Hi Joshua, Read the messages below to learn how to remove the new Siri voices: 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 When this happened to me after I downloaded two Irish Siri Voices to listen to, and then I wanted to delete one of them, and only have the one Voice for VoiceOver & Siri, Apple advised me to go to “LANGUAGE & REGION” in “SETTINGS & GENERAL” and then change the region from your region to another one, and then go back into “VOICEOVER VOICES” and you can then delete the individual voices. After deleting the voices, go back into “LANGUAGE & REGION” again, and select your chosen region to be saved. Steps below: To delete unwanted Siri voices do the following: list of 7 items 1. Go to “SETTINGS and double tap on it. 2. Swipe to “GENERAL” and double tap. 3. Go to “LANGUAGE & REGION” and double tap. 4. Change your default region to another one and double tap on change to whatever one you’ve chosen. 5. Go to “VOICEOVER & Voices” and double tap on the voice that’s selected. 6. Swipe to the voices you wish to delete and swipe up with one finger to delete and double tap. 7. Go back into “LANGUAGE & REGION” again and select your default region from the list of regions and double tap on it. list end This will delete all Siri voices that you don’t want. 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: Joshua Hendrickson To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2021 4:29 AM Subject: be careful if you download one of the new Siri voices Hi to all. I recently updated my iPhone and was looking forward to trying out one of the new Siri voices. However, after I downloaded one of the voices, I noticed, that if I used it with voice over, it sounded fine, but if I used it with Siri, it sounded kind of muffled. I was going to delete it, but I found out, that at present, this isn't possible. So, just make sure if you want to download one of the new voices either male or female which was my case, that you really want it on your iPhone. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
