RE: VO mispronunciation

2016-01-25 Thread Walter Ramage 
Hi.  No, it is the native apple app.  It is just the app name I seem to have
the problem with.  When I go into the app and where the word calander
appears, it reads it correctly.  If and when I use the app switcher, it
still gives me that weird title.  It is strange it does it on my iPhone 6
and also on the iPhone 5c.  It might be there is an incompatibility with
something else on the phone that I'm unaware of.  Walter.

Where do you encounter this? Is it on the native Calendar app or when you
come across the word calendar elsewhere? On my old iPhone 5S, my new 6S Plus
and on my wife's iPhone 6 the calendar app is announced and pronounced
correctly. If this is a third party Calendar app then Voiceover will read
whatever the developer put in the accessibility label.

Hi guys.  I have a curious problem, it in no way impacts on the function of
the phone but I don't understand why VO does what it does.

VO does not pronounce "calendar" properly.  When I do a character by
character check, the spelling is correct but VO does not say it correctly.
What I hear is; and this is phonetic is "toy=lhp calanderkapp.$ and this
makes no sense.  Does anybody know how to correct this, it isn't critical
but I'd rather change it if I could but first I need to know what causes the
problem.  Walter.

I just sent a text to my work phone which is on AT and another to
my personal phone which is on Consumer Cellular, from Outlook 2016 on my
Windows 10 computer, but I suspect this will work with other versions of
Windows.

I formatted the to field as iphonenum...@text.att.ent
<mailto:iphonenum...@text.att.ent>  and put text in the subject so Outlook
wouldn't flag it as not having a subject, then wrote some text in the body
of the Email and hit send.

Poof, I received the text message on my work iPhone.  Then, I did
the same with my personal phone.

 

Very slick if you don't want to go and grab your iPhone.

 

I suspect this works with any cell phone.
