Hi Pablo, There is an easy fix for Voiceover announcing the call duration when you are on a call. Just take your phone and flick once to the right, all you have to do is move Voiceover focus away from the call duration and it will stop announcing it.
You should also write to accessibil...@apple.com because they really need to fix this. I wrote to them regarding that and was told this is the expected behavior, e.g. Voiceover announces the call duration as it changes. However, I don't think this should be the way it behaves, it would be like saying Voiceover continuously reads out the elapsed time or time remaining when a song is playing and it doesn't do that either.

Some times it doesn't say the letter or number, so I need to delete something, to make sure that I wrote, or if I need to retype a number or word. But the worse part is every time when I receive a called, voice over keep saying the duration of the called, and It doesn't allow me to talk, because I have voice over talking so loud and I can't understand what the person on the call is saying.
