If you do not want those rotor languages, flick up to delete and double tap.
You do not need other languages/voices unless you want them.
The only one you need is under speech, voice.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the suggestions. We did try changing the batteries, and that did
not help. The only switch we found has the positions labeled “E” and “G”. I
have no idea what that means, but we tried changing it from where it was set at
“E”, and it made no difference.
Thanks.

I haven't tried the city guides, but have you tried flicking left and right
with three fingers? Maybe they scroll horizontally. If not, you could try
toggling VoiceOver and swiping with one finger.

One thing to remember, Apple uses the word language, to also refer to voices.
It sounds like you have at least two other voices set.
Also, unless you turn it off under VoiceOver speech settings, when using the
default voice if another language is encountered on the web or even in an
email,
on the inside of the unit that contains the batteries, there is a 2 position
cycling switch. You should make sure that it is set to the short cycling
position. This will make sure that the AC or heating unit runs for a shorter
period of time. With some installations, the batteries provide the

I only have the one language as my default. I’ve never added language to the

You cannot remove language from the rotor, it appears if you have more than one
language selected, that is, a rotor language as well as the default language.
So, if you only have the default voice, my understanding is, you should not see

Note that the compass is going to report every, tiny, tiny, movement you make.
So if you are traveling due south at 180 degrees and you slightly turn the

Quite often, the air conditioner stays on much longer than it needs to. For

indicate that the temperature we set it for has been

We have had a VIP Talking Thermostat for years, well actually we have probably

We have a Honeywell model that works quite well. The schedule section of the

Well, if the Zoom IQ 7 is still available, it is a very good microphone,

The question has not been asked, and I did not see it in the original post,
what kind of recording is the microphone going to be used for?
The Zoom IQ microphones are stereo and fairly small and work best on a phone
without a case, or at least a case that leaves the charging port completely

Does anyone have experience with using the EcoBee thermostat, either with the
