Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Voiceover > Speech and tap on Default Dialect. Make sure you select "Samantha Enhanced" and not "Samantha Default". The default is the lower quality, compact voice. You can also try out SIRI Mal or SIRI Female and see how you like them.

I was having some success with fleksy this afternoon when the keyboard totally locked up. Now when I touch any key all it says is keyboard, and doesn't do anything. Which also means that there is no way to get out of the keyboard, the two finger swipe up and swipe down does nothing. The only

Go into the phones settings/general/keyboard/keyboards, see if Fleksy has full access. Sometimes full access turns itself off for some unexplicable reason. Even if it’s not turned off, turn it off then back on again and see if this helps. /Krister > 5 apr. 2016 kl. 08:46 skrev Chuck Dean
