You should check to see if you have the compact or enhanced Samantha.  To me, 
the enhanced sounds distorted, and this usually downloads automatically when 
updating.  This is in settings, voice over, and speech.

 

Take care,

Lois

Subject: IOS 10 update Samantha sounds fuzzy

 

Hi: I've installed IOS10 and with voice over, using "Samantha" the voice sounds 
funny and sort of distorted. Have any of you experienced this? If so, what 
should I do about it?

Thanks.

Re: IOS 10 update Samantha sounds fuzzy

2016-10-03 Thread 'Carol Pearson' via VIPhone 

Hi there,

I had something very similar! Yes, I certainly had problems with the 
voices when I downloaded all the best  speaking voices, only to find 
that they sounded absolutely awful after the upgrade and I just couldn't 
bear to listen to them like that! I couldn't crank up the volume much 
above 50 percent as reading became too tedious and annoying. I Actually 
complained to The Accessability Team but then, seeing a message from 
Rajmund, I decided to give his advice a shot. Three or four times I 
ended up flashing my phone to clear out any rubbish stuck in the system, 
and finally I managed to get a result! :-) Now, my voices sound clear 
and I am happy once again!


I know that I tried twice to do the reset where you hold down the Home 
and lock screen key for 10 seconds, I then tried all sorts and must say 
that some things were not terribly authentic! :-) However, I did get it 
working but couldn't tell you quite everything I  did because I can't 
remember properly! No doubt, some who know better than I, can tell you 
exactly how to do the resets properly! :-)


I do hope that gets you there. Please let me know as I am interested to 
see how this one goes.


(The rest of this message may be interesting to some but is a little 
long so feel free to skip if you're not interested once you start 
reading on.)


Whilst writing, some may remember that I mentioned a bug in my phone 
after  I had been inputting in Braille, when it had some text trapped 
somewhere in its buffer... At the time, various people suggested a few 
things to me but I don't think they'd really grasped the problem. It had 
occurred when I'd written a message to a friend in Braille with the 
Smart Beetle. This was before the upgrade, when Braille wasn't behaving 
very well and I was just learning the Beetle. I got frustrated and 
deleted the message! From that time onwards, over a number of weeks, 
Each time I dictated to Siri and he got it a little bit screwed up and I 
corrected with the backspace key to delete to remove those characters 
the phone would read out about three sentences of the message I had 
attempted to write to a friend and had deleted it those weeks back. I 
could still delete characters but couldn't stop this piece of texst from 
reading each time.I even selected it and played it again, using the four 
times three-finger tap, and there it was again! I also did various 
resets at that point without success. I knew, the only thing to do was 
to wait till the upgrade and, as the system was renewed and changed, it 
would probably go away. Well, it did! HURRAY!


Gremlins, for sure!
