Dear Listers, In iOS 6.0, one could not use the Greek voice as it would only spell the Greek text rather than read it as normal. In iOS 6.1, this behaviour appeared to be the same, much to my dispair. However, I've played with it a little more and I discover that if I make the Greek voice my default voice in "settings" / "international", then I can read Greek text as one should. The problem is however, that having made Greek the default voice, all the icons change to the Greek localisation as well. The Greek voice can read English but with a degree of distortion which makes it very tiresome. Therefore, in english applications, Greek voice will read the English icons and text but in a ditroted somewhat distorted way. It is a solution for me but not very satisfactory.
I don't understand why it is that when I choose Greek using the rotor with English being the default, then the Greek doesn't work properly, but when I make it the default voice, then it does. Has anyone else noticed this with other languages? It seems to me that it is a bug since no other voice behaves in this fashion. Even when you go to the languages options and flick through the list of all available languages, all languages are spoken by their full name, i.e., Francé, but when you land on Greek it says, epsilon, lambda lambda iota, nika, rather then ellinika which is a full name. So it spells part of the name and part pronounces it. Feel free to write of list, if you wish with your experiences, comments. It's frustrating to be able to choose French let's say when I need it, or Russian, and read a piece of text easily, and not to be able to switch through language rotor option into Greek to let's say browse a website in Greek or read an ej-mail from a Greek friend.
