Hello.
When playing certain games or using certain apps with VoiceOver, Alex reads some information very slowly. I typically have VoiceOver speech rate between 75 and 90%, and the speech rate in the spoken content screen is around 80%.
This does not happen with any other voices. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks.

Tried disabling pitch
Just four troubleshooting purposes, try disabling the allow pitch change for both VoiceOver, and Spoken Content. Might give you a better experience.
Best of luck. :-)
I think mentioning the apps or games might help.
I can't help unfortunetly but others might be able to try them and report back.
Screen recording
I made a screen recording showing the issue.
Of course I can't show the other apps since I don't have any good videos for Seeing AI and I can't screen record a Be My Eyes call, but I did show it in a game that has the issue.

Is Audio Playing in These Apps?
Hi Rich,
Your reference to not being able to screen record a Be My Eyes call got me thinking... In these apps, is audio playing when the issue occurs?
The reason I ask, is that for quite some time, there has been an issue where VoiceOver becomes slower to respond when audio is playing in the background. Looking at your original post that doesn't appear to be what you are describing, but just wanted to check as if this is what it is, I can at least confirm that I see it too.

I just assumed you can't. A friend of mine tried to screen record a Facetime call once and they said it didn't capture the audio.
I'm not experiencing this at all.
I've used all these apps with no issues, I wonder what's going on...

I tried deleting and re-installing the voice, but it didn't help.
I just checked out your recording.
The only thing I can recommend is reporting it to apple, perhaps if you send them that screen recording they might be able to listen to it and explain what's going on or fix it.

Activities?
I know you may have checked this, and you may have no activities created for specific contexts or apps, but it is worth checking that you have no specific activity auomatically triggers when you use the app.

Not sure how, but I ended up with an activity called activity 1. I deleted it but have the same problem.
