Thanks, Cara, I am not against knowing if a notification, text or email comes in during a call, but I'd rather check it after I am done with my call rather than having to ask the other person to hold on a moment until I shut up my phone because I can't hear what they are saying any more behind Voiceover. If I am so keen to check out immediately what just came in, let's do it manually, i.e. I can take my phone while I am chatting and bring up the notification centre to see what super important message just came in. As Cara said and I did as well, let's just ask Apple to make this an option, I am almost sure it can be done. If this were to become an option I bet that 8 or 9 out of 10 people eventually would turn off the automatic speaking. just saying and yes, I know you don't agree, David, you and one other person would just be those exceptions *smile*.

For what it's worth, I completely agree with Sieghard here. I think there should be a setting to turn off any automatic reading of VoiceOver or a gesture to do this. Perhaps this could be a rotor setting to make this available on demand. I see both sides of this issue. I understand we need to hear VO alert us of important incoming announcements while at the same time we need a way for VO to stay out of the way at times, as well. Thanks and have a great day y'all!

Just remember after the call is over to do the 3 finger double tap to turn speech back on. HTH ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!
