Hello Ann, I am replying to you, on-list.
I am a long time user and fan of Google Voice. Be that as it may, I have not used the iOS app in many years choosing instead to use my Windows PC via Internet Explorer. What I can tell you is that, currently, even for those of us with some residual vision, generally speaking, Google Voice is a mess. Without getting into the histrionics, Google Voice is slowly being phased out as we know it, in favor of hardware solutions such as Android devices and software alternatives such as Google Hangouts. This may sound crazy but, when one browses to Voice.google.com, one cannot call a new number but only a number that has been dialed before. This is from the official Google help page. Is that not crazy? Of course, there are several workarounds the easiest being to bring up Legacy mode. Doing this will bring up a browser window that present Google Voice in the classic view that we have all come to know and love. Again, I have not tested the official Google app on iOS in some years but find it difficult to believe that it is not VoiceOver accessible; however, I'll take your word for it. Bottom line, at present, I prefer using Google voice on my Samsung Galaxy S6 where the interface is seamless. When that is not convenient, I simply browse to voice.google.com and from the site's menu option, select Legacy Mode. While I realize that I have not provided any answers, I hope you will feel better to learn that everyone, sighted and blind, alike, are struggling with Google Voice as Google forces the service into a new format.

The app isn’t VO accessible, but from the pc, was wondering if anyone has success with it and screen readers. We are trying to set up an account but can’t get it to work either incoming our outgoing calls. Very confusing. Contact me at anniecm...@gmail.com if you have suggestions or if you know of any scripts being written for it. Best, Annie C. Ann M. Chiappetta M.S.
