That is strange indeed. It would be interesting to know if others are having this issue on an iPad since it doesn't seem to be a problem on an iPhone and it is also working as it should on the iPod Touch Fifth Gen. Which iPad is it where you experience this? I assume you are on iOS 8.1? Also, did you check in other areas of the Settings app if the On/Off label is not read, either? For example, if you go to WiFi or Bluetooth, does it say if they are on or off? How about for example in Privacy/Microphone? Here you also have On/Off labels. Lastly, and this may not really make any difference, but an Apple Accessibility support person suggested it when I called about another issue and asked, you might want to check to see if Speak All Notifications is turned on under Voiceover settings and also maybe see if Speak Hints makes a difference. On my 5S neither one of them makes a difference and I rarely turn on Speak Hints, but it doesn't hurt to check. As a last resort you could always try a full reset especially if others with iPads don't have this problem.

I guess I will be writing to Apple accessibility on this one. I also tried changing languages, just in case there was something strange with the Alex voice. That also did not help.
