I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good 
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold 
a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert

I can understand someone not liking the voices, but folks this is it really! 
If we didn't have these voices or any of them, we would be in a world of 
hurtin'. Be greatful that you have choices. Be greatful you have VoiceOver 
period. Apple has made it nice for us although thereare bugs. There will always 
be bugs so don't expect a perfect world of technology because they are human, 
too. Anyway, that's my rant for today.

I really don't like any of the voices but for now, I've got Siri male. I 
really hate the sound of all of them except for Siri male and really hate the 
way Siri voices pronounce some words. Looks like they could come up with better 
ones.

Is this the problem with Samatha that you all are talking or is Samatha a 
different voice than Siri?

Someone else had the same problem and she called Apple. I also had the same 
problem. What we have to do is change her voice if you have the American  
Female  that seems to be the problem. It was with the last update that some of 
us are having a problem with that. I changed it to the male American Apple had 
suggested to the other person to change it to a British voice. So it’s up to 
you but whatever when you change it and it should work. Apparently with the 
next update this should be resolved.

Hello all,
For some reason Siri has quit speaking. I have tried pressing the volume up 
after asking her a question and all that seems to do is raise the volume of the 
phone but not Siri. I have also tried rebooting my phone and that did not help. 
What else can I try to get her speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update 
on a iPhone 10S.

Thanks,
Greg Wocher
