I can confirm that in the bottom left corner of the native Podcasts app screen 
while an episode is playing is a playback speed button which VoiceOver speaks. 
Double tapping while focus is on this button will cycle from 1X to 1.5X to 2X 
to -.5X, and back to 1X. In the bottom right corner of this screen is the sleep 
timer button.

Thank you again.

You at least pointed out that it is possible. And now I can confirm that it is 
possible to change speed from 1 and half to double or to half using voiceover. 
For those who may be interested, at the bottom just before the very last line 
that has Unplayed, my podcast etc. menu, you will find text that sounds like 
Mini-player Playback progress one minute, thirty seconds of forty-six minutes, 
forty-eight seconds 
If you double tap here the now playing screen will open and the speed can be 
adjusted here.

 

Hope it helps somone. I still downcast more. Moreover I have paid for it so I 
will have to believe it is better than the free native
 App. 

 

Best regards

Hi Prakash,

 

I don't believe that the reading speed options are currently compatiable with 
Voiceover.  I have low vision and use a combination of voiceover and 
magnification.

To change the reading speed on the podcast app, what I do is first locate the 
play/ pause button at the bottom of the home screen of the Podcasts app.

If you flick on  the actual play pause button, it will move to a new screen 
which has the current podcast which is being played.

This second screen has an option for the reading speed which can be adjusted up 
or down from 1/2 to 2 times the regular reading speed by tapping on it until 
you reach the desired speed. Sorry that I am not more help with this issue.

 

Regards, Michelle
