[Electronics-Talk] iPhone voiceover voice issue, trouble phrasing a Google search

[Annely Rose]

Hi, 

Someone gave me a suggestion: go into Settings and turn your airplane mode
on and off.  That does a kind of reset without losing any information.  Hope
it works.  I haven't tried it.

Have you restarted the phone; this is extremely abnormal.
If it doesn't work, I would call Apple Accessibility.

I tried that a few times.  Have also added an additional American English
voice  to see if my phone would switch over.  No dice.

In my rotor I have a voice option and the two choices ar
* English US and
* English US default

Both sound about the same, the default one sounds a bit rougher.
