Chris, as far as I know, the mute switch doesn't mute voiceover.

Just a thought but could you not flick the mute switch? Not tried this
myself but would have thought this would mute VoiceOver giving you unwanted
alerts.

Are you wanting some sort of gesture to let voiceover know that you
need it during the call or should this be a siri feature?

HiChuck,
Of course I want Voiceover to announce who is calling, but as soon as
I answer the call I'd like it to shut up. Turning off speech is a
work-around and it's OK as far as it goes, but as I said, if I am out
and about I either have my Bluetooth earpieceor the Apple Earpods
hanging around my neck and I answer calls that way without ever
touching the phone and if it's tucked away then having to turn off
speech is not convenient. There are of course also those cases where I
need speech to be on because maybe I need to look up a phone number
while I am on a call or check something else. As I said, I am fully
aware of the work-arounds, but just because I found an often
inconvenient fix for a problem doesn't mean it's a solution and that the
problem should not be addressed.
I also can say for sure that from the responses I read in previous
discussions there are way more people who like Tess, Donna, myself and
others feel this is an annoying issue as opposed to the few who said
they like it the way it is. I think it's OK to hear whatever sound an
incoming email, text or push notification makes and if I am really so
desperate to know while I am still talking on the phone who emailed or
texted me, then I can open mail, messages or the notification centre
and check. Otherwise I can concentrate on who I am talking to and once
I am done I can check what happened while I was on the phone.
Regards,
Sieghard

Personally I like voice over announcing the caller ID information
before I answer a call. Then I do a three finger double tap to silence
voice over and then a two finger double tap to answer the call. Its no big
deal for me.

Hello Tessa, Donna, Jodie, Andy and others,
This is one of the most annoying characteristics of Voiceover and I
hope that all of you who dislike this as much as me write to
accessibil...@apple.com to request that in some future update
Voiceover
is just silenced when a call is active. Andy's suggestion to
turn off push notifications to me is something I should not have to
do, I have an iPhone and use apps which have push notifications
because that is what I want and having to turn off all push
notifications just so my phone calls aren't interrupted is equivalent
to saying you have to turn off WiFi, Bluetooth, Push email and
location services just so I can get better battery life. I don't need
a fancy smartphone if I have to disable half its features to stop it
from
doing one annoying thing.
This discussion has come up before and I know some people have argued
in favour of all of this chatter happening although I really don't
know why somebody would want their phone to start reading a text
message, an email or a news headline while one is on a phone call.
When this happens to me I sometimes have to ask the other party to
hold on for a moment until Voiceover shuts up or I can shut it up
because
I can't hear them any more.
The iPhone is after all also a cell phone and while some people may
use it more for other stuff than actual calling, for me it is my only
personal line and I also use it for my business so I do receive and
make a lot of calls and I really hope that maybe in iOS 7 Apple has
done
something about this.
In my opinion Voiceover should just be quiet during a call, but I
guess it would be OK if at least there was a setting where one could
enable this and that way those who like to hear all of this stuff
while they are on the phone can continue to do so. The same goes for
Voiceover constantly announcing the call duration, also annoying and
completely unnecessary, if I want to check how long I have been on
the phone I can easily touch the screen and check and I don't have to
hear it every 20 or 30 seconds. I understand that I can turn speech
off with a 3-finger double tap and I sometimes do that, but it's a
major pain in the winter when my iPhone is in my pocket or belt clip
under a
heavy coat and I am wearing gloves.
Regards,
Sieghard

You can go into Settings, Notifications, and shut off the push
notifications
that bother you. That's what I have done.

Yeah, I know whatcha mean, receive no alerts, get an important phone
call and the alerts come in numbers!!
I use the 3 finger double tap to turn off voiceover. For me this is
faster and less interruptive when in a call.

Hi<
How do I stop an alert from speaking when I'm taking a phone call.
For example when one of my facebook friends posts something the
phone lets me know but it often happens when I'm in a call and I
can't seem to turn it off without turning off the alert feature,
unless I'm missing something which is entirely possible. I know when
my clock chimes hitting the volume button stops the sound, but it
doesn't do much for facebook and alerts like that.
Any suggestions.
Thanks all
Tessa
