So I took the plunge, and updated today to ios17. I turned off the hier sample rate of elequense, however, in apps such as speech central, where elequense reed is selected as my main voice to read books with... The voice still reads with the higher sample rate enabled, even though its turned off in per voice settings, which, in theory, would mean that this would get turned off when using this voice to read books in apps such as speech central, has anyone else encountered this?
For reference, heres a screen recording of what I mean.

Try a different area
Hello,
I don't think it's a bug, it's just that you turned it off only for VoiceOver.
Instead of going to settings/accessibility/VoiceOver, go to settings/accessibility/spoken content. Find the voice you want there, in this case Reed, and open per voice settings in the same way and make sure higher sample rate is off there too.
re, try a different area
I did try that, and same thing. This also happens with any other voice. No matter if you adjust it in settings / accessibility / spoken content, the changes won't apply in apps such as speech central and or other apps which use ios voices, per testing. Reported this to apple already.
What about the speech…
What about the speech settings in Speech Central itself? I know it and Voice Dream have them.
re, what about the speech
I did check the voice settings in speech central, but no dice. The voice still shows up with the higher sample rate in speech central even though the higher sample rate is off in accessibility spoken content.
