iOS Shortcuts - Speak short cut not working when run via automation

Hi, I recently seem to have encountered a problem where the speak shortcut when invoked via automation has stopped working for the voices that I had set. They were the female Irish voice and the UK English Siri 1 voice.

I have discovered that changing the voice to one of the US ones allows removes the issue.

Has anyone else seen this particular feature and do they have any explanation why this is occurring or how I may be able to revert to my original choice of Irish or UK English Siri 1 voices.

i’m seeing this issue on my iPhone set my iPad seems to be okay.

Hi M-Dbell, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that you are experiencing issues with a speak shortcut when Siri Voice is set to a female Irish voice and a female British voice.

Have you had the chance to disable Siri, then set it up again?

You can do this by going to Settings > Siri & Search, then toggle Listen for "Hey Siri" and Press Side Button for Siri.

Performing this step will allow you to set up Siri again.

Also, we recommend that you recreate your speak shortcut.
