yep I can confirm it, I've brought this up before. drives me nuts when
I'm in a call walking around and the f ing voiceover talks the time
every 3 seconds and I can't hit the lock button or move the cursor away
from the timer.

David,
I have enough troubleshooting experience to have done the below as you
describe. And, VO still ends up on the time. I am not being highly
critical of Apple nor the phone, just stating an observation that I have
duplicated many times as have several others I know who are equally
careful. This has been true both in 5.1.1 and 6.0 with my 4S.
Regards,

Yes, but the factor may be the person brushing the phone so lightly that they
don't notice it after double-tapping the call button. I have done this and it
will place the focus where the body part brushes the phone. All it takes is the
merest contact. The touch-screen is not pressure sensitive, it is contact
sensitive. Now, if you ensure that VO is not highlighting the call timer, close
the phone app, have your headset connected, use the button on the headset chord
to activate Siri, and voice-dial a number / contact, you will have eliminated
all possibilities of touching the screen inadvertently. If VO starts reading
the call timer then, you have definitely found a bug. VO remains on the field
it was last on when the call screen pops up. Using the above method, I have
never been able to cause the troubling behaviour.

While I know the below happens, I have seen the same thing occur with an
earpiece on, phone lying on the table with nothing near it. So, I
believe there is something going on here that is not always a human factor.

Hi, also for what it's worth, I don't feel this is a bug like I've seen
others say it is. If there is any sort of bug it's that if Voice Over is
automatically placing focus on the timer, then yes, that needs to be
addressed, however I would venture a guess, coming from a training point
of view, that more often than not, it's the person who accidentally
touches the timer. A good way it's been done, and it's happened to me is
when I was putting the phone next to my ear, my lobe touched the screen
in just the right place. I guess I have really big ears. Sure enough,
the timer started telling me all the length of the call. A simple touch
to somewhere else solved that problem.

VO reads whatever is in the area you've highlighted with a touch. If
it starts reading the call timer and did not do so before, this is
because you touched, no matter how lightly, the call timer. Take the
iPhone away from your ear to activate the touch-screen and move VO to
another field either by touching a different area on the screen, or
using a right or left flick. If you have headphones on, the
touch-screen always remains active.
To silence VO, you can either do a three-finger double-tap to mute
speech, or you can use a triple-tap of the home button to unload VO.
Just remember to use the same gesture when you are finished with your
call to get VO talking again.

Hello,
I had the experience yesterday of making a couple of calls some with
the wired headset and some without.
In both cases, VO started talking in the middle ofthe call.
It would say screen dimmed and phone locked, and on one of hte calls I
made with the headset, it kept reading the time every few seconds.
Obviously this makes it very hard to hear the person on the other end
of the call.
Any tips on how to get VO to stop talking while I am on a call would
be appreciated.
