I plan on sending feedback to Apple on that, but let me first ask you for further improvements or points to consider, if any.
So as we know and I and others have been posting about, we have this new feature called Live Speech that requires tripple-pressing either the home or side button depending on the model. One problem this causes is that Live Speech inevitably gets listed as an option if you also have VoiceOver assigned to the accessibility shortcut. So using Live Speech and turning off VoiceOver is still possible, but turning on VoiceOver is not that convenient when you have multiple options and a dialog prompting you to pick one with VoiceOver turned off. So I am thinking of requesting Apple to have VoiceOver enabled temporarily when one tripple-presses the home or side button and if VoiceOver is selected as one of multiple options to show up, regardless of whether Live Speech is enabled or not. Screen curtain has to be left disabled in that case if normally enabled, because it might be someone sighted and unfamiliar with VoiceOver activating the accessibility shortcut. I also plan on suggesting that users be able to use Live Speech without having to have it show up when they tripple-press the home or side button. Also, we should also be able to assign Live Speech to a VoiceOver gesture.

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.
