Hi Max and Ed,
Katey gave you the correct advice. The current behavior is that if you touch the text field your cursor position is moved to wherever it is you are touching. I observed this behavior even before iOS 7 when typing a chat message in Skype where it would do the same thing. This takes some getting used to and I can't decide yet if there is an advantage to this, but I think there might be. The point is that before if you, for example, wrote a long email and you wanted to make a correction or insert/delete some text in the middle, you had to get there by setting the rotor to lines or words and then swiping down until you got there. Then you could make a correction, insert or delete something, but if you switched out of there and wanted to go back you had to do this all over again. I think this way you could actually find your place in the text by dragging your finger around, I have to test this out some more because it could simply be a bug which needs to be fixed. Anyhow, the answer is as Katey said to touch something outside the text field and to then swipe into it from the left or the right in which case Voiceover will read the entire text.

Then it will read the entire tesxt message. HTH Katey Sent from my iPad On Sep 23, 2013, at 10:41 PM, Ed Allen <[email protected]> wrote: My experience is the same.
