If you set your VoiceOver voice to the default voice, it should change automatically. If you have multiple voices installed and are not using what shows as the default voice, it will not change automatically.
HTH, Richard 🖖 Live long and prosper Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com -----Original Message----- From: 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2020 7:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: text of language books I am learning Italian but the Teach Yourself books I have in Apple Books are part English, partly in Italian and VoiceOver does not change automatically - so Italian words are often not recognisable when spoken. My only solution is to change the text size to pretty huge on my iPad so I can pick my way slowly through the lessons! Good luck!
