Q: iPad Mail misspelled word

iPad with iOS 8 finds a misspelled word after a space is typed. A backspace causes it to give suggested correct spellings to a sighted user but VoiceOver says nothing nor is there a way to make it read the suggestions. Touching the screen works for sighted people but useless for the blind.

    I found it! When a word is misspelled in Mail after you type a space Voice Over says "Misspelled". Delete the space you just typed and a sound is herd indicating iPad has a suggested a correct spelling. Nothing is read. Be sure the Rotor in in Container Mode you will need to turn Quick Nav on to set the Rotor. Go the Status Bar with a VO+M. Move to the last item with a VO-right arrow (Battery Power). If you are in Container Mode with the Rotor a VO+down Arrow will focus and read the left most suggest word. Now VO-right arrow to hear the other suggestions. Don't left arrow past the first word or you loose it. Can you believe it!!
