[Cinci-nfb] Voice over

[Deanna Lewis]

Hi Rachel,
I too prefer a female voice on my iPhone. I can understand her very
well. I struggle to understand Jaws sometimes, and I can't listen to
anything super fast. If it talks too fast, I lose concentration and
start to tune it out. It takes a while to get used to synthesized
speech, especially when you are used to reading things visually.
