Re: Stopping VO From Unnecessary Chatting when Receiving a Phone Call

[Brad Snyder]

Just touched the screen anywhere, and this should move VoiceOver focus away from the elapsed time. For whatever reason, the elapsed time seems to be the default location for the voiceover focus. - Brad - On Feb 25, 2026, at 14:38, pdevasto0...@gmail.com wrote:  Hello all,   I know this has been asked before here, but can’t find any threads immediately. Is there someplace on screen that I can tap to quickly stop VO from reading out I guess it’s the elapsed time of a call? I’ve got my action button set to turn VO off, which does help, but then I have to remember to turn it back on to easily end the call when I’m done. Maybe there’s another better thing I can do?   Thanks for any suggestions, and sorry for the repeat question.   Pete De Vasto -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
