hi all,
I found an old post on AppleVis, made by an arainion, who wanted Persion in iOS. the post is from 2017. they linked to a persion website in that post. though I only speak English, I wanted to try VoiceOver in other languages besides English. so my findings. I went to the provided link, and VoiceOver said unpranouncible with commas using Eloquence, just like the person said. so I added persion to my roter languages and started reading the site with the persion voice. I knotest, VmoiceOver reads persion now, in iOS 16. this is great to see. haven’t tried the persion keyboard yet, but I will and post to this thread.

VoiceOver in Persian, not working as expected
Hi Daniel. I made that post back in 2017 - and later, and am glad that iOS 16 provides a Persian voice. However, what I've found, and reported to Apple, is that VoiceOver never auto-switches to that Persian voice whenever Persian text is encountered. Here - on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, VoiceOver either switches to the low-quality Arabic voice instead of the correct Persian voice, or never makes the switch. I've tested both Alex and Eloquence, and have to always make the switch myself manually via the Rotor. This is quite strange because Arabic isn't included in my Rotor languages, but VoiceOver always thinks that the Persian stuff is in Arabic. Hope it is fixed before the final iOS 16 release, but I reported it with the first beta and no fix has been provided yet.
wow, I didn’t realize
that is a major bug, and I hope Apple fixes it in upcoming beta releases. heres hoping there will be a fix soon. hopefully in developer beta 6 maybe.
good try
this is a good try!
