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

[Jaxi]

Peter-

just a thought...

on both of my iphones voice /speech will stop seemingly randomly.   Sometimes serie even will tell me voice over is on. 

In that case the toggle of

Three finger double tap turns speech again.  

HTH

It's a dog's life and I wouldn't change it for anything!

Eh, Peter, I've had the same issue.
I usually just hold down the Home button to activate Siri.  Sometimes I'll tell her to turn voice over on, or I'll just keep quiet.  Either way the voice will start talking again.

I know not why this is happening.  Probably a bug in the latest IOS.

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.

This may be another possible reason for losing speech when certain apps are opened. Any suggestions will be helpful.
