Right, Holly, the two finger tap does silence VO, especially if you had done the two finger flick down then it acts like a pause button and if you don't do anything else with the screen, once you touch again with two fingers it continues reading where you stopped it. I just would not count on it working all the time to mute VO during a call, that is what the 3 finger double tap does so nothing will speak and interrupt your call. But, each function has its place and everyone uses VoiceOver differently based on preference, etc. Neither one is wrong or right.
Richard "The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying. There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." --Douglas Adams, from Life, The Universe and Everything, p.59 Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com *I'm not the card shark -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Holly Sent: Wednesday, December 9, 2020 3:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Silencing VO during calls Richard: Sometimes I will hear VO start announcing the minutes of a phone call. When I do a two finger single tap, it will stop speaking for the duration of my call. I don't know about changing screens. When I am reading an article and want VO to stop for some reason, I can do the tap and it will stop, then I can start it again with the same double finger single tap. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
