Pitch and Voice Settings Being Read Aloud Before Text on iOS

[n-mullins]

On certain iOS devices, whenever any text is read aloud via tts.speak(text), the current settings for pitch and voice are read aloud before the text, making the message very confusing. I haven't been able to pin down the exact version/device to reproduce this problem reliably, but the device that I did experience it on was running OS 16.7.1.

Has anyone else experienced this, or possibly know a solution for it?

I've just come across this issue too, on iOS 16.3.1 - did you manage to find a solution @n-mullins?

For anyone else who comes across this issue, I ended up updating to iOS 17 and this seems to be fixed.

More specifically, I was using the Apple voice Rocko, which in version 17 seems to have been removed.
