[Electronics-Talk] Losing Speech When Certain iPhone Apps are Opened

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

     We upgraded our iPhones last Friday and the Voiceover voices 
remained the same following the upgrade. What we are having difficulty 
with is getting Voiceover back when certain apps are opened without 
having to shut down and restart the device in the hopes it will work 
with the app in question. I'll need to have a sighted person observe 
this app's load-up when it is opened. It may be that it's taking a 
minute for the app to completely load temporarily knocking out Voiceover 
until the loading is complete. If any of you have had this problem I'd 
like to hear how to deal with it.

     By the way how does one activate the app switcher. By doing so we 
could see how many apps are running and perhaps can shut some down 
giving the device more free memory to work with. This may be another 
possible reason for losing speech when certain apps are opened. Any 
suggestions will be helpful.
