Eloquence Crashes, Switches To Samantha

Apple Beta Releases

Hello all,

Has this happened to you?

Today, I logged into my Mac, and Eloquence crashed on me. It then switches to Samantha, in which, looking at the voices, Eloquence disappears.

I have reported this to Apple as best as I can.

A while back, Eloquence crashed on my iPhone XR as well, changing the voice back to Samantha. It disappeared from my iPhone as well. After updating my iPhone Beta software, it came back.

Has anyone else experienced this bug?

Thank you.

I've had that happen twice, but don't know what triggered it. Eloquence came back after I switched to another app.

I suppose things like this are why you can't delete the Samantha compact voice: The list of voices now shows it as using 11 MB and that it is used by VoiceOver when you tap the edit button.

I as well had that happen twice. for me, it was the first boot of the last two developer betas. I didn’t report it yet, as it’s a hard bug to reproduce. but I will if it happens on developer beta 6.

Don't wait to report bugs. Give Apple as much time as possible to polish it for release. Never ever wait to report bugs.
