RE: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6
Hi Richard, I just checked my S4 watch which is running 7.1 and it's using a voice from Itake it the phone. I checked under accessibility to find that the siri voice option is un checked therefore not at all being used by my watch. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Wednesday, 18 November 2020 5:29 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6 Richard, I have been on Watch 7.0, or perhaps it was 7.0.1.

RE: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6
Thanks Wayne, >From what others have said, I think you are lucky in that if you reset the >watch, you may lose that ability. I've heard from 4 or 5 people using the same watch who either reset the watch or updated before trying the Siri voice and none of them can use it. The Apple engineers are aware of this issue and I hope will resolve it relatively soon, which could be next year as software development goes. Thanks for all the info.

You are correct. Unfortunately I updated, and there is no way to go back on apple watch. This is the reason I haven't tried the beta on apple watch. I really thought about it though.

RE: VO voices on Apple Watch series 6
Hello again, After spending a long time with an Apple Accessibility support person, who was great!, I'm left with a question. For anyone successfully using the Siri Voice for VoiceOver on their watch, do you have the cellular model, or the WiFi/GPS model? Mine is the WiFi/GPS model and this does not work, but the support person' has the cellular model and it works easily for him, so he would like to know as well as nothing states this feature requires the cellular model.

Well, Wayne, you are very lucky. When I turn on the Siri Voice on the watch, it turns off again. I guess it is time to sit on hold with Apple Accessibility.
