Apple Beta Releases

Hi all.
As we are getting closer to the release of ios18 next Monday, I would like to know if espeak ng will continue working, after the ios update?
I use espeak exclusively, so if for any reason it will not work under ios 18, I wouldn't update my phone untill it is fixed.
Many thanks
Nikos

Aye, it does. Tested it out on the beta yesterday. You may just have to choose your voice again.

It does work in macOS 15, but you may have to set your voiceover voice to it again.

Hi all. I have a similar question regarding eSpeak on iOS. For whatever reason, my iPhone 14 will automatically switch to another voice when using eSpeak. This primarily happens when charging the phone. It's not a deal breaker by any means as I can just go back and manually switch the voice if I want to, but I'm just curious whether this has happened to anybody else. I'm running all latest builds of iOS 17, and will probably soon be updating once iOS 18 is let loose.
