I don't know, but considering that it takes little effort to simply
change the focus of what Voice Over is speaking, it seems pointless to
have such a feature.

Would turning on the mute button during a call stop voice over from
interupting the phone call? If so, couldn't it, in future versions,
automatically switch to mute mode during a phone call?

Hi, as a general habit when I'm on a call, I automatically touch the
lower-left corner of the screen where the end button is. This way
there is no extra verbiage and this way I can quickly double-tap the
screen when I'm done talking. Yes, I know about 2-finger double-tap,
but since I already focus the end button to avoid Voice Over speaking,
it leaves it ready for me to hang up with one finger when I want to.

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.

I have seen this issue in my iPhone 4, and it happen with the
numbers, or
just using the keyboard. 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.

I am experiencing some strange volume issues on my iPhone 5 with VO as
well. VO is loud enough, but not all numbers are spoken when I find
them on the phone. Sometimes the numbers take a moment or two to be
spoken by VO and other times they are spoken as soon as I touch them.
I am also not hearing the touch tones when I press a number on the
phone, after the call connects and goes through. I recall hearing the
touch tones and the numbers being spoken all the time in iOS 5, but
I've had trouble with this since I've been using the iPhone 5 with iOS
6. I've had the new phone for about 9 days and am still getting used
to everything. I have used iOS 6 on an iPhone 4 and don't recall
having these issues. The issues don't happen all the time, but they do
happen often enough.

Wayne

Hi Robert,
I just send a reply to Apple Accessibility about Voiceover volume
during a
call. I reported this to them and they replied with some
suggestions, but
they only consisted of the explanation about how to make sure
speakerphone
mode is properly activated which means they thought somehow the phone
hadn't
switched to speakerphone and this is why I couldn't hear Voiceover. I
have
no problem with my phone switching to speakerphone when I take it away
from
my ear. I am not sure if you have your phone in a case, but make
sure you
try it without case as sometimes a case can cover the proximity sensor
and
that is what causes your phone to switch to speakerphone. I usually do
this:
I dial the number I want to call and after I double tap on call
I put
my
hand over the top part of the phone where the slot is in the glass for
the
earpiece. Once the phone on the other end starts ringing I remove
my hand
and now the proximity sensor should of course notice nothing is
covering
it
and switch to speakerphone.
However, I still have the volume issue. I have volume in my rotor
settings
and after a call connects I can turn up VO volume to 100% by
turning the
rotor to Volume and then flicking up until I get to 100%. Then I turn
down
the call volume to as low as it will go with the volume down
button, but
first of all the call volume does not seem to go lower than a certain
level
and Voiceover even at 100% can hardly be heard over the call volume.
You can of course work around this by using a headset, but I
definitely
suggest you write to Apple Accessibility and report this because it
seems
to
be one of those bugs which most iPhone 5 users and some iPhone 4S
and 4
users also don't seem to have.
I did a factory reset about 3 days after I updated to iOS 6
because of
a
few other issues and at first this seemed to be better, but after I
tried
to
place calls where I had to enter numbers, listen to menus etc. a few
times I
find it really isn't much better if at all. As far as I am
concerned this
is
one of the more inconvenient and serious bugs because one has to enter
numbers or listen to menus so often and of course I also can't put the
phone
in speakerphone and look up other information during a call such as
maybe
a
phone number, something in an email or another app.
It would be interesting to know how many people experience this
problem
and while it adds to list traffic, the traffic is down
significantly from
what it was so maybe everybody who reads this could test this and post
whether they can hear Voiceover comfortably during a call when the
phone
is
on speakerphone or not. Before the iOS 6 update this was no problem
for
me
on my 4S.

Subject: voiceover during a call
Often since I purchased my new 4s I can be in a call and I
cannot hear
voiceover at all if I need to tap another number in an automated
system
or
end the call. then out of no where I'll get a call and voiceover won't
shut
up.
Also, when in a call and I move the phone from my ear it is not
automatically switching to speaker like it did on my 3gs.
