Original Message From: Loy IOS 14.5 has 4 Siri voices with no description of what kind of voice they are. So I downloaded all 4 to test them. Now I would like to delete the ones I don't like, but I can't find a way to do this. Anyone know how? Loy From: Dominique Farrell Yes there is a way to delete them. When I downloaded two Irish Siri voices to listen to, and then when I wanted to delete one, and because there wasn’t a delete option like there is for the standard VoiceOver voices, I contacted Apple and they advised me to go into “LANGUAGE & REGION” in “SETTINGS & GENERAL”, change the region to another one, go back into “VOICEOVER” and the delete option will be there on the voice that you want to delete, and when they’re deleted, go back into “LANGUAGE & REGION” again and choose your own region again for saving. I know it’s a lengthy process but it does work, but it would be much easier if there was just a delete option like there is for the standard voices that were firstly on VoiceOver. I hope this helps anyone wishing to delete Siri Voices? Dominique From: Mike B Hi Dominique, Well I thank you very much, this worked like a charm. It's relatively simple as well. For others that would like to remove the new Siri voices, and maybe others, but I'm not sure, try the following: Note: I use US English, so make sure you choose a region whose language or dialect you'll understand! 1. Go to Settings / General / Language and Region and do a single finger double tap to open. 2. Swipe to, Region, and do a single finger double tap to open. 3. Find your region and do a single finger double tap to select. You'll get a confirmation dialogue asking if you're sure you want to change, so single finger tap the, Change to..., region option. You might or might not get a message stating that your iPhone will restart and it only takes a second or 2. 4. Now go to, Accessibility / Voiceover / Speech, and delete the voices you want removed. 5. Now repeat steps 1 thru 3, but selecting your original region. Stay safe and take care. Mike. Stay safe and take care. Mike. ----- Original Message ----- From: Casey Wollner To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2021 5:37 PM Subject: RE: Changing Voiceover help please.

Hi Everyone, I recently updated my XR 10 phone to iOS 14.5, and I also changed Voiceover voice from Samantha to Siri 4, I don't like the Siri 4, and I want to change back to Samantha, but can't find any way to do this. I did go back in to the speech settings, and I set Samantha back as the default, but Siri 4 is still speaking. Can someone please tell me how I might change back to Samantha from Siri 4. Thank you all in advance. Janet Peace Be With You. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
