Hello, I apologize if this question has been asked before. I could not find the answer hence my post. Could someone kindly tell me simply if there is a way to access the Siri female voice within the voice dream reader application for text to speech feedback.

Siri has lost its mind and has lost the plot in iOS 16
I can ask it something like
NRL Raiders player suffers mid game seizure.
Siri would sayI’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Could you please say that again?

Long time lurker, first time poster. My wife is legally blind and has tactile disabilities the prevent her from using a keyboard, or touch screen with any accuracy. She's successfully used an iPod Classic for years with velcro on the action buttons which has allowed her to use it to listen to audiobooks which she thrives on.

Over the last couple of major iOS updates, Siri seems to be losing its ability to do anything. I have noticed that it is now impossible to add something to the shopping list in notes using Siri. Since updating to iOS 16 it is now unable to recognise this song. If I heard a song I ask Siri to name this song or what is this song? In the past it’s done it with no difficulty. it seems to mishear more frequently than it used to. It’s not only me but other members of the family as well.

Hello everybody. Haven’t found anything worth it in iOS 14 build the only thing that may interest me is if Siri is improved. How is your experience? Apple claims it’s much much better but I’m not sure if it’s only marketing hype. Let me know your thoughts. Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hi guys, this is not really VoiceOver related, so I hope not to be too much off topic.
Here in Italy we are noticing that Siri in iOS 16 is behaving a bit worse as compared to previous versions, for example when asking to call a person it could say something like: "I don't understand who you're refferring to", or: "What do you want to know about this person?"; in other cases the answers are not always what we expect. Could you tell me your experience about that in America or wherever you live?
Bye!

To anyone else running iOS 8.2: Have you noticed that the US English female voice of Siri still sounds flat/robotic/monotone in 8.2 just like it did in 8.1.3? I am convinced something was changed and am not happy about it because to me, Siri has lost its expressiveness. This started in 8.1.3. I have tested the other voices, and they aren't affected. I have read that Siri is getting improved in the upcoming 8.3 update. Can anyone confirm if Siri sounds any better in the 8.3 betas? Thanks,
Josh

Itwas workin jut fne when I was in beta mode, but once I gotout of beta, ad started using the actual updates, Siri stopped announcing notificatons. I do have it set to announce over speaker, and I have apps set to go through to Siri,however, I'm hearing no announcements going through. I trned announcements on through accessibility settings.

when i want to set a new calendar event, i can say "new appointment", "new event", "set calendar", etc, cool. but siri wants to decide where it goes based on the context.
for example if i say new appointment then hair cut at 3pm tomorrow, siri will set it up in my calendar; but if i say new appointment then call my hair stylist at 11:30am, siri insists on setting it up as a reminder...the problem is i want it to be on my calendar, not reminder! is there something better to say so that siri won't second guess me?

Hey guys, does anyone else have this issue? Every time I say hey Siri and tell it what I wanted to do, it waits then says one sec, then it says, still working or something like that, then says sorry, something went wrong. but my Internet connection is working fine because I've checked with all my other devices. I do have a little bit of lag but It isn't enough to hinder my connection in any way. I have noticed that I can dictate perfectly fine, but when I actually try to talk to Siri, it does this.

Hello
After updating to iOS 14 and 14.1 I have noticed that the sound Siri makes to indicate it is listening no longer plays I have some vision so I’m able to see that the Siri icon has come up on screen.
I speak my request and notice the sound that Siri has stopped listening plays.
My mum is totally blind and mainly accesses her phone through Siri (she has voiceover on but can’t really double tap so everything is done through Siri) not having the beep to indicate Siri is listening is going to cause her real problems.

Dear all,
When giving a siri command through my airpods 2, everytime siri is done I have my lockscreen read out loud with voiceover. Is there a way that my lockscreen is not announced when I use siri from my lock phone through my airpods 2?
If you need clarification just ask smiley.

Hi everyone,
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed this problem? When I try to send a long text message to siri, it goes off on some long rampage about how long my text message is, and could I please say it in fewer words? I did some looking around on the net, but couldn't really find anything about it, other than the fact that others are having the same problem. Let me know what you guys think, or if anyone else is having this issue. It just started a couple of days ago.

I wanted to bring your attention to a frustrating feature that has only recently begun appearing when using Siri and iOS 8 on my IPhone 5. I am totally blind and use VoiceOver and Siri features regularly. Our city buses do not announce current locations, so I would use my phone at times to get a feel for where I was by asking for the current location with Siri. It would then speak that information to me, until I tried it this morning. Now it says, here is your current location with just what I assume is a visual reference on a map, it does not speak the actual address.

Hi again. Posting up a few issues because I haven't had time to add them earlier, so forgive the several posts tonight. :) This seemed to appear in one of the recent updates to iOS 13 but I can't recall exactly when the problem began. I will ask Siri a question, such as how old a given celebrity is (don't ask - my wife and I play this silly guessing game about the ages of celebrities and use Siri to see who got closer. lol). Anyhow, lately it will display the result on screen (I can see the white rectangle where I assume the text is) but she doesn't read it aloud.

I just purchased iPhone 13 Pro with Telstra as my provider. Transferred previous SIM from SE 2020 to new phone. Seems most things work,except when I am out and about and ask Siri to open any of the 3rd party apps like Seeing AI or other navigation apps. The first time I ask, it says that it is having difficulty connecting, make sure your device is on the same wifi network as this Home Pod. Yes, it is saying I am using a home Pod.when I manually initiate an app when out and about, it works no problem. But the Siri thing is problematic.
