Hello Kevin, This happens to me, also.
The other day, I was trying to locate a friend of mine in my contacts, whose name is Al Jones. I couldn’t find him until I realized that VoiceOver was pronouncing his name as Alabama Jones. I felt so stupid and then got a little miffed at VoiceOver for trying to do too much. I wonder if there is a workaround for this?

Hi. I was in the NFL Mobile app on my iPhone 5C running the latest iOs. I wanted to hear the game between Arizona and Green Bay. I got there, and was selecting the feed I wanted. The app gives you updates about who has the ball, and where it is on the field. They use abbreviations for the teams. GB was used for Green Bay. I was navigating through the info on the screen, and was surprised to hear the ball was on the gigabytes 25. I know whoever is programming VoiceOver to give information means well, but I wish they’d just let abbreviations say their letters. VoiceOver isn’t the only one who does this. I never knew, for example about Hartford, Court, or my Physician was Drive Johnson. Oh well, it is humorous in a way, but there is sometimes too much of a good thing. Just thought I’d share this observation. Have a good day, and don’t work too hard. Kevin Minor, Lexington, KY -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
