Hi,
I don't get it, either. By any chance, Sarah, have you got, just like me, punctuation off? I'm thinking it might be a punctuation thing.

So you are not hearing all kinds of table mark up where it doesn't need to be? Maybe it depends on the email. I get a substantial number of emails where they have used table for formatting purposes, not for data. And I'm always getting these readouts of row and column numbers. And then on the web we have Reading of them things like landmark article, end of article. And other HTML markup that you don't need to hear, since you can't act on it. At the very least, it should be something you could turn off in the verbosity area of voiceover. But you can't turn it off.

Actually for me there is no markdown mess, or mark up mess when I read emails, they come out beautiful and html renders correctly.

Take care.

Wow! That is really disappointing. I can't believe they would make a feature for the very few amongst us who have a mixer, but they can't be bothered cleaning up the mess they made with all that extra HTML markup that shows up in mail messages and on the web and makes reading a pain in the butt. Talk about strange priorities. I have sent a note to excess ability, and if I get anything more explanatory on this voiceover routing feature, I will certainly pass it on.

I believe this only works if you have a mixer, or so I've ben told. I herd it doesn't work the way we thought, but I'm not yet sure. I'd love to learn how this works as well.

I just got my fourth generation Apple TV upgraded to the latest version of tvOS. It has that new feature where you were supposed to be able to send the audio from VoiceOver to somewhere other than where the audio from the Apple TV program goes. This feature is absolutely not working here. I paired the Apple TV with a Bluetooth speaker. Everything goes there. VoiceOver goes there. Apple TV programming goes there instead of to our sound bar. There is no way to split it off, so that the audio from VoiceOver stays on the Bluetooth, but the audio from the TV goes back to the sound bar. In that audio routing thing in the voiceover area, if the Bluetooth speaker is paired, it is the only setting. You can set voiceover anywhere else. And with that sent there, if you go into the audio video and try to send audio back to the television, everything goes there. And then the Bluetooth connection is lost for voiceover. If there are instructions on some specific order of how you have to do this, I would certainly love it. I have been looking forward to this feature for months, because my AppleTV voiceover is basically unusable when sent through our sound bar, because so much of VoiceOver gets cut off. It goes great through the Bluetooth speaker. But we don't want program audio going there too.
