Hi Alan,
This is definitely a good way to get rid of Voiceover temporarily and retain the gestures, but it won't fix the issue the original poster asked about which was to stop the phone call automatically switching to speakerphone. Because a 3-finger double tap doesn't actually unload Voiceover, speakerphone behavior is still the same meaning if you take your phone away from your ear the proximity sensor will detect this and put the call on speaker. For a sighted person this is not standard behavior, if you take your phone away from your ear he call remains on the earpiece until you tap the Speakerphone button which of course is not possible for a blind person without Voiceover. I actually think it would be nice if Apple allows Voiceover users to toggle automatic switching to speakerphone on or off because not everybody wants the call to go to speaker automatically.

I don't like voice-over talking wile I'm on a call. So, if I'm receiving a call, I'll use a 2 finger double tap to answer the call and then a 3 finger double tap to toggle speech off. The only thing you have to remember is to do the 3 finger double tap again to toggle speech back on and of course, the 2 finger double tap is also a toggle meaning you can use it to hang up as well as to answer the call. I will do the 2 finger double tap to answer the phone and before I put the phone to my ear, I've already done the 3 finger double tap to turn off speech. It's as easy as can be and can be done quickly no muss, no fuss, and your done. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eileens Misrahi <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 17, 2013 9:04 PM Subject: Re: any way to close speaker while calling Hi Sieghard, I will try these suggestions when I have a few minutes later on this evening. I have noticed that VO will speak when I'm on a call and it's most annoying. Now, I have a method on how to turn VO off during a call. Thanks.
