Yes, it does seem to be true. I was visiting friends and we compared the
high quality and default Samantha voices, and the default did seem a little
better to us. Strange but that's what it sounded like to us.

i always thought Samantha was the better 1, that is the lower quality voice.

Actually in my opinion, the Samantha low quality voice sounds better
than the high quality voice. It sound like it should be the other way
around. Try using the lower quality voice and see if your issues are
still there.

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed a couple of VoiceOver changes
that I became aware of in the past couple of days. I updated my
iPhone 6 to iOS 9.3.4 last night but I noticed these changes while
still running iOS 9.3.3.
The first change is minor and concerns how VO speaks the minutes when
announcing the time when they are less than 10 after the hour. I feel
certain that before a couple of days ago, VO would say the o for zero
before announcing the minute. For example if the time were 8:05 a.m.,
VO would say 8 oh 5 a.m. Now, VO is saying 8 5 a.m. Like I said, no
big deal but I'm curious why they would change such a thing and I'm
wondering if anyone else noticed it.
The other issue is more annoying. When VO is reading my texts and
emails I've composed back to me, the pause indicating punctuation
such as a period at the end of a sentence seems to have greatly
decreased or disappeared altogether. I've had to double check on more
than one occasion to ensure that I included a period because VO read
my text as if the sentences were typed without one. I've reviewed my
VoiceOver settings to make sure nothing has been added to control
this and could not find anything. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm using the Samantha high quality voice for VoiceOver if this makes
a difference.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
