Siri does not read German text anymore since 14.5

Siri does not read German text anymore since 14.5.

Worked before upgrading. No settings changed. Siri reads English fine but German text not anymore. Context menu shows ‚Paus‘ after hitting ‚Start‘. Siri thinks she is reading but I can‘t hear anything. As said works fine with English text.

I‘ve restarted and checked accessibility features. Settings are all fine.

If I ask Siri stuff she answers.

I tried some of the stuff and changed Siri’s voice from voice 2 to voice 1 (male). This triggered voice download of voice 1. Also I deleted Siri’s recent history.

Now Siri’s reads German text. So far so good. The fun is that she reads in with voice 2 (female) although voice 1 (male) is selected.

Greetings, and welcome to Apple Support Communities Basti1900,


We can see that Siri is no longer reading German text since updating your iPhone to iOS 14.5.


First, let's make sure we've covered everything: If "Hey Siri" isn't working on your iPhone or iPad We realize that you've already completed many of these steps but want to make sure everything is been checked including these basic items.


Next, let's have you contact Apple Support: Apple - Support We'd want to check this further to narrow down what might be happening.


Cheers!
