Dear, First of all, congrats with all the accessibility work Apple has done over the last few years. With this email I'd like to ask 2 really needed features on Ios related to VoiceOver. It should be nice that those will be passed along the responsible departments.
The features that I request are already implemented on Osx, so it shouldn't be a deal breaker to get those also work in Ios. Across the world, people usage more languages on a daily basis. Therefore wouldn't it be great to have more then one high quality voice. For example, I'm using Siri a lot to do some daily tasks. But reviewing a webpage or reading a book, I'll use my native language (Dutch). Unless I jailbreak my device, I'm not able to get the dutch high quality voice. I'm not a fan of jailbreaking my device, I really relay on it. The second feature I would like to suggest is that we can make some profiles like we know on Mountain Lion. When I read content in an other language, I need to slow down the speech rate. On Osx I've created some activity "read to me in English slow", so I can switch easily. >From what I've heard of other blind ios users, they also want such a feature >be implemented. On a side note, since the introduction of the nuance voices on Osx, there is a text-to-speech bug in some language for reading email addresses, url's and file with the file extension. This bug was also in ios4 and get fixed in ios5. Either in the upgrade from Lion to Mountain lion, the bug is still there. This is also reported to accessibl...@apple.com several times. We all hoping to see a fix in an upcoming update.
