I think what you heard about was the new VoiceOver Recognition which might be useful in isolated situations, but is currently mostly annoying. I turned it all off. You can enable it and add it in the rotor to toggl: on and off but I prefer it off for now. Here is what it says in settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, and VoiceOver Recognition:
VoiceOver Recognition Using on-device intelligence, your iPhone will automatically improve the accessibility of apps, images, and text. VoiceOver Recognition should not be relied upon in circumstances where you could be harmed or injured, in high-risk situations, for navigation, or for the diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition. Image Descriptions Off Your iPhone will speak descriptions of images in apps and on the web. Screen Recognition Off Your iPhone will automatically make apps more accessible by recognizing items on the screen. Text Recognition Off Your iPhone will speak descriptions of text found in images.

(It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert On Oct 5, 2020, at 10:01 PM, Donna Casteen <mermaid71...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Donald, I'm using an iPhone 7 & not experiencing the extra voiceover chatter. What people are describing; With certain voiceover voices, can't remember which ones, voiceover reads all punctuation, even though the settings is set to none. Selecting a different voiceover voice To use solves this problem. The other voiceover chatter problem can easily be solved by going to settings, accessibility, voiceover, audio & deselecting items that you do not want voiceover to speak or deselecting sounds that you do not want played for certain actions. And the very rare voiceover bug that I'm having & have read 2 other people with a similar voiceover problem. The word "send" is spoken before my wifi name in the status bar, before folder names & before each page of apps on my phone. At first this was very annoying. Now my ears mostly blocks out the unnecessary word. Unless there is a "must have" feature that you "really" need to use right now, I recommend that you not update until IOS 14.02 is released. I, as well as others, is experiencing a very bad lag in voiceover & reaction time when an item on the screen is touched or tapped. Some people are reporting bad battery drainage. Apple reported that the battery drain problem can be solved by erasing "all content in settings or resetting all settings, another words returning your device to manufacture Donna Sorry for the somewhat vague subject line. I tend to update IOS versions only after the update bugs and issues have been well discussed and evaluated. After IOS 14 was released, there was some discussion of what was called excessive voiceover chattering. Would someone please describe this more in detail, its likely cause, and what if anything can be done to either minimize it or eliminate it completely. Frankly, until I learn more about this, I'll stick with 13.7. Thanks. Don Roberts -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
