Re: Using the Australian voice as default
I already wrote to accessibil...@apple.com to ask for a feature that would allow users to install more than one premium voices. The fact that this isn't possible is pretty annoying for people that rely on more than just one language. - Original Message - From: Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 3:03 PM Subject: Re: Using the Australian voice as default The language rotor doesn't control whether you have the compact voice or the hq voice. You can only have one hq voice on your phone at a time, and when you change the default voice in Settings General International format region, it takes a while for the new hq voice to download and replace the former one. Whether your voice is compact or hq is controlled by the compact voice control in the voiceover settings in Settings General accessibility voiceover. Toggling this to compact voice off will change the default voice to hq if it has been downloaded; otherwise you would just keep hearing the compact one. This toggle has absolutely no effect on any voice but the default one and all voices except the default one ( the one you set in format region) will always be compact. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

If people like karen so much, why not just add her to the Language Rodar in VO settings, and then switch to her whenever you like? Why go through the bother of changing the international settings and having to download the HQ version of karen, and then perhaps having to get the HQ version of the US voice again? I suppose to each their own, but it seems easier to me to add Karen to the language rodar and then I can have a choice of when I want to use her. Before iOS 5, I used karen for my main voice in VO. Since iOS 5 though, the US voice has gotten a lot better, IMO. Karen is still an option on my language rodar settings, should I want her at any point, but I'm back to the good old US of A voice. Incidentally, I also like the Irish English voice, and she also holds a place on my language rodar, grin. Jmt, Wayne On 9/26/12, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, you can use Karen. But you have to go into settings general international rformat region and choose Australia there. Then if you want the hq voice rather than the compact voice, you will have to be patient because it doesn't download the hq voice right away apparently. I ended up resetting my phone but it sounds like if you just give it time and maybe even lock the screen and put it on your charger for a while, the hq voice should eventually download. I haven't had any issues with having Australia chosen in Format Region except that siri has given me a couple of pieces of data in kilometers. But somebody said weather was in Celcius; that hasn't happened to me however. Just keep in mind that if you switch back the hq Samantha has tao download again so you have to wait for that to happen.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Cheryl,, how do you get default voice immediately? Don't you have to wait for the Australian Karen to download?

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
You can get the Australian voice immediately by changing the voice in settings General International format region, but the voice will be the compact one so turning compact voice off and on will show no change in the voice you hear though it will now be Australian. So Australian will be your default at that point but you will only be able to access the compact voice until the hq voice downloads. Also, even if Australian is default, if you set another voice in the language rotor, you will of course hear that voice but it won't become the default. Hope this helps. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Everyone might want to save the below message I say this with light-hearted humor, but not all the way light-hearted. How many times does this same thing need to be explained over. I think that this topic has been beaten to death and I've seen several list posters give good and clear directions on getting either one hq voice or the other, and why you can and cannot do something in regards to which hq voice you want and yet the same questions keep popping up. I'm of course talking about the last 5 days or so. So please, if there is a subject for which you are not clear about, save the message and re-read it over and over and it will make sense. Especially if the list poster has explained it the right way. For example, like the below one. Thanks. -- Raul A. Gallegos If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages?

You can only have one hq voice on your phone at a time, and when you change the default voice in Settings General International format region, it takes a while for the new hq voice to download and replace the former one. Whether your voice is compact or hq is controlled by the compact voice control in the voiceover settings in Settings General accessibility voiceover. Toggling this to compact voice off will change the default voice to hq if it has been downloaded; otherwise you would just keep hearing the compact one. This toggle has absolutely no effect on any voice but the default one and all voices except the default one ( the one you set in format region) will always be compact. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
The reason I don't want to just keep the Samantha as default and pull up the Australian voice in the rotor is that I then have to use the compact Australian voice which has what sounds to me like some kind of hiss or white noise each time the voice starts and stops. The hq Australian voice, on the other hand, sounds very clear and crisp to me. But I realize that voice preference is a highly individual thing. I really tried to ignore my iritation with the compact Australian voice but that bothered me about as much as Samantha does for other reasons. I'm happy with my switch and that is actually the bottom line for how each of us sets up a device. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
I just read the last 2 messages in this thread, so pardon me if I cover something already mentioned. If people like karen so much, why not just add her to the Language Rodar in VO settings, and then switch to her whenever you like? Why go through the bother of changing the international settings and having to download the HQ version of karen, and then perhaps having to get the HQ version of the US voice again? I suppose to each their own, but it seems easier to me to add Karen to the language rodar and then I can have a choice of when I want to use her. Before iOS 5, I used karen for my main voice in VO. Since iOS 5 though, the US voice has gotten a lot better, IMO. Karen is still an option on my language rodar settings, should I want her at any point, but I'm back to the good old US of A voice. Incidentally, I also like the Irish English voice, and she also holds a place on my language rodar, grin. Jmt, Wayne On 9/26/12, Cheryl Homiak cahom...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, you can use Karen.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Because just choosing the Australian voice in the rotor only gives the compact voice which, at lleast to my ears, has a hissing or white noise sound as she starts or stops speaking. The only way to get the hq voice is to make it the default so that the Australian hq voice replaces the hq voice for your former default. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Using the Australian voice as default
I am in Canada and use the Australian voice as the default. I find this voice to be far superior in quality to the standard voice and is so much easier to listen to. For this to work properly you need to change your regional setting. Go to settings, general, international, region format and set to Australia. The voice automatically changes to Australian English as default when this is selected. In about ten minutes the HQ voice will appear and you can then decide to use it or the compact voice by turning this on in VoiceOver settings. Hope this helps.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Actually, there are three different places where you can change in International. One is language, where there unfortunately isn't an option for Australian English. Another is voice control, and there you can change either for Siri or just for phone dialing. Finally, there's the one for format and that's the one i am trying. It does change the default voice. I hope i'll be able to tell the difference if it has downloaded the hq voice. My only problem with the Australian voice is that there's a slight but very annoying hiss or interference sound as the voice starts and stops speaking a word or phrase. I'm hoping this is only in the compact voice since I really like the Australian voice better than either the compact or hq Samantha which I tolerate but will never love (apologies to those who like Samantha). -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

In about ten minutes the HQ voice will appear and you can then decide to use it or the compact voice by turning this on in VoiceOver settings. Hope this helps.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
I am running the Australian hq voice and it does pretty much eliminate the hiss I had in her compact voice. But I didn't seem to get the hq voice until I reset my iPhone even though I waited a while and tried turning compact voice on and off first. But don't do this unless you have access to iTunes because I can confirm that if you reset you won't be able to turn on voiceover by yourself even if you try tripple click home! I knew the problem wasn't a sound problem or that the phone wasn't on because my time chime apps that I have set up were going off and announcing the time. Unless there are unforseen problems, I'm staying with the Australian voice. Now i don't even need the language rotor unless i decide to experiment with having it talk Spanish. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Using the Australian voice as default
Hi all, I am using an ipod 4g so Siri differences in the region settings are not important to me. In fact, having my settings in metric is what I prefer anyway. I hope this is something that can be fixed in a future update, allowing more choice of voices and even hopefully more than one choice per region.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
The problem is that each HQ voice is a couple hundred MB. If a person is running an 8 GB iOS device, the memory would fill up with just the HQ voices very quickly. It would be nice if Apple would allow us to select multiple voices, but this is not the case currently.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Well, yes, this is quite true. Fortunately I have a 16gb device which is never near full. So in my case having U.S. English and Australian English hq both downloaded is not a problem but people should be mindful of the size. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Using the Australian voice as default
Yes, for ipods this could be a bigger problem as far as space. I wonder if there's a way to delete one hq voice file when you download another one.

Using the Australian voice as default
Hello Allison, You know, this is something I also noticed when I was typing up my instructions and have been meaning to ask. For me also Australian English is not an option in Settings, General, International and Voice. I have been meaning to post this and hopefully maybe some of our friends down under like David, Jonathan or Garth could chime in with an explanation.

I followed your instructions, but after I pressed the first language button, I was unable to select Australian English. The only English options I was given were English and British English. I'm really interested in using the full Australian voice as my default.

When I tried it by setting it to British English it did afterwards come back on with British English and when I then set the rotor to Languages and flicked through my selection it told me British English was my default.

I have changed those settings and when I did it the phone went quiet and wouldn't do anything for a bit and then British English came back on. I changed it in the rotor back to US and hope it will stay that way. Though it still seems to indicate that my default is British English even though I have said just English like you said. I guess it doesn't take much effort to change it if it changes itsself back since it's in my rotor, just it never did that before so it's slightly irritating.

In International you can change the following settings independently from each other: Language: this is the default language used by Voiceover Voice Control: this is the language you set for SIRI or stand-along voice dialing Keyboards: here you can select multiple keyboards and order them in the same way you can order the voices in the language rotor. I just use the main English keyboard and the Emoji keyboard to have easy access to emoticons. By the way, just noticed you can delete items here by flicking down, i.e. the new actions rotor works here. Region Format: Here you can select your country and this determines how your date and time is formatted/displayed. If you change this and then flick past the Calendar setting you find a region Format Example which displays how the date, time and phone numbers are formatted. I am in Canada, so I have the voice set to just English which means I use the Samantha HQ voice, I have SIRI set to English Canada and the region format also to Canada although I think that is pretty much the same as US. However, if you are in England and want to use Samantha I don't see why you can't select English as the language instead of British English, then set SIRI to English UK to make she understands your limy accent *smile* and the region format to United Kingdom.
