Kathy, To select the female Siri voice, go to Settings, Siri, Siri Voice, make sure American is selected under the Accent heading, and make sure female is selected under the Gender heading.
To check the voices you have selected, go to Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Speech, Voice to select the default Voiceover voice such as Samantha enhanced. Below this setting, you might also want to add new languages where you can choose other English accents but can also choose US English where you can assign another voice such as Alex to US English to make it easier to swap voices on the fly using the language option in the rotor.

The Siri voice was set to male. A couple of days ago, I was looking at the new voice settings in the latest version of IOS 10. Somehow I switched to male for the default voice and Samantha for Siri. I have searched all over the screens in Accessibility and Speech. Even when Samantha is selected the voice does not change back, and I can find no way to make the change take effect. What am I missing? Thanks for any help. Kathy Blackburn kblac...@austin.rr.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
