Wow!
Well I’ll be. Thanks for that. But, this makes absolutely no sense to me. On
what planet is being able to read the preview of mail a hint? I think having
to make Voiceover so universally verbose just to hear the preview is annoying
at best, unbareable at worse. :(.

Well, you only hear the hints after a bit of a pause, so I find it
doesn't bother me as far as overall VoiceOver verbosity is concerned.
I also find it analogous to those apps that use the number of items
bubble to let you know things like what temperature it is.
Who knows, maybe we'll get
Hi,
Maybe so. haha. I still think “hints” is a bit misleading. I just turned
hints on and, its not just telling me what things do, its giving me access to
information I had no idea even existed. For example, with hints off, the
weather widget in notifications center tells you the current
You must turn voice over hints on for this feature to work. It was added in iOS
five.

Hi Ricardo, Yes, I agree, but you do know that you can have hints as a setting
in your rotor, do you?
this way you can easily turn hints on or off.
I do agree though.

Not true, Ihave VO hints off and if there is a single message, VO reads my 5
preview lines.

David Chittenden,
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who replied. Want to know something really weird,
though? KK, so I already have my hints turned on, and I tried to
swipe backwards, but it still didn't read my preview. I saw on my
iPad mini, running the latest software, that it reads my previews of
my emails

open that message or just flick down to delete and then double tap. I really
do like that feature. I can deal with quite a bit of email in a
Hi,
I’m definitely not seeing this behavior on my iPhone 5. I turn hints on, and
the preview lines are read. Turn hints off and the preview lines are no longer
read by Voiceover in Mail.

Yeah, I tested this myself before I posted my results yesterday. If I
turned hints off, I didn't hear any previews, if I turned them on then I
did. I hear them whether swiping left or right, and I hear them for
single messages or threads. This is on my iPhone 4S with the latest IOS.

Hello all,
You guys know when you are browsing the messages/emails in your iPhone mail
app, voiceover, reads like, unread, sender name, subject, and the preview of
the email before you actually open to view it? For example,
Unread, kaur.ni...@gmail.com, test message, this is a test message
Hi,
Since the first version of the iPhone came out in 2009 that supported
Voiceover, I don’t remember Voiceover ever reading the preview in mail. Just
sender subject and date/time. I remember actually writing Apple accessibility
a long time ago asking for this feature.
Ricardo Walker
I have the iPhone 5. I do get the first 5 lines of the email read
automatically. If you go to settings, mail, contacts, calendars, and swipe
down, you will find an option that says preview X lines button. Five lines is
the maximum.

Hi,
On my iPhone 4S, I have noticed that if I start from the bottom and
swipe left to read the previous email, VO will read the preview. But
starting from the top and swiping right through the emails will not read
the preview.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Nimit
Being it sounds as though you have checked your mail preview settings, my only
other suggestion would be for you to try turning your phone off and back on to
reset the phone. I have my mail set to read 5 preview lines. If there are more
than 1 thread in a message voiceover will not
You also need to go into Settings - General - Accessibility -
VoiceOver and make sure hints is turned on. Remember too that you have
to wait a beat or two to hear the preview.
I get the preview read whether I move forwards or backwards in my in
box. I also get a preview read if I have
16 matches
