Speak Text Action in Homepod mini

I created a Shortcut and included the Speak Text Action. This action reads a Hungarian text.


  1. If I boot this shortcut from the shortcuts app on the ipad, reads the text nicely, in Hungarian, on my Homepod.
  2. When it is timed to run for example at 8 in the morning, it runs, but not on the Homepod but ir run on the Ipad where it is timed.
  3. The third case, when I ask Sir on Homepod to play this shortcut, he plays it on the homepod, but tries to say the Hungarian text in English.


So I think Siri can't handle Hungarian (I know that can't speak Hungarian, unfortunately), but Siri can handle it on the Ipad.


Is there a solution to it? Basically, I want like the ipad, to read the text on the Homepod in Hungarian when it's timed.


Thanks in advance.

Hi there vendel51!


Thank you for posting in Apple Communities. It sounds like your are having some trouble running your shortcut on your iPad. We can give you some tips to help.


"Running Siri Shortcuts requires iOS 12 or later on iPhone, iPod touch, HomePod, or Apple Watch Series 3 or later, and iOS 12 or iPadOS or later on iPad. Shortcuts that require an app to open might not work on HomePod and Apple Watch."


Look here: Run shortcuts with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Siri Suggestions


We hope this helps.


Cheers!
