Dave,
I spoke to soon. Sorry about that. We aren't getting VoiceOver to read back the typed chars either.

We've got a bug which has been annoying our VoiceOver-using customers since the app launched: keyboard input makes the "stop" bonk sound, like when you swipe left/right at the beginning/end of a list. It also doesn't announce the typed letter in a higher, softer voice like it does on OS text input controls.

If I don't return anything from accessibilityElementCount/accessibilityElementAtIndex:, it doesn't make the bonk and it also doesn't announce the letter. If I post an announcement in insertText: it still bonks, doesn't voice the announcement. If I have a breakpoint in insertText: and pause for more than a very brief moment, it doesn't make the bonk sound (and doesn't read out the letter). The bonk happens before we're posting a layout changed notification in response to the text update. There's just not much going on in our code when this happens.
