Ivona Brian Voice Crack Rapidshare
Fabulously Favuzza
Hello, it's me again, the darn annoying Norwegian.
Hahaha.
I can't express how annoyed I am about this situation.
I have the exact same problem.
All SIRI voices get deleted when charging.
System language = Norwegian.
Default VoiceOver = Norwegian SIRI 1
In my rotor I have UK SIRI 3 but also like 1 and 2 very much.
All damn voices get wiped off my phone every time I charge.
I also like U.S. SIRI 4 quite a bit.
I've tried a few things myself including to have the same voice for both VoiceOver and SIRI itself.
That seemed to work for a while as you pointed out.
I also tried to set up activities with SIRI voices I use in hope that they don't auto-deleted when in use by an activity but no luck.
I have given up and now just use the compact Norwegian voice which is awful and UK Daniel which is ok.
I'm really tired of re-downloading all voices every time I charge my phone.
Fkkn tired.
End of rant and pardon my English.
I use Siri voices in Spanish, English, Italian and Portuguese. I do this for different activities.
Nevertheless, I am also tired of re-downloading voices because they just go missing every time.
This is getting absolutely old.
Unfortunately on my iPhone 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.3 (21D5026f) Siri voices are still being deleted. This has reached the point were having them as an option has become pointless! The voices used to be deleted from my Apple Watch Series 7 but that is no longer the case. It would appear that this problem has been solved on the watch but not on other platforms.
Good thought, Brian. The same had occurred to me and I experimented along the lines you're thinking. It seems to be entirely irrelevant to this issue, however. I have also found that with me, it doesn't matter what charge level you start at. I've tried to identify precisely when this deletion occurs i.e. at what point in the charge cycle. It seems totally random. I appeal to the bleeders at Apple (what a fine word bleeder is, incidentally) to sort this one out! In anticipation of what Dennis Long is about to say, yes, I have reported it.
I ask because, as I mentioned, I have noticed the auto-delete happen when I change primary voices. Like if I switch from, let us say, Siri voice 1 (US) to Siri voice 3 (UK), the Siri voice 1 will auto-delete. However, I have (not) experienced the 'voice deleting while charging' thing.
I've just had a thought and might put it to the test: how about switching the phone to aeroplane mode immediately before charging? Sure, that's not a great solution if you still want notifications while charging but I do my charging overnight so should be fast asleep in any case. I'm wondering if precluding access to wifi or mobile data will mean the iPhone won't delete these voices?
Brian, all of this has been going on with my primary language. Unfortunately the theories you're having about this don't seem to have any bearing on the scenario at all. Thanks for the suggestions in any case. '
Let me ask you guys this: has anyone tried setting up as new to get rid of this problem? I really, really don't want to have to do this as it's then a pain to put everything back, so if someone has already tried without success I would be keen to know so as not to put 10 years on my chronological age.
No, but I was very close on going the set up as new route because this is driving me mad.
However, I calmed down and decided to wait until I get a new phone.
My XR is showing it's age and when I get a new phone I will set up as new for sure.
I have a feeling that it won't help though.
I'm having the same issue, with perhaps a minor variation, on both my iPhone and iPad. On mine, if I'm using a Siri voice as VO's default, that one will not delete. However, the voices I use for my other languages (in my case German and Swedish) will mostly disappear. I say mostly because the system behaves as if they are still there when I go in to look at the voices. However, I cannot redownload them nor can I use what the system is reporting to be present until I set the language to another voice. Then the voice deletes, and I can redownload it. Neither setting up a device as new nor the offload unused aps setting changes this behavior.
That being said, I've gone back to using the Nuance voices for my secondary languages for now. It seems they do not delete. I have, of course, filed a full bug report to Apple and I would suggest that everyone here do the same. That is the only way the bug is likely to get fixed. From my initial investigations, this appears to be completely unrelated to Voiceover and rather seems to be a bug in Siri and the voice handling routines that are used to handle management of the Siri voices. I suspect a bug in the procedures that check for language updates to the voices, however I cannot say with certainty. I've indicated such in my report to Apple.
So I don't know if this has any weird baring on this issue, but I was having this issue a lot right after iOS 17 came out. I noticed that the Siri voices I was using would be deleted quite often between 11pm and midnight. not sure if this means anything, but I have not had this issue happen in the last couple weeks so I don't know what changed. I don't think anything I've done has changed.
No, it ain't me, it ain't me. I ain't the fortunate one but sadly I is and am. Having reported this issue on this forum a while back now too lazy and unable to remember if I actually did. iPhone 12 IOS 17.2.1 or whatever is the latest Region/ Language set to India/ English US. Using Samantha for VO voice and English US Voice 3 for Siri. All voices that I downloaded under Settings/ accessibility/ spoken content/ voices/ English just disappear after I plug my phone to charge in the morning.
Folks honestly, it's time to esclate this matter to apple, it's just beyond my patience now. Please go to feedback.apple.com and report this as a bug for iPhone. I already have reported it and would appreciate the support of the community
I don't think the time of day is the answer. I had this hapen mid-afternoon a week ago. I wish you were right. What a shame there aren't any decent qulity third party synthesisers to choose from while this sorts itself out. I'd use Ivona Brian any day.
As an experiment I did not charge my iPhone as I usually do. After 24 hours of usage with the device not being charged all voices were still available. On charging completion however voices were deleted.
Basic mental arithmetic is something I accomplish comfortably in my head, Brian, so I don't have an abacus, nor do I use my iPhone as a calculator. besides, what would be the point of putting away a paperweight? surely a paperweight should be used to weigh down paper? If you're going to make jokes, you need to thihnk them through properly. as it is, there's probably a job for you in the Christmas cracker manufacturing line when december comes round.
Back to the topic, It may be that altering one's charging habits really is the only answer - allow the phone to get up to something less than 100% then stop charging it. I did that earlier, got up to 85% and my siri voices were still there.
Everyone's experience is different, but for me the voice deletion problem has been occurring since late in the iOS 16 cycle and still continues on 17.2.1 on my iPhone 11. I first thought it was a charging thing or night thing or rotor language thing but have since experienced it during the day and while unplugged and with my primary voiceover language.
I included more details here in another thread:

Jake mentioned that with the non-Siri voices they appeared to have switched but not been deleted until after changing the voice selection, which is required to get the preferred voice back. I think the non-Siri selected voice has indeed been deleted, which triggered the audible voice change, but it's not obvious that it's been deleted since it appears (key word APPEARS) to still be selected in the speech settings. Since it's not possible to download a voice while it appears selected, it's necessary to switch to another voice to be able to re-download the preferred voice and select it again. I could be wrong though -- the next time the voice changes I'll explore the spoken content speech settings to check if my preferred VO voice is still downloaded before going back into the VO speech settings to re-download. Stay tuned I guess...
Very interesting that Malcolm13 reported that even default voices are getting deleted. I had thought that those people using the default voices (both Siri and non-Siri) would not have this problem. Good to know.
Feel happy that I am not having this issue. Hope Apple address this but she who should not be mention, has a better chance of becoming president. Good luck to all who are not having this issue. Hope it continues.
First, I am aware this technically does not have anything to do with VoiceOver. At least it shouldn't, however, as I have mentioned above, the only auto deletion I personally have experienced is if I go to change my VO voice manually, the voice I was using prior auto deletes.
Currently I have Siri Voice 1 (US) as my VO and Siri. I also have Siri Voice 1 (US) as my default US voice in the aforementioned Spoken Content setting.
OK all said and done this is a bug that is affecting certain devices since IOS 16, other issue that has been chasing and haunting me is the Shortcuts application and since this issue is being carried over from my older devices i.e. 5S, SE, SE2 and now 12 I am afraid something is corrupted in my iCloud account. Because I always restore from iCloud back up. I don't see anything else as to why this bug is a repeated offender.
Gang up, keep sending feedback and hope it is soon addressed. Downloaded Siri voices from Spoken Content are deleted each time the phone is plugged in for a charge. I download the Siri Voices from Settings/ accessibility/ Spoken Content/ Voices/ System Voices/ English
