Nope, and the tech at Apple’s 6 didn’t either. It only is silent in the app you are in when you double tap. No big deal, if it is no longer there it is no longer there. I’ll just swipe up to close or not bother to close it, as Alex suggests, or swipe back to the left to see what else is open then go back. Goodbye verbosity and back scrubs in tune in radio.
I did learn a few things though about the phone learning my speech over time and about location tracking which I had never done before, and I’m not the only one who hits on the number 9 which I’ve just heard and had it enter another number instead. Now I have to pay closer attention to when vo cuts out and what specifically I am trying to do or move to when that happens. Now it’s time to go transfer some files into Drop Box.

Now though I really wish it would tell me what app I’m in when I hit the app switcher even though I’m not brain fogged enough not to know! I like the verbal verification. Now I see the scrub gesture does not work in Tune-In Radio. It worked on the 4S just fine and with the same version of iOS. I am very unhappy right now. I need the phone to save me time and effort by not having to do any more gestures than necessary. I am going to plug Apple’s Accessibility number into my phone now and call them. Today I tried to get directions to where I was going for the person who was taking me. I dictated the address and knew it knew my location, and gave it clearance to access all that, but it kept trying to take me to Fitchberg, not to a place less than a mile away. I need to learn which app works best for this sort of thing cause I’m not sure what the default gps is. Google Maps? One area in which I need to get up to speed is with how to clear all that stuff Siri brings up. It seemed I used to just go to a different app and she didn’t always have to open an app to get info. Now I can’t get out of there easily and vo often stops working after I’ve used Siri. Oh, one last thing. When I dictate or even manually input in a name for a contact, if the pronunciation is really off, what is the best way to change it? Should I spell it out phonetically so I hear it the way I want to hear it or is there a better way. Once I heard Siri say “can you teach me to say that” but it seemed to be a rhetorical question and not a specific function she could perform. I’m not talking about asking her to create a contact because she can’t do that. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
