hi.
Mac OS 14 beta 2 is, well, interesting.
why? because of this bug.
When I tried to use voice over image descriptions, I got this alert.
Alert β€œVoiceOver" is using a deprecated API that will be removed in the future. Please contact the developer for an updated version.
I will report this.
Just letting you guys know.
If you find anything else, please let us know.
P.S., the iOS 17 beta 2 eloquence dictionary and phrase prediction are also on Mac OS 14 now too.
Can't wait to see what the feature for Mac OS 14 and iOS 17 will have in store for us VO users.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

Hi, I haven't updated my MacBook to Sonoma beta 2 yet, but I did on iOS.
Maybe I'm just really out of the loop, but can someone please tell me what eloquence phrase prediction actually is? I've had eloquence for years, it's not my preferred tts, but I am curious o this feature. Thanks
