Re: Updated to iOS 27 and my primary Samantha voice is stuck on the default speech rate of 50%

What I have found that helps me with the voiceover voice bugs, with each and every yearly update of IOS update, I delete my current chosen voiceover voice and do a fresh download of the voice. most of the time my voiceover bugs go away

Why should I wait to report something when I’m experiencing it in the hear and now?

I’ve done the usual restart VO as well as the phone itself with no luck and have been an iPhone user since 2011 so this isn’t my first update rodeo either.

Just delete and move on. Talk about thoroughly unhelpful.

Please folks wit all our voice problems, please after updating a whole IOS, wait with the reporting of bugs at least 24 hours.

Please do charge your iphone for at least one evening or night and lock the screen.

Why? Because there are so many background processes going on after an update your iphone is indexing bunches of stuff and it is possible that right after an update the phones behaviour especially with voices is weird, that’s each year the same issues.

Onderwerp: Updated to iOS 27 and my primary Samantha voice is stuck on the default speech rate of 50%

 

Hello list,

So as the subject line states, I updated my 15 Pro Max to iOS 27 about an hour ago, and while the process of doing so went fine, now, my Samantha voice which is my primary voice and which I have at 100% speech rate is stuck at what sounds like the default 50%. Also, If I select another voice profile be it English as well or another language, nothing changes.

I have restarted my phone and when I did it the first time, the TTS came back with my correct speech settings, but after 10 or so minutes, it reverted to the 50% speech rate.

I’m going to reach out to Apple accessibility as this is driving me bonkers and is bigtime affecting my ability to work  from my phone.

Just thought I’d reach out in case others are also experiencing this and if they know of a workaround other than trying to roll back to an earlier release?
