Hi Arnold,
Most people have the opposite problem which means you can hear Voiceover just fine during a call when you use the headset and very poorly without when the call is on speakerphone. I don't think it will be hard to raise Voiceover volume when using the headset, keep in mind that the iPhone remembers volume settings with the headphone separately from those on speaker. First you should add volume to the rotor. Do this by going to "Settings", "General", "Accessibility", "Voiceover" and "Rotor Settings". Find volume and double tap it so it says "Selected", then exit the settings. Now when you are on a call to an automated system, wait until the call connects, then turn the rotor to Volume and do a single finger flick up several times until Voiceover volume is where you want it. Don't forget to turn the rotor back to Characters or Words so you don't accidently change the volume again, as long as you do that the volume should stay at the level you set. Let me know if you need help with the rotor, in order to move to different rotor settings you put 2 fingers on the screen maybe an inch or so apart and then make a turning motion like if you were grabbing the head of a screw and you were screwing it in. You can do this either clockwise or counter clockwise. Good luck, Sieghard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Arnold Schmidt Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 3:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: VoiceOver Volume During Phone Call I got my IPhone 5 last Sunday, and let us say, I know more about it than I did, but have a lot more to go. Thanks to Anna Dresner and Dean Martineau's book, this list, and other tutorials, I will learn it. My first question: When I call one of these automated services where I have to press a given number for a given result, VoiceOver volume drops off to almost nothing. It is better on the speaker phone than on the earbuds, where I barely can tell it is saying anything as I slide my finger around the screen, trying to find that number. I can hear it better when the automated system stops talking, but I then have very little time to do anything before it disconnects. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
