My VO does not read these correctly. Any idea why? I asked Apple but
meanwhile-- what is your experience? Thanks.

My experience with VoiceOver and tables is that VoiceOver does not read table headers correctly most of the time.I was successful in getting some simple tables to work, but anything at all complex didn't work. I was simply flicking right and left in the table to get it to work.

Can you explain what doesn't read correctly? I tried VO on iOS and it was
pretty decent. If I change my rotor to "rows" and swipe down, I hear the
row header before the data cell. When I swipe right across a row, I hear
the column header before the cell. It announces "Paris" as spanning 5
columns. It does not announce "Paris" as part of the column header when
swiping right.
