Hi guys, I thought the real-time recognition function was broken for everyone since iOS 17, but now I saw from some posts here that only mine is broken
My issue is that when I activate real-time recognition, my iPhone just makes sounds for each element recognized by the camera or the laidar sensor or whatever.
I already double check on my real-time recognition options that the option "read out loud" is selected, but for example when I open the real-time recognition app, if I select Recognize text and also select point to read, it only makes a robotic sound when it identifies text but nothing is read; also when I activate door recognition or furniture recognition, it perfectly recognizes where those elements are, but nothing is read.
what am I doing wrong?
Just for the record, I use my iPhone in Spanish so I tried to translate the options to english, but they may change from what you see on your settings.
thanks in advance.

Is your phone muted?
Sometimes, if you have your phone muted or silent, you won’t get the vocal feedback. Essentially if your phone is on vibrate, you won’t get it, if your ringer is up, then you should.
No
Neither of the above mentioned
This is a longshot, but…
This is a longshot, but maybe try changing your VoiceOver voice, and see if that gives you a better result?
There are two possible solutions
Hello, I think there might be two ways that could help you. The first method, which should also be the most effective, is to reset all settings on your iPhone. The current iOS code might be too complex, making it difficult even for engineers to pinpoint the root cause of many issues. In such cases, resetting all settings is the most efficient solution. The second method is to try switching to a Spanish voice, as some voices perform very poorly during VoiceOver operation, and sometimes we have no choice but to replace our favorite ones.
