to all,
as the people at apple store and few officials for apple headquarters, they
keep telling me that it is very important for al of you to notify apple
accessibility team as team would give note to the engineers and developers who
would follow your needs.
I have given some suggestions for braille users, and also there are other
things. plese don't hold back to yourself. open up and speak out to apple
yourself. they need your help.
it would be very helpful if yo share your views and your thoughts. it would be
easier.
remember the quote: you can see me but I can't see you...I can see you but you
can't see me.
same idea, apple officials don't know what you know and you don't know what
they know. so please be more helpful.
respectfully,
rich

I wrote Apple Accessibility about this earlier today. I'd suggest everyone who
would like VoiceOver to stop guessing at abbreviations would write them as well
and ask them to either stop it completely or provide an exception dictionary
that we can use to fix pronunciations.

Looking at baseball, AL for American League, gets pronounced Alabama.
Cal as a first name gets pronounced California and so on.

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?
(smile)

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
