I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own. 
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good 
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold 
a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

        I can understand someone not liking the voices, but folks this is it 
really! If we didn't have these voices or any of them, we would be in a world 
of hurtin'. Be greatful that you have choices. Be greatful you have VoiceOver 
period. Apple has made it nice for us although thereare bugs. There will always 
be bugs so don't expect a perfect world of technology because they are human, 
too. Anyway, that's my rant for today.

                I really don't like any of the voices but for now, I've got 
Siri male. I really hate the sound of all of them except for Siri male and 
really hate the way Siri voices pronounce some words. Looks like they could 
come up with better ones.

                        Is this the problem with Samatha that you all are 
talking or is Samatha a different voice than Siri?

                                Someone else had the same problem and she 
called Apple. I also had the same problem. What we have to do is change her 
voice if you have the American  Female  that seems to be the problem. It was 
with the last update that some of us are having a problem with that. I changed 
it to the male American Apple had suggested to the other person to change it to 
a British voice. So it’s up to you but whatever when you change it and it 
should work. Apparently with the next update this should be resolved.

                                        For some reason Siri has quit speaking. 
I have tried pressing the volume up after asking her a question and all that 
seems to do is raise the volume of the phone but not Siri. I have also tried 
rebooting my phone and that did not help. What else can I try to get her 
speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update on a iPhone 10S.
