iOS 15 Siri voices worked perfectly. However, iOS 16 has a lot of issues - such as skipping words and sentences, and stopping reading all together. Obviously, this is a problem with the TTS I myself use Siri to read books while driving, but I regret updating to iOS 16. I went as far as upgrading my iPhone SE to my iPhone 14 Pro thinking it was the memory issue, but it's the same issue on both phones even my Mac M1 Pro with 16Gigs has same issues.

It would be nice to receive and update or even a roll back to iOS 15 state of TTS

Hey there, thanks for sharing your experience with TTS on iOS 16 and sorry that it's been having issues for you! First, let me recommend that you update to the latest iOS release if you haven't already; 16.2 if you are using public builds and 16.3 if you are using beta builds.

If these issues are still reproducing readily for you, the best way to get actionable information to the team is to file a feedback report through Feedback Assistant: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

The Feedback Assistant app can help you collect system logs which are extremely valuable for triaging issues like the ones you describe. Once you do this please reply here with Feedback ID numbers for each separate problem you encounter.
