No offense, Christopher, but before "guessing" next time just open the app and try it and then you would have noticed it has no effect. When I played around with it I had at one point typed in about 4 or 5 digits and then turned Voiceover off and did a swipe right to left to see if that works and when I restarted Voiceover the last digit was indeed gone. I then tried a double tap and hold followed by a swipe without lifting and that worked, but then later after I cleared the field and started over it again didn't work. It was almost as if it worked after you did a swipe once without Voiceover, but if you cleared the field and started over it would not work again. I did not turn Voiceover off a second time to see if this was consistent. I do agree, however, that we should all write to Apple Accessibility and ask that they get this to work, as far as I am concerned either a 3-finger swipe would be OK or a double tap and hold followed by a swipe would also be OK just along as there is a gesture that can be used with Voiceover as it is handy if one correct a mistake without having to clear everything and start over.

That does nothing. I think writing Apple Accessibility and asking that this be fixed is the only thing left, other than switching to the free calculator app I sent a link to in a previous message.
