[Electronics-talk] iOS 8 Problems

[Christine Szostak]

HI,
  It is a new setting that was introduced in IOS 8.0 that I believe is 
specific to VO and can be added to the rotor. It allows you to decide 
whether the sounds playing (e.g., music, audio...) should be quieted down 
when the VO voice is speaking so that you can better hear that speech. It 
does not properly work if you  change it so it does not duck the audio in 
KNFBReader, at least in my experience and I think there are still some other 
bugs with it.
Have a nice rest of the day!
Chris
