Ever since I updated iOS 17, Alex has been mispronouncing a couple words. I don’t know if this problem persist with other voices, since Alex is pretty much the voice I use all the time. Some of the words he mispronounces include adventure (he pronounces it like add venture) and WiFi (says it like wee-fi.) I'm sure there are others, but that's what I remember off the top of my head. Is anyone else having this problem?
iOS and iPadOS

I updated to iOS 16 today, and haven't had any problems with it so far. But I noticed right away that Alex, my preferred voice for voiceover, sounds weird. He's saying quite a few words in a really odd way that makes him sound a lot less natural. The word button is a glaring example of this. Does anyone else agree?

Hi all,
I apologize if this was brought up before but I can't find anything regarding this issue. I haven't used Alex on my phone do to the space he takes up but I did try him out yesterday. A friend told me about this and I noticed this as well. Alex will sometimes spell out the name of an item instead of saying it. Like for example the app navigon on my phone he spells it out. n a v I g o n. Is there a way to fix this or is this normal behavior?
Thanks.

I am using ios 16.6. I've noticed with the alex voice sometimes it will switch to samantha compaq for a second and then go back to alex. Is this a bug?

Hello.
When playing certain games or using certain apps with VoiceOver, Alex reads some information very slowly. I typically have VoiceOver speech rate between 75 and 90%, and the speech rate in the spoken content screen is around 80%.
This does not happen with any other voices. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Is anyone else having issues with the alex voice suddenly going silent? I've been noticing this for a while I want to say since IOS16? I can turn vo off and back on to fix it. This is an SE2022.

Hello all,
Is it possible to get the Alex voice to read out words in all caps? Right now all he does is spell them out and it usually sounds like gibberish when he does. This is the biggest reason I won't use Alex as my primary voice.
Regards,
Greg Wocher

Is there anyway possible to have alex automatically slow down when he's reading a number? An example would be a 2 step verification code or an authentication code. I know with the vocalizer voices they tend to read numbers at a slower rate automatically, not sure if this is a function within the synthisizer itself. Alex use to be my main voice, not sure if it's me or not but I'm finding him harder and harder to understand.

Hello
I prefer the Oliver and Tessa voices for use on my iPhone 6S. From time to time I discovered among the list of voices, that the Alex voice installed itself although I deleted the 800MB file every time. Is there a way to stop this permanently.

While doing a little research, I stumbled across this article. it was written June of last year, and tells how to do certain functions with Alexa through Siri.
I believe since then, Alexa has gone through a series of updates, and the information no longer seems valid.
Has anyone been successful getting Siri to work with Alexa, besides the typical, "Hey Siri, open Alexa"?
Thanks in advance for any insight. 🙂

I'm a heavily siri user, and i hope to extent my Siri usage each day,
BUt am thinking to try Alexa.
so, in your opinion, will it add something that Siri can not do? i do not have any amazon speaker or something like that, so, is it good to use it?
thanks in advance

Hello. I am a youtube person and wonder if there is a way to see all the comments from all my videos so I don’t have to look through my hundred videos. Okay, that may be an overstatement. I have a blog at Sabrina Fagerheim and do not want to open every single entry to check for comments. Any help would be apreciated.

Hi
Do any of you know of any apps that let you connect to multiple messenger services please?
I need access to WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype and FB Messenger, and it would make things a lot easier to just have them all in one App.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

I thought a problem like this was described here shortly after iOS 15 was released, but I searched extensively and couldn't find it. So, I'll try again and hope someone has some advice or solution for this problem.
My wife and I each have an iPhone on our T-Mobile account. About a week ago, we discovered that no one could call either of our phones. All calls were (and still are) routed directly to voice mail. We receive no missed call notifications, although we will get the voice mail if one is left.

Hi. I found out from this site about an iOS app called 1 tap. It used to have an app entry as well as a podcast. I used to use it, then it quit working so I came on this site to see if it was a fault of the app or if I was doing something wrong. I tried a bunch of searches on the site including typing the number 1 as a number 1 and a word one. Then a space before the word tap and also with no space in between 1 and tap, but I can not find the app entry or the podcast anymore.

I am trying to access the Allegiant airline app using Voice-over. I am able to select my departure and destination, but the calendar of dates to travel is not accessible.
Any ideas on other ways to book my flight using the calendar of dates in the App?
Thanks.
