So weird!  Interesting that some of us get it and others do not. Apple 
Accessibility wrote back to me today and were unable to reproduce the issue. 
They asked iabout language settings. I’m going to read through the email and 
check what they suggest. I do not knowingly have any different languages 
installed.   Since I’m still apprehensive about the potential bug in the app 
switcher in IOS 15, I’m not willing to upgrade yet.

So after reading the posts about the new  pronunciation in ios 14.8, I tried it 
out yesterday and I encountered the mispronunciation. I had not used the words 
north Carolina or South Carolina recently so had not discovered the problem. I 
am using the regular siri samanatha voice.
However, when I tried to duplicate the issue today, Voiceover pronounced the 
words correctly.
So perhaps Apple fixed the issue? Is anyone else still encountering this 
mispronunciation today?

Hi, I just sent the below to apple accessibility.  Curious if any of you have 
noticed it and if it’s fixed in IOS 15.

Since updating to IOS 14.8, I noticed a very strange mispronunciation.  I first 
saw it with reading an email from Southwest  Airlines using VoiceOver. Then I 
noticed it when reading a news story in Newsify where  the article mentioned 
South Carolina. This happens using Samantha and Samantha Enhanced and wit Siri 
#1 and Siri #4.  It did not occur when I switched to Alex.

Examples:
“South Carolina:   - If I read by word, it reads correctly.  If I read by line 
or continuous reading, it just says something like “Saw ja tee” and won’t even 
say “Carolina”.  If I ask Siri for the capital of S.C., she will mispronounce 
“South” the same way, but will say “Carolina”.

South Pacific:  VoiceOver will mispronounce “South” as above, but will 
correctly say Pacific when reading by line or continuously

When I type “Southwest”,,   it is reading it correctly, but was not reading it 
correctly on the header for my email from Southwest Airlines. It sounds like it 
is saying “saw ja tee west”.

This could be fixed in IOS 15, but I haven’t upgraded yet, having heard about a 
VoiceOver bug in the App switcher.

Subject: new mispronunciation in 14.8; is it fixed in 15?

Hi, I just sent the below to apple accessibility.  Curious if any of you have 
noticed it and if it’s fixed in IOS 15.

Since updating to IOS 14.8, I noticed a very strange mispronunciation.  I first 
saw it with reading an email from Southwest  Airlines using VoiceOver. Then I 
noticed it when reading a news story in Newsify where  the article mentioned 
South Carolina. This happens using Samantha and Samantha Enhanced and wit Siri 
#1 and Siri #4.  It did not occur when I switched to Alex.

Examples:
“South Carolina:   - If I read by word, it reads correctly.  If I read by line 
or continuous reading, it just says something like “Saw ja tee” and won’t even 
say “Carolina”.  If I ask Siri for the capital of S.C., she will mispronounce 
“South” the same way, but will say “Carolina”.

South Pacific:  VoiceOver will mispronounce “South” as above, but will 
correctly say Pacific when reading by line or continuously

When I type “Southwest”,,   it is reading it correctly, but was not reading it 
correctly on the header for my email from Southwest Airlines. It sounds like it 
is saying “saw ja tee west”.

This could be fixed in IOS 15, but I haven’t upgraded yet, having heard about a 
VoiceOver bug in the App switcher.

new mispronunciation in 14.8; is it fixed in 15?
