I personally think narrator is crap, It’s what voiceover was back in the tiger days.

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. Richard "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of ancient hatreds among peoples.

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 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. Sent from Diane's awesome iPhone!

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 -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
