Honestly, I think it's... well... you can complete that sentence as you see
fit. LOL! Ultimately, I'm not doubting you, nor that they told you this, as
much as I'm doubting that is the real reason. They're quite NSA
specification secretive. in some respect. In other words, they don't spill
jack ***. I'm sure there's a more logical explaination, Getting them to tell
us what the full reason is would be like trying to get cookie monster to eat
asparagus, or getting a baby to eat a 16 ounce sirloin, mind you, in one
sitting.

Something about the space, and how they handle things something like that
I am not sure either I have the voices though and I also Know that you
said you did not have them. So I am also interested in knowing how they
came up with this as well.

Yeah... I don't get how it could be device related, but, OK. I suppose.

I have heard that they are working on getting the voices back in an
update they had told me that it was device specific and that they should
have always been there.

What I! wanna know, is why on earth I cannot get the Siri Enhanced
voices back?
Accessibility is being completely beat around the bush with me
regarding it. Some reps tell me they did away with the enhanced
American english male and female voices, while others say, no, they
should be there, while thirdly, others say, they're not there and were
taken out, but they're going to be coming back soon.
I just want the truth in what on earth happened. I frankly don't like
Alex, but that's just me. I've grown to tollerate him, but that's about
it. I find most of the other Nuance voices to be the same, given my
hearing loss.
The male Siri enhanced voice is about the only one I can do with ease.
The compact isn't terrible, but it's way to downsampled and fuzzy for
my liking. Plus, some of the way it pronounces things is utter crap!
Before anyone says anything, I've definitely done what was suggested by
Applevis by plugging in my phone to the actual wall, not the mac before
restoring an iCloud backup with the voices included from a device which
still has access to them. That did no good.
I've also restored and set up as a new device both from the phone
itself as well as from ITunes directly on the mac. No good.
BTW, no, this is not a public nor private beta. Neither ones have ever
touched this device.
Even stranger, a friend of mine just got an iPhone 6S+, and he had the
voices right from the get go. Both enhanced were there. So, why the
hell can't I seem to get them.
It's the weirdest thing. I did an iOS update about 3 or 4 builds back,
and ever since, they've just totally vannished.

Subject: Ipod touch latest and Alex
Hi,
Lucky me! I have got an iPod touch for my birthday. The trouble is
for the life of me I can't work out how to download and enable Alex as
my voice. I've been through accessibility, and voices, accessibility,
Voiceover and speech, but I still cannot work it out. I can't stand
Daniel, and Samantha is tolerable but my favourite is Alex. I have
managed to enable him on my iphone SE but ipod touch? No go. Please
help! Ipod touch is supposed to have the A8 chip so it should be
possible. Or maybe not?
Andrew
