I have no idea which ios is running. still,
some information must exist indicating the last
time the enhanced voices were changed.
I can certainly upgrade the IOS, apple support
gave no indication that this phone was not supported any longer.
Still, rather than doing more randomness leading
nowhere, I wanted a direction for further testing in mind.
Siri is going though if it can be removed.

That depends on what 5 it is? If it is just a 5
than I think the latest OS is IOS 10 and the 5s
is up to IOS 12. I think the SE can still be
updated too 13. I actually find the standard
voices better then the enhanced voices on all
of the IOS versions and I think I entered the iPhone family with IOS 7.
But like ET said, it might be time to upgrade
your phone, but this isn’t always affordable for some people.

and a side siri one as well?
Will ask the siri one first..can it be removed once installed?
The voiceover voice question has to do with sound quality.
I finally found a discussion thread about this
with others noting the same thing. Daniel who
I believe is the UK English voice changed in
its enhanced form a while back. I do not know
if it has been improved, or better
still when was the last upgrade to the Daniel voice?
I have an iPhone in the 5 family. it is
possible that upgrading IOS itself, or the
voice, if I can, will improve things.
for now though the quality clarity and pronunciation is rather dreadful.
I did not want siri, but apple accessibility,
who was talking with the person helping me
use the phone suggested the download because
voiceover itself was not working well according to them.
Siri, which was male in this case, sounded
worse than the Daniel voice itself.
I believe? Nuance makes the apple voices. Is
there any way to reach them directly?
last of all, I understand there are
other options for voices, with my wondering
about direct contacts too, as I will have to
walk someone else through reaching them.
My situation is that since most software
generated speech is in a frequency range that
stimulates my brain's dizzy centres,
experimenting can make me rather sick. That
is what happened when trying to resolve the Daniel / male siri situation.
meaning I really want to plan ahead before testing anything further.
ideas?
