Hi Tim and Dave.
I never mentioned a 3 finger triple tap. I didn't know of it's excistance.
What I meant to say is that I used to press the home button 3 times rapidly to
disarm voice over and 4 times to turn it back on.
This allowed my sighted wife to help me create a new contact for example.
I'm not sure how by simply turning the volume of voice over up or down would be
of help in any circumstances and would still burden the sighted person by it's
interference.
Incidentally, time mentioned Serie for turning voice over off and on.
Do you mean that I'd press the home button for a few seconds, until I hear a
tone then say something like "Serie, turn voice over on" or whatever.
Thanks guys for any assistance.
Very best wishes,
Andy Logue.

Hi,
Actually, a three-finger double-tap does not toggle VoiceOver on and off.
The three-finger double-tap toggles on/off VoiceOver speech, but VoiceOver
gesture navigation remains on. This would be problematic for a sighted user as
their normal gestures would not work as expected. Therefore, you could confirm
that the Accessibility shortcut is still set correctly as Doug suggested, or
you could use Siri to turn VO on and off.

Hi all.
I used to press the home button, on my iphone, three times to quickly
turn voice over off or on again, when handing my phone to a sighted user when
they were helping me.
This no longer seems to work so I've got to go the long way around by
going into settings, accessability and then voice over.
Can anyone tell me of a quick way of doing this, theses days.
Very best wishes.
Andy Logue.
