Thanks for that info re altering Siri's speech speed. I have not hadany reason
to check to see
whether adjusting the speed for voice over had any affect on Siri. I have
brought the vo speed down
from 50% to 47, and it does not sound all that funereal and has made it a lot
easier to make out
what Karin is saying.

hi,
No, you can't adjust the Siri speed, unfortunately. I'd throw it
right up.

Jewel,
You can always find the message that you sent whether it be
through Siri or you typed it out through the message program by
just going into messages. In fact on your homepage up to you
send a message if you swipe around you will see this is the
message you sent to and you can hit the button and it will take
you to messages and or might even read that message right there
sort of a copy of everything you've done or asked Siri is sitting
right there on your screen also, I don't see I don't know if you
can alter the speed at which Siri speaks. I believe that was
another one of your questions. Maybe somebody else on was can
address that. Good luck

my use of the iPhone is pretty limmited, but I am, gradually,
very
gradually, adding new, I hesitate to say * skills, but new
somethings to my repertoire.
An American friend of mine, no doubt in an attempt to force me
into deep and dangerous waters:
"some people choose their friends, while others have them thrust
upon them!" has taken to texting me
and here we come to the reason for my request for help.
Yesterday morning, I received such and started by attempting to
send a reply by using the typing
keyboard. which I aborted as it was going to hell in a hand
basket, and then I started another one
by dictating to Siri, but he cut me off after I had uttered only
a few words.
However, I then emailed my friend, who, by the way, is one that
I chose, not one that was thrust
upon me, about the aborted typed text in which I said that I
couldn't get rid of the wretched thing
and voice over just kept say "done button--done button--done
button: done--done--done--done--done
button--done button", and then it reads the bit of the text that
I had written, but if there is a
delete or done button anywhere on the screen, it is making a
darned good job of hiding.
I have, briefly, located "actions available" but before I have a
chance to take advantage of what it
offers, it has vanished, not to be spotted again for days.
Staying with messages sent via Siri: Is there any way of
editting a message sent in this way?
For instance, in the second message I sent to this anonymous
yank cobber, I said that I was sending
the message by way of Siri, and though it was not * too
wonderful, it was a lot better than my
first effort.
I knew from the way Siri read it back that he had it written as
t o, not t o o wonderful!
I sent a spoken message to Ken, another chosen friend, this time
a genuine Kiwi bloke, telling him
that I hadn't won a single brass razoo on Lotto and I started
it: Hi Ken! but I am sure that Siri
wrote Hi Kim!
With this latest rash of upgrades, is it possible to set Siri,
specifically, to read messages a
little bit slower? It can be very difficult to hear what he is
saying as he gabbles his way through
the message: I don't have speech speed set at anything like
the rate that some people do: I have
mine at around 50%. Any slower than that, and it is reminiscent
of a funeral dirge, and is not all
that enjoyable to listen to.
