VoiceOver switching voices using UK English.

Apple Beta Releases

Hello,

Having just installed the latest beta on my iPhone 12 Pro Max here in the UK I have noticed that Voiceover switches between Daniel and my selected voice Jamie Premium for no apparent reason that I can determine.

For example, screen content is often spoken by Jamie and the accompanying hints are voiced by Daniel.

This voice switching can also occur when swiping through a list or webpage.

This switching does not occur when Eloquence is used, but as I don’t intend to use this synthesiser this is unimportant to me.

Daniel is the default voice here in the UK. As anyone noticed this switching in any other language or region?

Thanks,

Malcolm

I have noticed voice switching in the case of all premium voices I have used. Randomly and frequently the voice switches to the default voice, e.g., switches to Samantha (US) if Ava premium (US) is being used. No such issues with enhanced voices, though.

Have reported this via the Feedback app.
