This happens to me every once in a while.  Turning the phone off & back on 
always solves it.

Carla,

 

This sometimes happens to me and I’m using an iPhone 7 currently.  I think it 
might have something to do with the cell provider.

Starting yesterday I haven't been able to dictate text messages using Siri.  
She either says "I am having trouble connecting," or "There is a problem."  I 
can use my bluetooth keyboard and type the message and it sends fine.  Is there 
a fix for this or are any of you having the same problem?

This happened to me once a long time ago. Lets try this to see if it works. Go 
into Siri and turn it off. If you have a phone with a home button you'll turn 
it off where it says use Siri with home button. If you don't have home button 
it will say Siri with side button. After you turn that off, go into general and 
keyboards and turn off dictation. Wait about a minute or so and go through the 
same steps to turn them both back on. Hopefully this will fix the issue you're 
having.

and cranked up the volume. I could also not stand her in that situation.

Ha, I thought I was the only one who didn't like the new siri voice. I usually 
keep the rate set to 70% and I didn't care for her at all. I kept her around 
for a day, thinking I might get used to her, but this morning I went back to my 
compact Samantha. Of course I prefer Eloquence on my laptop so go figure.

Re: Siri Issue

2017-09-21 Thread Sadam Ahmed 


Eloquence on the iPhone would be great.

Sadly, I don't think it's going to ever happen.

on Mac OS there is a hack to get it working, but since this is an iOS 
forum i won't go into it here.


Works well on Android devices though thanks to the good foke  at code 
factory.


I use com packed Karen which is nice and crisp and doesn't cut off words 
unlike some of the other TTS'S.

Hi. Totally agree with you regarding the new Siri female voice. It
isn’t the most responsive by a long shot but the most human sounding
I’ve ever heard on an iPhone. Hopefully, responsiveness will improve.
Despite the small lag, I still am keeping her as my default voice
because she’s so pleasant to listen to. As you mentioned she’s the best at 
normal human speed.

I have it set to 55% for the SIRI voice, just ask SIRI a question, this will 
give you a good example of what she should sound like.
Ask her “What is the forecast for today”.

I have never had a problem with Samantha like her a lot more than
Alex. The new siri voice will have to try it with voice over. I just
need to remember how to setup that voice with vo.

Hi. Totally agree with you regarding the new Siri female voice. It isn’t the 
most responsive by a long shot but the most human sounding I’ve ever heard on 
an iPhone. Hopefully, responsiveness will improve. Despite the small lag, I 
still am keeping her as my default voice because she’s so pleasant to listen 
to. As you mentioned she’s the best at normal human speed.

That shows how subjective TTS voices sound to us. I always preferred Samantha 
for Voiceover, to me she sounds just fine and if you truly have downloaded the 
new female american SIRI voice then I really don’t understand where you get the 
witch thing because I think she is one of the best TTS voices I have ever 
heard. I don’t have an Amazon Echo, but from Podcasts I heard I thought Alexa 
also sounds extremely good, but this new SIRI voice is probably the most human 
sounding voice I have ever heard. I must add that she only sounds good at 
regular human speaking volume, if you download her for Voiceover and cranc up 
the volume it’s a different story, her kind of voice is not meant to speak fast.

Unfortunately the next update won’t change things since I’m sure after the 
amount of money and effort Apple has gone through to come up with that voice 
they won’t go back to what she sounded like before.

questions about the gmail application RE: Siri Issue

2013-11-15 Thread Luis Eduardo Peña 
Hello,

 

Yesterday I downloaded the gmail app for iPhone5s. When I tried to configure
my account the apps kept indicating that my user name and or my password was
incorrect. This happened several times in spite of the fact that I requested
sighted assistance. Has any of you experienced this difficulty? By the way,
how accessible is this app?

 

I also would like to know what is the fastest procedure to delete email
messages from the native iPhone mail app.

 

Thank you.

Hi listers,

For the past two days, siri has not worked for me. I have tried shutting
down the phone and starting it back up, Restarting it with home  Lock, and
a quick restart with the lock button 6 times quickly. My cell signal is max,
and my wifi is max. I have even tried shutting off wifi  to see if siri
works on the cell service. I disabled siri, then enabled it again.

Nothing worked.

Note. I have a 4S, running IOS 7.0.3.

My wife has an iPhone 5 running IOS 6 and her siri is working just fine.

 

Suggestions are appreciated,

 

Thom

Same here, getting too many sorry, I'm not able to take any requests right
now, try again later messages. Those servers must be seriously bogged down
but it's something Apple should address. If I had been a new user, I
wouldn't be terribly impressed with Siri's frequent inability to work
properly.

RE: Siri Issue

2013-09-26 Thread Candy 
I am also having a big problem with Siri. The way that she works the best is 
for me to first turn voice over off and then give her a command. Then she works 
fine. If I have voice over on and give her a command she says, things you can 
ask me to do. I didn't have this problem at all with iOS 6.br/br/Sent from 
Yahoo! Mail for iPhone

Well while you're at it you can always tell Siri to turn VoiceOver on 
for you. Same is true for turning it off. I know this will be a godsend 
for us particularly in situations where VoiceOver has gone and we have 
no sightlings around.

Check the siri language it should use your native language. That's my 
guess anyway. Settings general siri language. Any siri users out here 
have any ideas?

I wonder how many of the 9 million iPhones sold our new customers. They all 
must be trying out Siri, because quite often I am getting no service.

Thost try again later things only happen when I am off-line for some

I had this issue right after upgrading, a reboot of the phone fixed this. It
