Hi there,

I had something very similar! Yes, I certainly had problems with the voices when I downloaded all the best speaking voices, only to find that they sounded absolutely awful after the upgrade and I just couldn't bear to listen to them like that! I couldn't crank up the volume much above 50 percent as reading became too tedious and annoying. I Actually complained to The Accessability Team but then, seeing a message from Rajmund, I decided to give his advice a shot. Three or four times I ended up flashing my phone to clear out any rubbish stuck in the system, and finally I managed to get a result! :-) Now, my voices sound clear and I am happy once again!

I know that I tried twice to do the reset where you hold down the Home and lock screen key for 10 seconds, I then tried all sorts and must say that some things were not terribly authentic! :-) However, I did get it working but couldn't tell you quite everything I did because I can't remember properly! No doubt, some who know better than I, can tell you exactly how to do the resets properly! :-)

I do hope that gets you there. Please let me know as I am interested to see how this one goes.

(The rest of this message may be interesting to some but is a little long so feel free to skip if you're not interested once you start reading on.)

Whilst writing, some may remember that I mentioned a bug in my phone after I had been inputting in Braille, when it had some text trapped somewhere in its buffer... At the time, various people suggested a few things to me but I don't think they'd really grasped the problem. It had occurred when I'd written a message to a friend in Braille with the Smart Beetle. This was before the upgrade, when Braille wasn't behaving very well and I was just learning the Beetle. I got frustrated and deleted the message! From that time onwards, over a number of weeks, Each time I dictated to Siri and he got it a little bit screwed up and I corrected with the backspace key to delete to remove those characters the phone would read out about three sentences of the message I had attempted to write to a friend and had deleted it those weeks back. I could still delete characters but couldn't stop this piece of texst from reading each time.I even selected it and played it again, using the four times three-finger tap, and there it was again! I also did various resets at that point without success. I knew, the only thing to do was to wait till the upgrade and, as the system was renewed and changed, it would probably go away. Well, it did! HURRAY!

Gremlins, for sure!

Hi: I've installed IOS10 and with voice over, using "Samantha" the voice sounds funny and sort of distorted. Have any of you experienced this? If so, what should I do about it?
Thanks.
