Pitch and Voice Settings Being Read Aloud Before Text on iOS #251

Open n-mullins opened 8 months ago

n-mullins commented 8 months ago

On certain iOS devices, whenever any text is read aloud via tts.speak(text), the current settings for pitch and voice are read aloud before the text, making the message very confusing. I haven't been able to pin down the exact version/device to reproduce this problem reliably, but the device that I did experience it on was running OS 16.7.1.

Has anyone else experienced this, or possibly know a solution for it?

I've just come across this issue too, on iOS 16.3.1 - did you manage to find a solution @n-mullins?

For anyone else who comes across this issue, I ended up updating to iOS 17 and this seems to be fixed.

More specifically, I was using the Apple voice Rocko, which in version 17 seems to have been removed.
