disabled this feature). Then just swipe up from the bottom just like you would when you want to go from any app back to the home page, you can then open the Messages app or Contacts or any other app and do whatever you want to do while you are talking to the other person on speakerphone. I have never had anybody ask me what I am doing which means the microphone does not seem to pick up Voiceover, but if you find it distracting to have both the caller and Voiceover on speaker you can of course use a headset except then you have both the caller and Voiceover on the headset which to me is no different than having both on the external speaker. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 1:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.
The reason for wanting this is I have a friend with a stage 4 brain tumor, and she keeps calling me for our friends' numbers. Now that I know I can go into Contacts, that will be good. Right now, she has a pretty hale and hearty voice, only she talks so fast and has such a strong Massachusetts accent that we all have a hard time understanding her. Anyway, that will make it easier for her, me not having to call her back. Thanks for the help, guys. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Lisa Belville Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 4:29 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.

RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.
I'm not big about call on speaker, but I am big on earbuds. I have three pair of Apple ones - in computer desk, by living room chair, and in purse. I'm way more likely to leave home without my American Express card than my earbuds. Probably most of you don't remember the AMEX commercial - don't leave home without it! -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 3:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Performing tasks on iPhone, while taking part in a phone call.
