Once I installed iOS 9.0 the VoiceOver voice was distorted and the speaking rate very fast - nearly illegible. I have been unable to change the voice or rate in Settings. It allows me to select a voice, but the "selected" voice is NOT used. I have found no way to get the "selected" voice to be used. Restarting the iPhone (6 Plus) has no affect.

I have not installed 9.1 yet ... will it make it worse or better!?
