Problem with Siri on iPhone XR on iOS 13.4

Hi dave_a,

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. I understand the voice used for Siri and spoken content do not match. It sounds like you'll need to adjust your speech settings.

"Change the speech settings



1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.
2. Adjust any of the following:

• • Speak Selection: To hear text you selected, tap the Speak button.
  • Speak Screen: To hear the entire screen, swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen.
  • Speech Controller: Show the controller for quick access to Speak Screen and Speak on Touch.
  • Highlight Content: iPhone can highlight words, sentences, or both as they’re spoken. You can change the highlight color and style.
• Typing Feedback: You can configure typing feedback for the onscreen and external keyboards and choose to have iPhone speak each character, entire words, auto-corrections, auto-capitalizations, and typing predictions.
  • To hear typing predictions, you also need to go to Settings > General > Keyboards, then turn on Predictive.
  • Voices: Choose a voice and dialect.
  • Speaking Rate: Drag the slider.
  • Pronunciations: Dictate or spell out how you want certain phrases to be spoken."

You'll find more information regarding speech settings linked below.

* Hear iPhone speak the screen, selected text, and typing feedback

Cheers!
