Re: Voiceover pronunciations

[Richard Turner]

I have no idea what you are referring to by what they did to the 
pronunciations. What voice are you using, what specific pronunciations do you 
not agree with, etc.
Blanket statements like that do not tell me anything.
So, if you could give more specifics, maybe there are work arounds, or you will 
find others who agree and can begin contacting Apple to make some changes.

Voiceover pronunciations

Here’s hoping the next update fixes what they did to the pronunciations for

Can You Duplicate My Issue Customizing the Voiceover Pronunciations

[Alan Lemly]

Hello list,

 

I have an iPhone 7 running iOS 10.2 and I'm having a very strange issue
adding a word to my customized pronunciations. I believe this is the first
time I've added a word since installing iOS 10.2 so I'm curious if others
can duplicate it before reporting it.

 

I typed a text message tonight containing the word adamant and noticed that
Voiceover pronounced it with emphasis on the last syllable and with a
pronounced mant sound as opposed to a mint sound which I prefer. I went into
Settings, General, Accessibility, Voiceover, Speech, and Pronunciations and
added adamant using the add button in the upper right corner. I typed in the
word using the on-screen keyboard just as it's spelled above and then I
dictated the replacement pronunciation substitution. I had a very difficult
time getting it to place my dictated substitution in the right field which I
don't recall being an issue before. If I didn't double tap the substitution
field before double tapping the dictate button, I would end up with extra
characters in the field for the entered word and adamant would be listed
more than once including the pronunciation symbols. I don't ever recall this
being an issue with past versions of iOS 10 but I finally figured out to
double tap in the substitution field before double tapping the dictate
button. I finally was able to get adamant entered in my customized
pronunciations and played it back successfully but when I went to my text
message where I had used it, the message spoke as if adamant wasn't in it.
The word was totally ignored. When I deleted adamant from my customized
pronunciations, the text message spoke it again but with the incorrect
pronunciation I started with.

 

This feels like a bug to me and I'm wondering if anyone else can duplicate
it. I know it's more than a little tedious to try this but I'm very curious
if others can duplicate it because I depend on being able to customized
pronunciations and want this to work correctly.

 

Thanks for trying to duplicate this issue and reporting back.

 

Alan Lemly
