Hi Richard, Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. While we aren’t able to reply all to the email group, you are welcome to pass this information along. We were able to observe this behavior in our testing, and have reported this to the appropriate team for investigation. Sincerely, Apple Accessibility On March 26, 2020 at 05:05:57 AM GMT, richardturne...@outlook.com<mailto:richardturne...@outlook.com> wrote: I'm copying Apple Accessibility with this message since we are getting very different results. Holly, you asked Siri to spell yesterday, and the American female said "yestertay" but spelled it with a d. I did the same thing but the Siri American Female said "yesterday" and spelled it with the d, of course. But, the Siri American male voice said, "yestertay", and spelled with the d. I could not get any other voice, Siri or VoiceOver to say "yestertay." However, others have had samantha and tom, and others say yesterday as yestertay. This all makes less than no sense and is probably impossible to track down since it is not a consistent bug. Since Apple is likely done with iOS 13 now those who are bothered by this are probably stuck with it until at least iOS 14. HTH, Richard "There's a nap for that."
