hi, I have an iPhone 4s and the keypad is still on when you make a call voiceover is just lower. between pauses of the menues being spoken you just have to find the number on the keypad or wait till it's all done and push the number you want.
Atleast that's how I do it.

As soon as the main number starts ringing voice over reduces in volume and there seems to be no access to the number pad to make selections. I remember that in anser to a question about dialing extensions someone suggested using commas to cause a pause in the touch tones, but your more likely to know someone's extension than you are the numbers you need to select from a menu. My carriers customer service line involves a series of layered menus about six in total. The only way I can think of to get around this is to dial the main number, remember the number to select from the first menu, hang up ,add a comma and that digit to the original number, then redial to get access to the second menu,remember the number I need to make the selection, hang up, add a comma and this digit to the original number and redial etc six times, and even that assumes that the comma will put in the right length of pause to make the menu work. Am I missing something, is it really this painful? If it is I don't understand why it can't be rigged so that if you touch the touch screen within a certain interval of the phone ringing voice over raises in volume just to give you the keypad but shuts up again as soon as you stop touching it. What happens if you hit a number on a blue tooth keyboard while the phone is making a call? I would be grateful for any advice.

VDR and other apps have their own paging systems, so they will rarely if ever sync with what the text claims. Voices are still paid, though you can now use the HQ voices offered to VO users in iOS 7 for free.

I am reading Bookshare books with Voice Dream Reader. As VO moves through the text, it will announce page numbers. However, when I stop reading, and verify the stats on the app, it tells me I am on a different page than what VO announced. Why is this? Also, I am still confused as to whether you can add new voices for free now that the new Apple IOS updates are on, or do you still have to purchase new voices through the store?
