Re: Speaking Rate in VoiceOver

2021-05-11 Thread Kelly Hill 
Sometimes people with some usable vision  want to have some but not all things 
spoken.  In that case, speak screen and speak selection can be very useful.

RE: Speaking Rate in VoiceOver

2021-05-11 Thread Richard Turner 
I was thinking that may have gotten in your way, but obviously not.

Those settings are primarily for people who do not want VoiceOVer on all the 
time, but want to be able to have certain things read out loud.  If someone has 
low vision and can manage the short things, but when it comes to longer emails, 
or web sites, speak screen allows them to swipe down with two fingers from the 
Status Bar and it will read aloud.  Some people use this for Apple Books 
because once you get it started reading, you can lock the phone and it 
continues reading.  You cannot lock your phone while VoiceOver is reading an 
Apple book.

The speak highlights again is for someone not wanting to use VoiceOver all the 
time, but they can highlight text and there is a speak button they can press 
and have it read out to them.

Then there is the typing feedback setting.  Even if those others are off, if 
the typing feedback is on for characters or words, it will speak those as they 
are typed with or without VoiceOver being on.

The speaking rate here is supposed to just control the speech rate for these 
functions and should not affect VoiceOver.

You may also want to go into the VoiceOver settings and change the default 
speech rate and see if that helps at all.
I’ve never heard of the rotor being on speaking rate and nothing happening.
