Hey Tim, Bad luck, If you could fly in to NZ then you’d automatically go into 14 days isolation which means Petrus has time to hide or hunt you down before you got to him.
Yeah I’m in the high risk status also as a type 1 diabetic and asthmatic But I’m not going to be able to stay hidden away for four weeks so I have to get out and go for a walk each day, There are still people out and about both on foot / exercising and also driving around in all types of vehicles. I’m blown away by how something so small and crazy can stop the world functioning in a normal state. I don’t believe the 1918 spanish flu caused this much trouble to the worlds population at the time. Everyonee take care and keep your hands to yourself, so you can’tcatch unwanted buggs.

Hi, If Petrus wasn't so far away, I might have to linch him ;). Couldn't fly down there right now either, so I guess you're in the clear Petrus. Hope all is well down there for you. My wife is in the high-risk category, and my daughter just made it back from the UK early Sunday morning, so we're in self-isolation mode at our place. I'm a geek, so working from home is not an issue for me. I've also spent hours making our systems remotely accessible to me. Later...

Depending on how long this takes. How about you, are you able to work from home?

Well some of the people on this list might want to Lynch me if I suggest this, but have you looked at Android phones as well? They might have some voices that might be easier on the ear. I haven’t got one myself but I think there are more voices available for them.

I know about the adapters, but as established, until I know the device is safe for use voice wise, accessories are the least of my focus.

Not sure if you can delete voices and even if you could I don’t think I could test it as the steps might be different on IOS 10 then they are on 13. As far as the lack of a headphone jack goes on the new phones,, you do get an adaptor so you can still plug your old headphones into it through the charging port.

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?
