Voice problems

Hi, Yesterday I updated my iPhone XR to the latest IOS. Voice Over now sounds like it has been smoking for 50 years or something. Is there a way to clear this up? I have tried a couple different voices and it doesn't help. What's strange is that Siri's voice still sounds fine, even though

Of course, if someone is focused on that market and not the run-of-the-mill drug addict, then yes. But, for me, I am not worried in the least. I don’t hang my phone out for people to grab. Since I grew up traveling without all the digital assistance, I don’t’ really use my phone for

Actually, yes. I don't recall right now if it is a default keystroke, or if you have to define it under commands in VoiceOver settings. If you dig through the commands in the VO settings, you should find Siri and if no keyboard command is defined, you can pick a command and add it assuming that

Hi all. Is anyone having problems with the be my eyes app. I place a call, the tones stop and the phone seems to freeze up. My Iphone 13 Mini is having some rather disturbing problems, so I'm not sure if it's my phone or if there is some sort of glitch with the server or the app. Just curious.
