As far as I know, the dictate button hasn't been discontinued. I have it in my IOS7. I use it, too, and like it. Quite an admission for someone who normal hates dictating, but it's growing on me. :) Teresa "We're made of star stuff."--Carl Sagan On Oct 20, 2013, at 9:49 AM, Chris Chaffin wrot

Hi, So your saying, if for example, on your 4S, if you are listening to music and lower the volume, Voiceover volume isn’t lowered at the same time? So then, you would eventually reach a state where your music volume was lowered all the way but, Voiceover volume is still the same? I honestly

I haven't tested the app much. I'll say this though: if the app speaks a result and it flashes on the display, you cna toggle a history of such announcements with space-n. That might allow you to review the results, but again I'm not sure. On Oct 20, 2013, at 9:40 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: >

Hi Ricardo, Normally it is not standard behavior that Voiceover volume is connected to the volume of music or an audio book that is playing. On my 4S I don't think I had this issue so I think it's less of an iOS 7 issue than a 5S issue. Anyways, consider this: I am playing an Audible book and I h

Hi Ron, I also can't raise the Voiceover volume above 35% using the volume rotor, but this does not seem to apply to the volume buttons. If you get Voiceover to read continuously and then press the volume up button it goes really loud. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [ma
