I hate the voices in IOs16. I use Serena UK Voice and I don't like the punctuation. In the beginning I couldn't even understand what she was saying. After using the iphone for a week I got used to her but still I do not like her. The voices before IOs 16 where much more predictable. Anybody else feels the same way?
iOS and iPadOS

Hello
Since iOS 13, I have selected certain voices to use in certain apps. For example Siri South-African female to speak in my newspaper apps. Siri US English female in Mail, Messages and Notes. Tessa in Facebook. On my language rotor I selected Aaron (Siri US English mail. Catherine (Siri Australian female. Everything works perfectly, except in Facebook. When I open FaceBook and swipe through the posts, it happens sometimes Aaron talks instead of Tessa.Is it a software bug or am I doing something wrong?

I recently bought an iPhone 11, and one of the first things I noticed is the sound. Music sounds pretty good through the small speakers, but voices sound strange. It's not quite robotic, but they don't sound natural. The effect is much more pronounced with lower pitches. It sounds like the phone is bringing out the brassiness and glottal fry in men. It sounds like the phone is doing some hardcore DSP, and it's mildly upsetting. Is there a way to turn it off?

Hi,
I am noticing a pop sound when Voiceover reads items sometimes for example Iwas Using the UK train times app just now and it is saying 8.14 to London and then a pop sound and then it says on time button. Is this a sound effect apple has added in IOS8 to signify buttons or is it a bug?
Also the Iphone 6 has a fingerprint censor built into the home button. When the phone is unlocked and if I hold my finger over it and move it around slightly for a few seconds, I hear a swooshing type sound effect. Have you encountered that? What is the purpose of that sound effect?

I usually do not use autotune in music but I have no problem with playing with it as a toy. I had AutoRap before but now that is very inaccessible. But this app, Voloca, is a really great app and you can share your autotuned music. You can actually import your own songs but I do believe you can sing to them.

Okay, let me ask first that if you don't have a problem with volume, specifically on BBC iPlayer Radio, then there's no need to post a reply on here. I don't need to hear loads of 'nope, don't have a problem' and 'haven't noticed a problem' replies cluttering up this thread. This is only for those that DO have a problem. I fully accept that I might be the only person who has this problem, hence, I won't get any replies at all...so be it!...smiles

Hi all. When I pair my iPhone to my Google Home (both my original Google Home and my Google Nest Audio) via blue tooth, and set the device type to "speaker," VO comes through my phone speakers as it should. But the volume of VO fluctuates really wildly from the normal volume I have it set at to extremely loud. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason to when it happens, but it happens constantly. Anybody else experiencing this? Any fixes? Thanks a lot!

Hello everybody. Is anyone experiencing volume level issues with IOS 10? Ever since it came out 2 weeks ago It seems I can't keep a decent volume level. I ware my earpods all the time and I have to keep my volume at 75 percent. I shouldn't have to have it that loud, but that seems to be a comfortable level. I also have a pair of Candy Scull earphones, but I've not tried them with IOS 10 yet.

Hello.
I'm facing a problem with the main volume while listening music in my iOS device or playing an audio game using VoiceOver. Each time VoiceOver speeks an item the volume decreases and does not return to the default volume. Even after pausing and unpausing a music, the volume remains the same. I have to pause and unpause the music being played for the third time to have it set to default.
Has any one experienced this? I'm using iPhone 5S. Is there a way to disable this feature?

I have a 4s running 8.1. Starting yesterday I've noticed the volume when listening to my voicemails is quite low, however regular calls incoming and outgoing are just fine. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Is there any way to increase the volume of the clicks one hears after typing in a letter or number? Sometimes these sounds verifying that I double tapped a character are obscured by background noises or VoiceOver speaking something. Thus I would like to increase the volume of these sounds.
I was listening to some friends type on their Android devices and the typing clikcs were very obvious yet non-intrusive.
Thanks.

Hello,
The volume of iOS alert sounds seems to be effected by the volume of voice over, meaning that the volume of VO and alert sounds is the same. I have my volume for alert sounds set to 100%, and the option to change the sound volume with the buttons is disabled. Does anyone know how to make the VO volume independent of the iOS alert sound volume?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
On the Android OS, TalkBack (their screen reader) has the ability to turn the sounds down, and for the device to give small vibrations alongside or in place of sounds to indicate what's going on.

Using ios15.3 on an IPhone 8, is anyone else noticing there earpeace volume keeps turning down? For example When a call comes in I'm finding myself having to turn up the volume so that I can hear the other person. I'd say 99 percent of the time I have to do this. It's like it's not holding. I've tried restarting the phone but it's still happening.

Dear all,
I have a problem with my 'music' apps. When I double tap to enter any of my music apps such as Amazon Music, Sound Hound or the standard Apple music app, the volume of my Iphone reduces to almost nothing (wherever the volume control is set). To reset the volume to what it should be, I have to close the music app I have open or close my Iphone. After a couple of seconds, the volume goes back to it's normal volume. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Steve.

Concerning the volume problem when using Voice Over with Airpods, I have two questions. Is this fixed in IOS 13.1? I would think it would be OK to say because, with IOS 13.1 coming out on 9/24, the current beta release would be the Gold Master and, as I understand it, Apple is OK with the Gold Master being talked about on this sight. The other question I have is regarding the work around for the volume problem that was described in comment number 26 of the discussion thread on "The Accessibility Bugs Introduced and Resolved in iOS 13 for Blind and Low Vision Users".

I have been an avid user of Vorail, for the last three or four days when I launch it I get a button labeled next. When I double tap on it nothing happens. I have a cited friend who was able to see the screen, the button is labeled more. It caused a promotional video to play for Burrell. But that's as far as it went. Does anyone have any additional information? Tried posting to the Facebook page for Rall, but no answer yet.

I'm super pissed. Vorail has not worked in the past 4 days. It says I need a wifi connection. Well my iPod 6th GEN is the only way I can use Vorail. If anyone has any legit contact INFO to Tom R please let me know cause I have a few choice fwords for him. IOS 10 is here and he and his co app DEV haven't got the ba*ls to update the app? Bloody stupid I must say. I've already deleted and reinstalled the app. I refuse to restore from a backup for just one stupid app.

Hey guys,
So as the subject says, Vorail now requires you to subscribe to use the app. And I don't mean continue using the app. You have to subscribe before you can even start using it.

Hi all, so I just downloaded vorail, but I have a question, is there some way to add people? I mean, if someone told there name on vorail, how do i search for them? Thanks for any help?
